RKS1J680MCNAJLGS

The RKS1J680MCNAJLGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in the RKS series. It provides 68 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating in a compact φ10 × 12.4 mm can-style SMD package with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing.

Engineered for general-purpose electronic designs that require low ESR, elevated ripple handling, and long-term thermal endurance, this part delivers measurable performance across high-frequency and high-temperature environments (–55°C to +125°C) with a rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 68 µF capacitance at 63 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) and tanδ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable AC behavior.
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Capability — ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz and a high-frequency ripple current rating of 1.4 A (at 300 kHz), supporting demanding switching environments.
• Ripple Current — 140 mA allowable ripple at low frequency (120 Hz) and 1.4 A at high frequency, enabling stable operation under varying ripple conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 214 µA, measured after rated voltage application as part of product characterization.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C with an endurance rating of 3000 hours at 125°C, supporting long-term reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Surface-Mount Package — Radial, can-style SMD package (φ10 × 12.4 mm) designed for automated placement and supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as indicated in product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Low ESR (30 mΩ @100 kHz) and high ripple handling (1.4 A at 300 kHz) make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and filtering in switching power supplies and DC–DC converters.
• Decoupling in high-frequency circuits — The 100 kHz ESR specification and 1.4 A high-frequency ripple rating support decoupling and stability in high-speed power rails and control electronics.
• Industrial electronics — With a –55°C to +125°C operating range and 3000 h life at 125°C, the part is appropriate for industrial control and instrumentation designs that require extended thermal endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: 1.4 A at 300 kHz enables reliable performance in high-frequency switching applications where sustained AC currents are present.
• Low ESR for efficient energy transfer: 30 mΩ (20°C/100 kHz) reduces power loss and heat generation in power conversion and decoupling roles.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides proven endurance for designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• Compact SMD can package: φ10 × 12.4 mm form factor with embossed carrier taping supports automated assembly and space-constrained board layouts.
• Measurable, application-oriented specs: Specified leakage current (214 µA), tanδ (0.12), and ripple values give engineers clear parameters for system-level design and thermal budgeting.
