RKS1K150MCNAHGGS

The RKS1K150MCNAHGGS is a surface-mount conductive-polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s RKS series. It delivers a compact 15 µF capacitance at an 80 V rating in a φ8 × 7.7 mm SMD can, designed for general-purpose electronic power applications.

Key value propositions include low ESR (40 mΩ at 100 kHz), high allowable ripple current (1.1 A at 300 kHz), wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 125 °C) and a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 125 °C—making it suitable where stability, ripple handling and compact SMD packaging are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15 µF capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for polarized power applications that require medium capacitance at elevated voltages.
• Conductive-Polymer Electrolyte — Solid polymer construction for stable electrical characteristics and low equivalent series resistance compared to traditional electrolytics.
• Low ESR — 40 mΩ ESR specified at 20 °C / 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency decoupling and reduced heat generation under ripple load.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 110 mA at 120 Hz and 1.1 A at 300 kHz, enabling robust performance in high-frequency power circuits.
• Wide Temperature & Long Life — Operating range from −55 °C to 125 °C with a load life specification of 3000 hours at 125 °C for sustained high-temperature reliability.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 100 µA and tan δ (loss tangent) of 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, helping predict quiescent losses.
• SMD Can Package & Assembly — Radial can SMD (φ8 × 7.7 mm) designed for surface-mount assembly; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing and compatible with lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in electronic circuits where an 80 V, 15 µF polarized SMD capacitor is required.
• High-Frequency Decoupling — Circuits requiring low ESR and high ripple current capability for effective HF noise suppression and stability.
• Industrial Electronics — Power modules and control systems that demand wide operating temperature range and long-term endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for Efficient Power Delivery: 40 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces I2R losses and supports tighter voltage regulation under dynamic load.
• High Ripple Current Tolerance: 1.1 A at 300 kHz enables use in high-frequency switching and power conversion circuits without excessive heating.
• Wide Temperature & Proven Endurance: −55 °C to 125 °C rating with 3000-hour life at 125 °C provides predictable long-term behavior in demanding environments.
• SMD Format Optimized for Production: φ8 × 7.7 mm can in embossed carrier tape and moisture-proof packing for automated surface-mount assembly and reflow processes (260 °C peak compatible).
• Stable Leakage and Loss Characteristics: Specified leakage current (100 µA) and tan δ (0.12 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) allow straightforward thermal and loss budgeting in designs.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for use in compliant product lines.
