RKS1K270MCNAHGGS

The RKS1K270MCNAHGGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in the RKS series, specified at 27 µF and 80 V. It combines low equivalent series resistance and rated ripple-current capability in a compact φ8 × 7.7 mm SMD can package.

Designed for general-purpose surface-mount applications, this part provides extended endurance (3,000 hours at 125°C), reflow solder compatibility, and measurable low-loss performance for designs that require stable capacitance and reliable high-temperature operation.

Key Features

• Construction — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic design for surface-mount (radial, can - SMD) installation in embedded and board-level assemblies.
• Nominal Value & Tolerance — 27 µF rated capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20% at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Rated Voltage — 80 V working voltage suitable for higher-voltage SMD capacitor requirements.
• Low ESR — 40 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 20°C and 100 kHz, supporting reduced dissipation in high-frequency applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — 110 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.1 A at 300 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple loads.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 108 µA after rated-voltage application conditions.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated life of 3,000 hours at 125°C (endurance conditions per series datasheet).
• Package & Handling — φ8 × 7.7 mm dimensions in an SMD can; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• RoHS Compliance — Series-level documentation indicates compliance with the RoHS directive.
• Reflow Compatibility — SMD type compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to a 260°C peak, per series soldering conditions.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose surface-mount circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and stable performance for board-level designs that specify a 27 µF, 80 V polymer aluminum capacitor.
• High-frequency power sections — Low ESR (40 mΩ at 100 kHz) and a 1.1 A high-frequency ripple rating support circuits with significant high-frequency ripple currents.
• Elevated-temperature environments — 3,000-hour endurance at 125°C makes the part suitable for applications requiring long-term stability at high ambient or junction temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss, polymer-based construction: Conductive polymer electrolytes reduce ESR and support higher ripple current relative to conventional wet electrolytic types, improving thermal performance.
• High-voltage SMD option: 80 V rating in a compact φ8 × 7.7 mm SMD can delivers higher-voltage capability without moving to larger form factors.
• Measured high-frequency performance: 40 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 1.1 A ripple-current rating at 300 kHz help minimize voltage ripple and power dissipation in switching supplies and converters.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 3,000 hours at 125°C provides predictable aging characteristics for designs with extended high-temperature runtime requirements.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and reflow compatibility to 260°C peak simplify automated placement and lead‑free reflow processes.
