Overview of RKS1K270MCNAHJGS – Surface Mount Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor
The RKS1K270MCNAHJGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in the RKS series, rated at 27 µF and 80 V. It combines low ESR and high allowable ripple current with extended high-temperature endurance for demanding general-purpose power decoupling and smoothing applications.
Designed for SMD assembly and shipped in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing, this part targets designs that require compact, polarized capacitance with stable performance across –55 °C to 125 °C and a rated load life of 3000 hours at 125 °C.
Key Features
- Core Technology — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable electrical performance and reduced equivalent series resistance compared to standard electrolytics.
- Capacitance & Voltage — 27 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and an 80 V rated voltage for higher-voltage SMD applications.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR of 40 mΩ measured at 20 °C / 100 kHz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.1 A (300 kHz), supporting reduced loss and improved thermal behavior under AC ripple.
- Measured Loss Angle — tan δ = 0.12 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), providing a quantifiable dissipation factor for AC performance evaluation.
- High-Temperature Endurance — Rated life of 3000 hours at 125 °C under rated voltage, with specified limits on capacitance, tan δ and ESR after endurance testing.
- Compact SMD Package — Size φ8 × 10L (D: 8 mm × L: 10 mm), radial can SMD package suited for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated placement.
- Manufacturing & Handling — Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and designed to withstand reflow soldering profiles documented in the series datasheet.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Power conversion modules — Use for smoothing and energy buffering where high-frequency ripple currents and low ESR are required.
- DC–DC converters — Suitable for input/output decoupling in compact converter stages thanks to 27 µF capacitance and high ripple capability.
- Industrial and instrumentation electronics — Provides stable capacitance across –55 °C to 125 °C and long life at elevated temperature for rugged environments.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple-current tolerance: 1.1 A at 300 kHz and 110 mA at 120 Hz reduce heating and extend operating life in AC-loaded circuits.
- Low ESR at high frequency: 40 mΩ (20 °C / 100 kHz) enables lower power loss and better filtering performance in high-speed power rails.
- Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125 °C under rated voltage provides predictable endurance for thermally demanding designs.
- Compact SMD form factor: φ8 × 10 mm can fits tight PCB footprints while remaining suitable for automated assembly and moisture-controlled handling.
- Measured dissipation factor: tan δ = 0.12 at 20 °C / 120 Hz gives a clear reference for AC loss budgeting in design simulations.
- RoHS compliant and production-ready: Mass production status with embossed carrier taping / moisture-proof packing supports volume manufacturing and storage.
