RKS1V560MCNAHFGS

The RKS1V560MCNAHFGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-capacitance, high-ripple applications. With a 56 µF nominal capacitance at 35 V and a compact φ8 × 6.7 mm SMD can package, it targets power-management and filtering functions where low ESR and thermal endurance are required.

Its core value proposition is combining low equivalent series resistance and high allowable ripple current with extended high-temperature life—providing stable decoupling and smoothing in dense electronic assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 56 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 35 V and ±20% tolerance, suitable for a range of DC bus and rail decoupling use cases.
• Low Loss/Tan δ: tanδ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating low dielectric loss for stable AC performance at specified conditions.
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Performance: ESR of 30 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz and high-frequency ripple current rating of 1.6 A at 300 kHz, enabling effective high-frequency filtering and reduced power dissipation.
• Ripple Current Handling: Low-frequency ripple current of 160 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.6 A at 300 kHz to support both bulk smoothing and high-speed switching environments.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current up to 100 µA, measured per the datasheet conditioning and measurement conditions.
• Thermal Endurance: Rated operating temperature range from −55°C to +125°C with a load life of 3000 hours at 125°C, providing long-term stability under elevated-temperature operation.
• Package & Mounting: Surface-mount radial can (φ8 × 6.7 mm) with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Reflow Compatibility: SMD type compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak when following the specified soldering profile in the datasheet.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Power-supply decoupling: Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make this capacitor suitable for local decoupling on regulator outputs and power rails to stabilize voltage under dynamic loads.
• DC–DC converters: High-frequency ripple handling (1.6 A at 300 kHz) and compact SMD form factor support smoothing and energy storage in switching regulator stages.
• High-frequency filtering: The combination of low tanδ and low ESR supports effective noise attenuation at higher switching frequencies.
• Industrial and embedded electronics: Extended −55°C to +125°C operating range and 3000-hour life at 125°C provide endurance for thermally demanding board-level applications.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for efficient filtering: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and thermal rise, improving energy efficiency in power circuits.
• High ripple-current capability: 1.6 A HF ripple rating and 160 mA LF ripple rating allow the capacitor to handle switching and low-frequency loads without excessive heating.
• High-temperature reliability: 3000 hours life at 125°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to elevated ambient or internal board temperatures.
• SMD packaging for automated assembly: φ8 × 6.7 mm SMD can with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing simplifies placement and storage for production lines.
• Reflow-ready: Compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles (up to 260°C peak as specified) supports modern assembly processes.
