RKS1V680MCNAHHGS

The RKS1V680MCNAHHGS from Nichicon is a conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can. With a 68 µF capacitance and 35 V rated voltage, it delivers low ESR and high allowable ripple current for board-level power filtering where high-frequency performance and elevated temperature endurance are required.

Packaged for automated assembly with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing, this SMD capacitor supports lead-free reflow processes and is specified for extended operation up to 125°C with a 3000‑hour load-life rating.

Key Features

• Dielectric / Construction — Conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable electrical characteristics and polar operation.
• Electrical Ratings — 68 µF capacitance at ±20% tolerance and 35 V rated voltage.
• Low Loss / Low ESR — ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 20°C and 100 kHz; tanδ of 0.12 at 20°C and 120 Hz for efficient high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Capability — Rated ripple current of 160 mA at 120 Hz and 1.6 A at 300 kHz to support both low- and high-frequency switching environments.
• Extended High‑Temperature Endurance — Load-life rated for 3000 hours at 125°C under rated voltage.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −55°C to 125°C operation.
• SMD Can Package — Radial SMD can, dimensions φ8 × 8.7 mm (D × L); recommended land pattern 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Assembly Ready — Compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering (peak up to 260°C per specified profile) and supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
• Leakage Current — Typical limit of 119 µA after standard conditioning.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑frequency power rails — Low ESR and specified ripple current at 100 kHz–300 kHz make this capacitor suitable for decoupling and smoothing in high-frequency switching environments.
• Elevated‑temperature designs — Rated for continuous operation up to 125°C with a 3000‑hour endurance, supporting board-level power delivery in high-temperature applications.
• Surface‑mount production — SMD can package and lead‑free reflow compatibility simplify integration into automated assembly flows and standard reflow processes.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR at high frequency: 30 mΩ at 100 kHz supports tighter voltage regulation and reduced ripple on fast switching power rails.
• High ripple-current handling: Specified ripple ratings (160 mA @ 120 Hz, 1.6 A @ 300 kHz) enable use in both line-frequency smoothing and high-frequency converter outputs.
• Proven high‑temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C under rated voltage provides documented durability for demanding thermal environments.
• Reflow-ready SMD format: Embossed carrier taping and 260°C peak reflow compatibility streamline pick-and-place assembly and rework processes.
• Compact footprint: φ8 × 8.7 mm can with a recommended land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm balances capacitance and board-space efficiency for dense layouts.
• Manufacturer traceability: Part of Nichicon’s RKS series with datasheet-defined test conditions and endurance characteristics.
