Overview of RPS1C102MCN1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic SMD Capacitor, 16 V, 1000 µF
The RPS1C102MCN1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount (SMD) can package. It provides 1000 µF capacitance at 16 V with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple-current capability for general-purpose electronic power applications.
Its combination of low ESR (12 mΩ at 20°C / 100 kHz), robust ripple handling (540 mA at 120 Hz; 5.4 A at 300 kHz), and a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) makes it a compact option for demanding decoupling and bulk-filtering roles on modern PCBs.
Key Features
- Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte providing stable capacitance and low loss characteristics in a compact SMD can (φ10 × 12.4 mm).
- Capacitance & Tolerance 1000 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance −20% to +20% measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
- Low ESR ESR 12 mΩ at 20°C / 100 kHz for improved voltage stability and transient response in power circuits.
- High Ripple Current Rated low-frequency ripple current 540 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple 5.4 A at 300 kHz to support switching converters and high-frequency decoupling.
- Temperature & Endurance Operating range −55°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C.
- Package & Assembly Surface-mount radial can (SMD) in φ10 × 12.4L size with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated placement.
- Regulatory RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Power-supply bulk filtering Use as a compact bulk capacitor where 1000 µF capacitance and low ESR (12 mΩ) help stabilize DC rails and reduce voltage ripple.
- Switching regulator output decoupling Suitable for DC–DC converter outputs that require high ripple-current handling (up to 5.4 A at 300 kHz) and low-loss performance.
- Point-of-load smoothing Ideal for smoothing transient currents at local power nodes in embedded and general-purpose electronic systems.
- General-purpose electronics Specified for broad use in general-purpose circuits requiring a robust SMD capacitor with extended temperature range (−55°C to 105°C).
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for better transient response: 12 mΩ ESR (20°C / 100 kHz) reduces voltage drop and improves stability under fast load changes.
- High ripple capability across frequencies: Rated ripple currents of 540 mA (120 Hz) and 5.4 A (300 kHz) support both low- and high-frequency switching applications.
- Compact SMD can footprint: φ10 × 12.4 mm package delivers 1000 µF in a small board area for space-constrained designs.
- Wide operating temperature and defined life: −55°C to 105°C rating with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable performance in elevated-temperature environments.
- Manufacturing-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing facilitate automated assembly and handling.
- RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
