RPS1C151MCN1GS

The RPS1C151MCN1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s RPS series. It delivers 150 µF at 16 V in a compact φ10 × 7.7 mm can package, optimized for general-purpose electronic applications that demand low ESR and high ripple current capability.

Engineered for board-level integration, this device combines a wide operating temperature range (‑55°C to 105°C) and a 2000 hour endurance rating at 105°C to support reliable, long-life operation in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with tolerance of ‑20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — ESR specified at 30 mΩ (20°C / 100 kHz) to reduce AC losses and improve high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple currents of 320 mA at 120 Hz and 3.2 A at 300 kHz, with frequency coefficients of 1.00 at 100 kHz and 300 kHz for sustained high-frequency operation.
• Loss Angle — tan δ = 0.1 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable AC behavior.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 480 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C), supporting stable bias performance.
• Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage, meeting series endurance criteria for long-term reliability.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from ‑55°C to 105°C for use across varied thermal environments.
• Compact SMD Can — φ10 × 7.7 mm radial can in an SMD package with surface-mount land size L: 1.03 cm × W: 1.03 cm for compact PCB layouts.
• Reflow Compatibility & Packaging — SMD type compatible with lead-free reflow peak at 260°C; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Suitable for a wide range of board-level applications designated as "General Purpose" where low ESR and reliable ripple handling are required.
• Power management modules — Compact SMD can and high ripple-current capability support use in localized power filtering on power supply boards.
• High-frequency circuits — Low ESR at 100 kHz and rated ripple coefficients to 300 kHz make it appropriate for high-frequency decoupling tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Low AC loss — 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heat generation and improves efficiency in AC and switching environments.
• High ripple handling — 3.2 A ripple current rating at 300 kHz supports demanding switching regulator and converter applications.
• Compact footprint — φ10 × 7.7 mm package offers a small PCB footprint for tight layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
• Robust thermal performance — −55°C to 105°C operating range and 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provide predictable behavior over extended service life.
• Manufacturing-friendly — Lead-free reflow compatibility to 260°C and embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing streamline automated assembly and handling.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction supports environmental and regulatory requirements.
