RPS1C271MCN1GS

The RPS1C271MCN1GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD radial can package. It delivers 270 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low ESR and high ripple current capability for general-purpose electronic applications.

Designed for compact board-level power conditioning, the device combines a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C to provide stable performance in systems that require robust decoupling and filtering.

Key Features

• Core Type Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for improved ESR and ripple performance compared with conventional wet electrolytes.
• Capacitance & Tolerance 270 µF nominal with tolerance −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Voltage Rating 16 V rated voltage suitable for a range of low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR ESR of 14 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency decoupling.
• High Ripple Current Low-frequency ripple current 440 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 4.4 A (300 kHz), supporting demanding AC load conditions.
• Loss Tangent tanδ = 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz), providing predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current Rated leakage current 864 µA after 2 minutes at 20°C.
• Thermal and Endurance Operating temperature −55°C to 105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Board Footprint SMD radial can, size φ8 × 11.7 mm (L: 1.17 × D: 0.8 cm) with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing for assembly.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power conditioning — Suited for board-level decoupling and bulk filtering where low ESR and high ripple handling are required.
• High-frequency power rails — The 14 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 4.4 A ripple current rating support high-frequency decoupling tasks in compact designs.
• Industrial and embedded electronics — Wide temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C make it appropriate for long-life general-purpose circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for tighter voltage regulation: 14 mΩ (20°C/100 kHz) helps reduce ripple voltage and improve transient response on power rails.
• High ripple capability across frequencies: Rated ripple currents of 440 mA (120 Hz) and 4.4 A (300 kHz) enable both low- and high-frequency AC handling without excessive heating.
• Compact SMD radial can: φ8 × 11.7 mm form factor and standard embossed carrier tape packaging support automated placement in space-constrained layouts.
• Robust temperature and endurance profile: −55°C to 105°C operating range with 2000 hours rated life at 105°C supports reliable long-term operation in harsh environments.
• Predictable dissipation and leakage: tanδ = 0.12 and specified leakage current provide clear electrical behavior for power-supply designers.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directives for modern manufacturing processes.
