Overview of RPS1C471MCN1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor
The RPS1C471MCN1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 470 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It delivers low ESR and high ripple current in a compact φ10 × 12.4 mm can-style SMD package for general-purpose electronic designs.
Designed for surface-mount assembly, the part supports lead-free reflow soldering and is supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing. Typical use cases include general-purpose power filtering and energy-storage applications where low-loss, high-ripple performance and wide temperature operation are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Low ESR — ESR specified at 9 mΩ measured at 20°C and 100 kHz (measurement at terminal ends), minimizing voltage drop under high-frequency ripple.
- High Ripple Current — Rated ripple capability of 610 mA at 120 Hz and 6.1 A at 300 kHz for demanding AC stress conditions.
- Loss Angle (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient energy transfer with low dielectric loss.
- Reliability / Lifetime — Endurance rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage conditions.
- Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C.
- Package & Mounting — φ10 × 12.4 mm radial-style SMD can; surface-mount land size L: 10.3 mm × W: 10.3 mm per series dimensions. Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing.
- Polarized — Designed for polarized applications with standard electrolytic polarity.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements as indicated in product data.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and low ESR to smooth supply rails and reduce voltage ripple in power electronics.
- Switching regulator output capacitors — High ripple current capability (up to 6.1 A at 300 kHz) supports switching converter outputs in compact SMD form.
- Decoupling and energy storage — 470 µF capacitance and low loss (tanδ = 0.12) make the part suitable where local energy reserve and transient suppression are needed.
Unique Advantages
- Low-loss performance: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tanδ = 0.12 reduce dissipation and heat generation under high-frequency load.
- High-frequency ripple capability: Rated ripple up to 6.1 A at 300 kHz enables use in high-switching-frequency converters and power stages.
- Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +105°C rating supports designs across varied thermal environments.
- SMD convenience with moisture protection: Surface-mount can package supplied on embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly and storage.
- Documented endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage provides an established reliability metric for thermal stress planning.
