Overview of RSA1C101MCN1GS – 100 µF, 16 V Conductive Polymer Aluminum SMD Capacitor
The RSA1C101MCN1GS is a Nichicon RSA-series conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package (φ6.3×7.7 mm). It provides 100 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for general-purpose electronic designs.
Designed for reliability in compact SMD assemblies, the part offers a rated operating range of -55°C to 105°C, a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, RoHS compliance, and compatibility with lead-free reflow soldering (260°C peak). The device is in mass production.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of -20% to +20% at 20°C, 120 Hz.
- Low Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for stable dissipation behavior.
- Low ESR — ESR specified at 24 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance.
- High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current values of 270 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.7 A at 300 kHz (high frequency) to handle dynamic load conditions.
- Leakage and Endurance — Leakage current specified at 700 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C) and endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
- Package and Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ6.3×7.7 mm) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly; recommended land size L: 6.5 × W: 6.5 mm.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (per datasheet statement).
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronics — Provides bulk capacitance and low ESR for general-purpose smoothing and decoupling in compact SMD assemblies.
- Power module support — Suited for applications requiring elevated ripple-current capability (2.7 A at high frequency) and stable performance across -55°C to 105°C.
- High-frequency circuits — Low ESR at 100 kHz and a tanδ of 0.12 help maintain performance in circuits operating at higher switching frequencies.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced electrical performance — 100 µF at 16 V combined with 24 mΩ ESR (20°C/100 kHz) delivers a compact balance of capacitance and low impedance for SMD designs.
- High ripple handling — Rated ripple currents of 270 mA (120 Hz) and 2.7 A (300 kHz) support both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
- Extended high-temperature life — 2000-hour endurance at 105°C provides long-term stability for thermally demanding applications.
- Assembly-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies pick-and-place and storage for production lines.
- RoHS-compliant material set — Conforms to RoHS requirements as stated in the product documentation.
