RSS1C101MCN1GS

The RSS1C101MCN1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s RSS series, delivered in a compact φ6.3×5.7 mm can-style SMD package. It is specified for general-purpose applications and combines low ESR, high ripple-current capability, and wide operating temperature range to support reliable power-decoupling and bulk capacitance in compact boards.

Key performance attributes include 100 µF capacitance at 16 V, ESR of 24 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, a rated high-frequency ripple current of 2.49 A (300 kHz), and an operational temperature range of −55°C to +105°C with a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & tolerance: 100 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Voltage rating: Rated for 16 V operation.
• Low ESR: 24 mΩ ESR measured at 20°C/100 kHz for reduced loss and improved high-frequency performance.
• High ripple-current capability: Low-frequency ripple current 249 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2.49 A (300 kHz) to handle demanding AC stress.
• Leakage current: Specified leakage current of 700 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C).
• Robust temperature and lifetime: Operating range −55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact SMD package: Can-style SMD, dimension φ6.3 × 5.7 mm, surface-mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm for space-constrained layouts.
• Manufacturing readiness: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; mass production status.
• Compliance and assembly: RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (260°C peak condition specified in series datasheet).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose decoupling: Bulk and decoupling capacitance where stable capacitance and controlled leakage are required in SMD form factors.
• High-frequency power rails: Circuits requiring low ESR and high ripple-current handling at high frequencies (specifically characterized at 100 kHz and up to 300 kHz).
• Compact SMD designs: Small footprint power and filter networks on space-constrained PCBs that need a can-style SMD capacitor.

Unique Advantages

• Reduced loss at high frequency: 24 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes impedance-related losses for high-frequency applications.
• High ripple current capability: Rated for 2.49 A at 300 kHz, supporting higher AC currents without excessive heating.
• Wide temperature endurance: −55°C to +105°C rating and 2000 hours at 105°C provide long-term stability under thermal stress.
• Compact SMD packaging: φ6.3×5.7 mm package and defined land pattern enable dense PCB placement and consistent assembly.
• Production-ready packaging: Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing to support automated assembly flows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant and designed for lead-free reflow processes to match modern manufacturing requirements.
