RSS1D680MCN1GS

The RSS1D680MCN1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s RSS series, offering 68 µF capacitance at a 20 V rating. Engineered for applications that demand low ESR and high ripple handling in a compact φ6.3 × 5.7 mm SMD can, it delivers stable performance across a wide temperature range.

With a rated operating range of −55 °C to 105 °C and a 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C, this part is intended for general-purpose power applications where reliable decoupling, smoothing and high-frequency ripple absorption are required in space-constrained PCB designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 20 V rated voltage; capacitance tolerance −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low ESR — ESR of 25 mΩ measured at 20 °C / 100 kHz, enabling reduced voltage ripple and improved power delivery for high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current — High-frequency ripple current rating of 2.8 A (at 300 kHz) and low-frequency ripple current of 280 mA (at 120 Hz), supporting demanding load conditions.
• Solid Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Polymer construction provides low loss (tan δ = 0.12 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and stable electrical characteristics over temperature.
• Thermal and Endurance — Rated for −55 °C to 105 °C operating temperature and a load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C and rated voltage.
• Compact SMD Can — Small footprint (φ6.3 × 5.7 mm) and surface-mount package (radial can - SMD) for compact PCB layouts; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for assembly.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 272 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20 °C), useful for budgeting standby and leakage budgets in power designs.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead-free designs.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering — Use where low ESR and high ripple current handling are required to smooth switching regulator outputs and reduce output ripple.
• Decoupling at Point of Load — Compact SMD can suits tight board real estate for local energy storage and high-frequency decoupling near power ICs.
• General-Purpose Power Modules — Appropriate for general-purpose assemblies that demand stable capacitance across −55 °C to 105 °C and robust ripple performance.

Unique Advantages

• Reduced Voltage Ripple: Low ESR (25 mΩ at 100 kHz) minimizes losses and voltage fluctuation under high-frequency currents.
• Handles High Ripple Loads: High-frequency ripple rating of 2.8 A supports aggressive load transients and high-current switching environments.
• Compact Footprint: φ6.3 × 5.7 mm SMD can enables capacitance density in space-constrained designs while simplifying PCB layout.
• Long High-Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable aging and lifecycle planning for thermally demanding applications.
• Measured, Predictable Performance: Specified tan δ (0.12 at 20 °C/120 Hz) and leakage (272 µA) allow accurate design margins for power and standby budgets.
• Assembly-Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing supports automated SMD assembly and storage requirements.
