Key electrical and reliability characteristics include a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 2.85 A (120 Hz), a specified tanδ of 0.3 at 20 °C/120 Hz, a rated operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, and an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C. This part is RoHS‑compliant and is supplied in tray packing. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 mF (5600 µF) rated at 50 V, providing significant energy storage for power smoothing and reservoir applications.
• Audio‑Focused Design — Part of the LKG series designed for audio equipment; intended to support high‑fidelity sound applications as noted in the series description.
• Ripple Handling & Loss — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 2.85 A at 120 Hz and a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified as 0.3 (20 °C, 120 Hz) for predictable AC performance.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1580 µA, enabling predictable standby and no‑load behavior after application of rated voltage.
• Reliability & Endurance — Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ and leakage current after test.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can (φ35 × 25 mm) for secure board installation and compact footprint; supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant per product data.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment power filtering — Acts as a bulk reservoir and smoothing capacitor in audio amplifier power supplies where 5600 µF at 50 V and 2.85 A ripple capability are required.
• Professional and consumer audio gear — Suited to high‑fidelity audio circuits that benefit from the LKG series' audio‑oriented design and stable performance across −40 °C to +85 °C.
• Power supply decoupling in audio systems — Provides dependable decoupling and energy storage for transient load support given its high capacitance and specified ripple current rating.
