LKS1E273MESC

The LKS1E273MESC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and general‑purpose board‑level use. It delivers high bulk capacitance in a compact radial can package intended to improve tone quality when replacing smaller standard capacitors.

This RoHS‑compliant unit provides a combination of large capacitance (27 mF), a 25 V rated voltage, and board‑mountable snap‑in terminals, making it suitable for designers seeking reliable power‑filtering and DC smoothing in audio and electronic applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated capacitance 27 mF (27,000 μF) at 25 V for substantial bulk energy storage and smoothing in low‑voltage circuits.
• Tolerance — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), enabling predictable selection for design margins.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package for secure board retention and simplified assembly in through‑hole designs.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +85°C, supporting a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current 4.2 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and decoupling where significant AC ripple is present.
• Reliability — Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage; leakage and tan δ limits defined per datasheet endurance requirements.
• Polarized — Polarized electrolytic design for correct polarity DC service.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Form Factor — Compact dimensions (L: 4 × D: 3.5 cm) to fit smaller audio and electronic assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Replacement in audio signal chains and power supplies to improve tone quality by upgrading from smaller standard capacitors.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Board‑level filtering and bulk capacitance in consumer and professional electronic devices.
• Power Supply Smoothing — DC rail smoothing and ripple reduction where a high capacitance at 25 V is required.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance at 25 V: 27 mF provides substantial reserve charge for smoothing and low‑frequency decoupling in compact assemblies.
• Designed for audio improvements: Specified as smaller and higher‑tone quality compared with the LKG TYPE‑1 grade, enabling audible performance gains when used as a replacement.
• Snap‑in radial package: Secure mechanical retention and straightforward through‑hole mounting reduce assembly complexity for PCB designers.
• Defined endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage gives a clear reliability baseline for thermal and lifetime planning.
• Solid ripple capability: 4.2 A ripple rating at 120 Hz supports power stages with moderate AC stress without immediate degradation.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances, supporting regulatory compliance in assemblies.
