LKS1E562MESZ

The LKS1E562MESZ is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor designed for audio equipment and general purpose electronic applications. It combines a compact radial can snap‑in package with specifications tuned for tone‑quality improvement when replacing smaller standard parts.

Manufactured by Nichicon, this RoHS‑compliant capacitor delivers 5.6 mF capacitance at a 25 V rating and is optimized for board‑mounted snap‑in installations where compact size and reliable performance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical — Capacitance & Voltage: 5.6 mF (5600 μF) nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Mounting & Package: Snap‑in terminal, radial can package designed for secure PCB installation in board‑level audio and power circuits.
• Compact Dimensions: Package size L: 2.5 × D: 2.2 cm (part code indicates 22 × 25 mm body for this variant), providing a smaller profile compared with standard products in the series.
• Ripple Current: Rated ripple current of 1.65 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and decoupling in audio power supply sections.
• Temperature & Lifetime: Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Loss Characteristics & Leakage: Specified tan δ of 0.30 (measurement at 120 Hz, 20°C for this capacitance/voltage), and leakage current limited per datasheet formula (≤ 3√CV μA after 5 minutes at 20°C).
• Polarized Design: Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC power filtering and energy storage in polarized circuits.
• Environmental Compliance: Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment: Power supply smoothing and reservoir applications in amplifiers and audio signal chains where a compact, tone‑improving replacement is required.
• General Purpose Electronics: Decoupling and bulk energy storage in consumer and industrial electronic assemblies using snap‑in PCB mounting.
• Power Supply Sections: Filtering and ripple suppression in low‑voltage DC power rails where 25 V rating and 1.65 A ripple handling are appropriate.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio tonal improvement: Specified as a smaller, high‑tone quality option relative to standard parts, enabling upgrades in audio circuits without larger footprints.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: Radial can with snap‑in terminals provides secure PCB mounting while minimizing board space compared with larger can types.
• Rated ripple capacity: 1.65 A at 120 Hz supports effective ripple suppression for audio power supplies and decoupling tasks.
• Operational range and endurance: −40°C to +85°C operation and 1000 hours endurance at 85°C under rated voltage support reliable performance in typical commercial environments.
• Clear electrical limits: Defined tan δ and leakage current limits provide measurable parameters for circuit design and validation.
• RoHS compliance: Meets current RoHS directive requirements for use in regulated markets.
