LKS1E682MESB

The LKS1E682MESB is a snap‑in terminal, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKS series, specifically intended for audio equipment and general‑purpose electronics. It provides 6.8 mF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a compact radial can snap‑in package.

Designed to offer a smaller footprint while delivering improved tone characteristics when used as a replacement for small standard parts, the LKS1E682MESB is RoHS compliant and tailored for applications requiring reliable performance across −40 °C to +85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6.8 mF (6800 μF) nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage for energy storage and decoupling where polarized electrolytics are required.
• Snap‑in Radial Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in mounting simplifies board insertion and secure mechanical retention in chassis or PCB assemblies.
• Compact Dimensions — Size: 30 × 20 mm (φD × L) / 3.0 cm × 2.0 cm, offering a smaller-sized option within the LKS series for space‑constrained designs.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85 °C when operated at rated voltage.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 1.95 A at 120 Hz to support power smoothing in relevant low‑frequency applications.
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20 °C); polarized construction typical of aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting common environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Intended for audio applications where replacement from small standard capacitors can yield a measurable tone quality effect.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Suitable for general‑purpose circuits that require a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with snap‑in mounting and higher capacitance.
• Chassis/Panel Mounted Modules — Snap‑in radial can package supports applications needing secure mechanical retention in assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused design — Part of the LKS series described as "smaller and high‑tone quality" compared with LKG TYPE‑1 grade, making it appropriate for tone‑sensitive replacements.
• Space‑efficient form factor — 30 × 20 mm dimensions provide a compact footprint for boards and enclosures with limited area.
• Durability under load — Endurance rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after the endurance test.
• Reliable ripple capability — 1.95 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports smoothing duties at low frequencies.
• Regulatory alignment — RoHS‑compliant materials support environmental regulatory requirements.
