LKS1H392MESA

The LKS1H392MESA is a Nichicon LKS‑series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor optimized for general‑purpose and audio equipment applications. It provides 3.9 mF (3900 µF) capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact φ25 × 30 mm can with snap‑in terminals and tray packing.

Key value comes from its combination of high ripple handling (2.3 A at 120 Hz), polarized snap‑in mounting for secure board retention, and a rated operating range of −40 °C to +85 °C with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.9 mF (3900 µF) nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 2.3 A (2300 mA) at 120 Hz for effective smoothing and filtering in power applications.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1320 µA, supporting predictable DC behavior in polarized circuits.
• Thermal and Endurance — Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C with a lifetime rated to 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal type in a radial can (φ25 × 30 mm) designed for secure through‑hole board installation; supplied in tray packing.
• Series Characteristics — Part of the Nichicon LKS series, designed for smaller‑sized, audio‑oriented applications and compliant with RoHS requirements.
• Polarized Device — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC filtering and energy storage tasks.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Used for power supply smoothing and decoupling in audio amplifiers and related audio circuitry where the LKS series is specified for smaller, audio‑grade installations.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk filtering and ripple reduction in mid‑voltage DC power rails up to 50 V, leveraging the 2.3 A ripple rating.
• General Purpose Electronics — Reliable polarized capacitance for consumer and industrial designs requiring compact board‑mounted energy storage across −40 °C to +85 °C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: 2.3 A ripple rating at 120 Hz enables effective AC smoothing and reduces stress on downstream components.
• Compact snap‑in format: φ25 × 30 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals provides secure mechanical retention for through‑hole mounting without additional hardware.
• Designed for audio applications: Part of the LKS series with smaller‑sized construction intended for audio equipment use, supporting tone and signal stability when used as replacement or upgrade components.
• Wide operating range: −40 °C to +85 °C operation and 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C give predictable life performance in moderate temperature environments.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for lead‑free manufacturing environments.
• Tray packing: Supplied in trays for straightforward handling and assembly in production environments.
