Overview of LKS1H392MESA – Snap‑in 3.9 mF, 50 V Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
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.
