LKS1H392MESC

The LKS1H392MESC is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and general-purpose applications. It is a smaller-sized, polarized radial can with snap-in mounting that is intended to offer a tone-quality improvement when replacing a small standard product.

Key electrical and reliability characteristics include a rated capacitance of 3.9 mF at 50 V, ±20% tolerance, RoHS compliance, an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, and a specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C.

Key Features

• Core Electrical — Rated capacitance 3.9 mF and rated voltage 50 V with a tolerance of ±20% for bulk energy storage and filtering.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can-type snap-in package with snap-in terminals for secure board retention and ease of assembly.
• Audio‑Oriented Design — Marketed specifically for audio equipment; recommended as a replacement from small standard products to help improve tone quality in audio circuits.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 2.3 A at 120 Hz to support power filtering in low-frequency audio power supplies.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating range −40°C to +85°C and endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C to address long-term performance under elevated temperature conditions.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Replacement and upgrade use in audio power stages and signal chains to improve perceived tone quality.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in low-frequency power supplies where snap-in mounting is preferred.
• General Purpose Electronics — Polarized capacitor for general-purpose filtering and energy storage in consumer and professional equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused specification: Presented specifically for audio equipment, enabling targeted replacement of small standard parts to influence tone quality.
• Snap-in convenience: Snap-in terminals provide robust board retention and simplified assembly for through-hole production environments.
