LKS1H472MESB

The LKS1H472MESB is a snap-in, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic use. It provides 4.7 mF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a smaller-sized snap-in can package intended for replacement or upgrade from small standard products to improve tone quality.

Key electrical and mechanical characteristics include a 4.7 mF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 2.55 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz, an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, and a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C. The part is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Core Type – Aluminum Electrolytic (Polarized) Polarized construction suitable for applications requiring bulk capacitance and energy storage; specified leakage performance follows datasheet criteria.
• Capacitance & Voltage 4.7 mF rated capacitance at 50 V with ±20% tolerance for predictable filtering and decoupling behavior.
• Package & Mounting Radial, snap-in can package engineered for snap-in terminal mounting to PCB assemblies and compact placements.
• Ripple Current Rated ripple current of 2.55 A at 120 Hz, enabling handling of AC ripple in power and audio circuits.
• Temperature & Endurance Specified for −40 °C to +85 °C operation with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C when operated at rated voltage.
• Regulatory Compliance Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting environmentally regulated designs.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Acts as an upgrade or replacement capacitor to help improve perceived tone quality when substituted for smaller standard parts in audio signal and power stages.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in consumer and industrial circuits where snap-in mountings are preferred.
• OEM Replacements and Retrofits — Smaller-sized snap-in form factor simplifies retrofitting older designs or replacing cramped standard capacitors with minimal layout changes.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio improvement: Specified as smaller-sized and intended to provide a tone-quality improvement when replacing small standard products.
• Compact snap-in form: Smaller-sized radial can with snap-in terminals enables denser board layouts and easier assembly for through-hole designs.
• High ripple capability: 2.55 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports demanding AC ripple conditions in power and audio circuits.
• Wide operating range and proven endurance: −40 °C to +85 °C operation and 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C give predictable lifetime behavior under rated conditions.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance helps meet environmental requirements in product assemblies.
