LKS1H562MESB

The LKS1H562MESB is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKS series, designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic applications. It provides a 5.6 mF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact radial can snap-in package, engineered to deliver improved tone quality when used as a replacement for smaller standard capacitors.

Built for board-mounted use, the LKS1H562MESB combines polarized aluminum electrolytic performance with RoHS compliance and a specified ripple-handling capability for low-frequency power applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated at 5.6 mF with a 50 V working voltage and a tolerance of −20% to +20% to support bulk energy storage and smoothing in mid-voltage circuits.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal mounting for secure, on-board installation; packaged as a radial can suitable for vertical board mounting.
• Audio-focused Performance — Marketed for audio equipment with a smaller-sized profile to enable tone-quality improvement when replacing smaller standard parts.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.8 A at 120 Hz for handling low-frequency ripple in power-supply and audio applications.
• Operating Range & Lifetime — Specified to operate from −40°C to +85°C with a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Polarized Device — Polarized construction for correct orientation in DC power and audio circuits.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Used in audio power supplies and signal coupling where replacement with a compact, higher-tone-quality capacitor is desired.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in mid-voltage DC rails up to 50 V, leveraging the 5.6 mF capacitance and 2.8 A ripple rating at 120 Hz.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Board-mounted energy storage and decoupling for industrial and consumer equipment operating within −40°C to +85°C.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused design: Marketed specifically for audio equipment and promoted for tone-quality improvement when used as a replacement for smaller standard capacitors.
• High capacitance in a compact package: 5.6 mF value in a snap-in radial can provides substantial bulk storage while maintaining a smaller footprint for space-constrained boards.
• Robust ripple handling: Rated 2.8 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing of low-frequency ripple in power rails.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +85°C rating supports a broad range of environmental conditions common in audio and general-purpose electronics.
• Specified endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C gives a quantified lifetime expectation for thermal stress conditions.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements for restricted substances.
