LKS1J562MESA

The LKS1J562MESA is a Nichicon LKS series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor providing 5600 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating. Designed for smaller-sized audio equipment and general-purpose power applications, it delivers high capacitance in a compact snap-in can package.

Key design attributes include a 3.3 A low-frequency ripple current capability (120 Hz), a loss tangent (tanδ) of 0.30 measured at 20°C/120 Hz, and RoHS compliance. The part is supplied in tray packing and carries an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 5600 µF nominal capacitance at a 63 V rating provides bulk energy storage for smoothing and filtering duties.
• Performance (Ripple & Loss): Low-frequency ripple current of 3.3 A (120 Hz) and tanδ = 0.30 (20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable AC performance in power circuits.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1780 µA for predictable standby and quiescent behavior.
• Reliability & Endurance: Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C with specified limits on capacitance change and leakage after the endurance test.
• Operating Temperature Range: −40°C to +85°C to support a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Package & Mounting: Snap-in, radial can (φ25 × 45 mm) intended for secure board mounting and high-density assemblies; supplied in tray packing for handling.
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment: Bulk smoothing and decoupling in smaller-sized audio power supplies where high capacitance and stable low-frequency performance support tonal quality.
• Power Supply Filtering: Energy reservoir and ripple filtering for linear and switching power supplies in industrial and consumer electronics.
• General-Purpose Electronics: DC link, energy storage, and smoothing applications across general-purpose electronic systems that require polarized electrolytic capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Can: 5600 µF in a φ25 × 45 mm snap-in package provides substantial bulk storage while minimizing board footprint.
• Designed for Low-Frequency Ripple: 3.3 A ripple rating at 120 Hz supports applications with significant AC ripple components.
• Measurable AC Loss Characteristics: tanδ = 0.30 at 20°C/120 Hz gives designers a clear parameter for loss budgeting and thermal considerations.
• Endurance-Qualified: 1000 hours at 85°C provides an explicit life expectancy for thermal stress planning and reliability assessments.
• Packaged for Production: Tray packing facilitates automated handling and assembly integration.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for materials and environmental compliance.

Why Choose LKS1J562MESA?
