LKS1J562MESB

The LKS1J562MESB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in radial can designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic applications. It offers a 5.6 mF capacitance at a 63 V rating in a smaller-sized snap-in package intended as an upgrade or replacement to improve tone quality in audio circuits.

Engineered to operate over a −40°C to 85°C range with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C, this RoHS-compliant component provides designers with predictable endurance and a clear ripple-current specification for low-frequency applications.

Key Features

• Core Type: Aluminum electrolytic capacitor – delivers high capacitance in a compact cylindrical can for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Capacitance & Voltage: 5.6 mF (5600 μF) rated at 63 V for applications requiring substantial charge storage at mid-range voltages.
• Tolerance & Polarization: ±20% capacitance tolerance and polarized construction; suitable for circuits that accept polarized electrolytic capacitors.
• Package & Mounting: Snap-in, radial can package – designed for secure PCB mounting and straightforward assembly in chassis-mounted audio equipment.
• Temperature & Lifetime: Rated operating range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Ripple Current: Specified low-frequency ripple capability of 3.3 A at 120 Hz, allowing for defined performance under AC ripple conditions.
• Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current meets the datasheet criterion of not more than 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C.
• Regulatory Compliance: Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863), supporting environmentally constrained designs.
• Compact Dimensions: Radial can, snap-in package with approximate dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 3 cm and a maximum seated height of 1.378 inch for space-conscious layouts.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment: Used in amplifier and audio power stages as an upgrade/replacement to improve perceived tone quality compared to smaller standard capacitors.
• General-Purpose Electronic Equipment: Bulk energy storage and smoothing in consumer and industrial electronics that accept polarized electrolytic capacitors.
• Component Upgrades and Replacements: Direct replacement for smaller standard parts where increased capacitance or improved audio characteristics are desired.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance at Mid-Voltage: 5.6 mF at 63 V provides substantial energy storage for circuits needing larger bulk capacitance without moving to larger form factors.
• Snap-in Mounting: Radial snap-in can simplifies mechanical assembly and secures the capacitor in chassis-mounted or PCB applications.
• Designed for Audio Upgrades: Marketed specifically for audio equipment and noted for tone-quality improvement when replacing smaller standard parts.
• Predictable Endurance: 1000 hours rated lifetime at 85°C with clear end-of-life electrical criteria for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage current.
• Clear Leakage Specification: Leakage current controlled to the datasheet formula (3√CV μA) after voltage application, enabling predictable bias behavior in designs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs subject to environmental regulations.

Why Choose LKS1J562MESB?

The LKS1J562MESB positions itself as a compact, mid-voltage electrolytic solution tailored for audio and general-purpose electronics where higher capacitance and defined ripple capability are required. Its snap-in radial can package and RoHS compliance make it suitable for designers seeking a replace-and-upgrade component with documented endurance and leakage specifications.

This part is ideal for engineers updating existing audio circuits or integrating a higher-capacitance, mid-voltage bulk capacitor into new designs that must meet operating requirements from −40°C to +85°C and a 1000-hour endurance point at elevated temperature.
