LKS1J822MESB

The LKS1J822MESB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in, radial can package designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic use. It delivers 8.2 mF (8200 μF) capacitance at a 63 V rating in a compact, smaller-sized form factor from Nichicon's LKS series.

Designed to improve tone quality when replacing smaller standard capacitors, the LKS1J822MESB combines robust ripple handling and a practical temperature/endurance profile while meeting RoHS requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 8.2 mF (8200 μF) nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting provides secure mechanical retention for chassis or PCB assemblies and a standard radial can footprint.
• Audio-Focused Performance — Specified as “for audio equipment” and described as smaller-sized with an effect on tone quality improvement when replacing small standard parts.
• Operating Range & Endurance — Rated for −40°C to +85°C with a guaranteed endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C after which capacitance, tan δ and leakage remain within the LKS series endurance limits.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 4.05 A at 120 Hz to support AC ripple smoothing in power circuits (measurement frequency noted at 120 Hz).
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current after 5 minutes at 20°C is specified as not more than 3√(C·V) μA (where C is μF and V is voltage), per the LKS series datasheet.
• Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Replacement or upgrade in audio power supplies and filtering stages where improved tone characteristics are desired.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in electronic systems that accept a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic solution.
• Industrial and Consumer Electronics — Use in designs requiring a polarized electrolytic with secure snap‑in mounting and RoHS compliance.

Unique Advantages

• Tone Quality Improvement: Marketed specifically for audio equipment with documented benefit when replacing smaller standard products.
• High Ripple Handling: 4.05 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports robust filtering in power supply applications.
• Compact Footprint: Smaller-sized LKS series design in a radial, snap‑in can—physical dimensions listed as L: 4.5 × D: 3 cm with a seated height of 1.772 inch.
• Wide Temperature Range and Endurance: −40°C to +85°C operating range with 1000 hours endurance at 85°C per the LKS series specification.
• Predictable Leakage Behavior: Leakage current bounded by the datasheet formula (≤ 3√CV μA after 5 minutes at 20°C) for predictable power loss budgeting.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for lead‑free design and regulatory alignment.
