LKS1J822MESC

The LKS1J822MESC is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor designed for audio equipment and general‑purpose electronic applications. It combines a high capacitance of 8.2 mF with a 63 V rated voltage in a compact radial, can‑snap‑in package.

Engineered for improved tone quality when replacing smaller standard parts, this capacitor delivers reliable filtering and energy storage with a wide operating temperature range and defined endurance characteristics.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 8.2 mF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C); polarized design for DC filtering and energy storage.
• Rated Voltage — 63 V rating suitable for a variety of power supply and audio circuit topologies.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 4.05 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing in power applications.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Leakage Current — After 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, leakage current is specified as not more than 3√CV (µA) [C in µF, V in V].
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package for secure mechanical mounting and straightforward PCB installation; physical size L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Use in amplifier power stages and audio filtering where higher capacitance can improve perceived tone quality compared with smaller standard parts.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk storage and smoothing in DC power rails for consumer and professional electronics.
• OEM Electronic Assemblies — Snap‑in mounting simplifies assembly for manufacturers building compact, high‑capacitance subsystems.

Unique Advantages

• Tone‑quality improvement: Specifically described for audio equipment replacement to deliver a noticeable improvement when upsizing from smaller standard capacitors.
• High capacitance in a compact can: 8.2 mF in a 3.5 × 3.5 cm package provides substantial energy storage without requiring excessive board area.
• Robust ripple capability: 4.05 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports demanding smoothing requirements in power stages.
• Designed for durability: Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage defines expected stability under elevated temperature stress.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for restricted substances, facilitating regulatory compliance in product builds.
