LKS1K272MESZ

The LKS1K272MESZ is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKS series, designed for smaller-sized assemblies and audio equipment. It delivers 2700 µF capacitance at an 80 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can for robust board mounting and general-purpose power applications.

Key value comes from its high capacitance at elevated voltage, a 1000‑hour endurance at 85°C, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for engineers seeking compact, high-voltage electrolytic bulk capacitance with proven endurance characteristics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) rated at 80 V with tolerance ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (φ22×45 mm) suitable for secure, through‑hole board installation; tray packing.
• Electrical Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current 2.7 A (120 Hz), tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.25 measured at 20°C/120 Hz, and leakage current specified at 1390 µA.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C; endurance specifications require capacitance within ±20% after life test and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +85°C, matching a wide range of ambient conditions.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to RoHS directive, reflecting environmental conformance noted in the series documentation.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — For smaller‑sized audio systems where the LKS series is specified to improve tone quality and provide compact high‑voltage bulk capacitance.
• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in general-purpose assemblies that require a polarized snap‑in electrolytic with an 80 V rating.
• Power Assembly Mounting — Designs that require secure snap‑in mounting and tray packing for through‑hole assembly workflows.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage bulk capacitance: 2700 µF at 80 V provides substantial energy storage for higher‑voltage circuits without large footprint increases.
• Designed for compact audio systems: Part of the LKS series described as smaller‑sized for audio equipment, offering an option where tone quality and size matter.
• Robust ripple handling: 2.7 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports filtering and smoothing duties in power stages.
• Endurance validated: 1000 hours at 85°C endurance rating ensures predictable performance over specified life conditions.
• Board retention and handling: Snap‑in radial can package enables secure mounting and efficient assembly using tray packing.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports use in designs targeting restricted‑substance requirements.
