LKS1K332MESC

The LKS1K332MESC from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKS series, engineered for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic use. This smaller-sized radial can snap-in capacitor delivers 3.3 mF (3300 μF) capacitance at 80 V with a polarized construction and RoHS compliance.

Designed for applications where higher capacitance and reliable endurance are needed, the LKS1K332MESC pairs a compact snap-in package with specified ripple current capability and a defined operating temperature range for predictable performance in deployed systems.

Key Features

• Package Snap-in terminal; radial can — designed for snap-in PCB mounting in compact assemblies.
• Capacitance & Voltage 3.3 mF (3300 μF) rated at 80 V, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (−20% to +20%).
• Electrical Performance Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction with a specified low-frequency ripple current of 3 A at 120 Hz.
• Temperature Range Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C, suitable for a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Endurance Rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage conditions.
• Size Compact dimensions: L: 2.5 × D: 3.5 cm (length × diameter).
• Regulatory Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment Intended for use in audio equipment; replacing smaller standard capacitors can produce an effect on tone quality as part of system tuning.
• General-purpose Circuits Suitable for general-purpose electronic applications that require a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with the specified capacitance and voltage.
• Power Supply and Filtering (General Use) Applicable where a high-capacitance, snap-in electrolytic capacitor is required for smoothing or bulk energy storage in non-specified specialty environments.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact snap-in can: 3.3 mF at 80 V provides substantial energy storage while using a smaller-sized radial snap-in package.
• Rated ripple capability specified: 3 A at 120 Hz gives a clear electrical parameter for low-frequency ripple handling.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +85°C supports deployment across common environmental conditions.
• Defined endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage gives a measurable reliability baseline for design planning.
• RoHS compliant: Meets EU RoHS requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.
• Audio-focused design intent: Part of the LKS series described for audio equipment use and tone-quality improvement when used as a replacement for smaller standard parts.
