LKS1K562MESB

The LKS1K562MESB is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKS series, offering 5600 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 80 V. Designed as a smaller-sized snap-in terminal type, it is suitable for general-purpose power filtering and audio equipment applications where large capacitance and secure chassis mounting are required.

Key value comes from its high capacitance and 80 V rating combined with a robust ripple current rating and a broad operating temperature range, providing reliable bulk energy storage and smoothing in mid-voltage power systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5600 µF (5.6 mF) nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and tolerance of -20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Low-frequency ripple handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 3.95 A at 120 Hz, supporting power-supply ripple damping in mid-power designs.
• Dielectric loss (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.25 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable AC-loss behavior in audio and power circuits.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 2000 µA, measured per product test conditions.
• Temperature and endurance — Operating range from -40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C, providing defined lifetime expectations under elevated temperature stress.
• Package & mounting — Radial, can-style snap-in package (snap-in terminals) with size φ30 × 45 mm (L: 4.5 × D: 3 cm) and tray packing for board-level assembly and secure mechanical mounting.
• Environmental — RoHS-compliant construction as part of the LKS series.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Bulk filtering and power-supply smoothing in audio amplifiers and related equipment where the LKS series' smaller-sized snap-in design is specified.
• Power supplies — Energy storage and ripple reduction in mid-voltage DC power supplies that require 80 V rated capacitors with multi-millifarad capacitance.
• Industrial control — Bulk decoupling and smoothing for control circuitry and power rails in general-purpose industrial electronics operating within the specified temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance at mid voltage: 5600 µF at 80 V provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and hold-up in power circuits.
• Robust ripple capability: 3.95 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz enables effective AC ripple handling in transformer-rectifier and linear-regulator applications.
• Snap-in mounting for secure installation: Radial, can-style snap-in package offers reliable mechanical retention for chassis- or PCB-mounted power modules.
• Defined endurance specification: 1000 hours at 85°C gives a clear expectation of lifecycle under elevated-temperature conditions.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements, supporting environmental and regulatory needs for electronic assemblies.
