LKS1K562MESC

The LKS1K562MESC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and general‑purpose electronic applications. It provides 5.6 mF capacitance at an 80 V rating in a compact radial, can‑snap‑in package intended as a smaller-sized, higher‑tone quality replacement for standard small capacitors.

Key advantages include a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C, and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for assemblies that require robust bulk capacitance with snap‑in board mounting.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 5.6 mF capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable where substantial bulk energy storage is required.
• Audio‑Focused Design: Snap‑in terminal type explicitly specified “for audio equipment, smaller‑sized” and noted to provide a tone quality improvement when replacing smaller standard parts.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, can – snap‑in package with snap‑in mounting for secure PCB retention and easy assembly in rack or chassis style power sections; nominal size L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm.
• Ripple Handling: Rated ripple current of 3.95 A at 120 Hz, supporting applications with moderate AC ripple on the DC rail.
• Temperature & Reliability: Operating range -40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20% and leakage current within initial specified limits after test.
• Polarized Electrolytic: Polar construction for DC applications where polarity is observed.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment: Replacement or upgrade in audio power supplies and signal circuits where the product’s smaller size and audio‑oriented design can contribute to tone‑quality improvements.
• General‑Purpose Electronic Equipment: Bulk capacitance for smoothing and energy storage in a wide range of electronic assemblies that accept snap‑in radial cans.
• PCB Snap‑in Assemblies: Systems and modules that require board‑mounted, mechanically robust capacitors with snap‑in terminals for assembly efficiency.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑oriented performance: Specified “for audio equipment” and described as smaller‑sized with an effect on tone quality when used as a replacement for standard small products.
• High bulk capacitance at elevated voltage: 5.6 mF at 80 V provides significant energy storage in a single component for DC rail stabilization.
• Robust ripple capability: 3.95 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz enables handling of moderate AC ripple in power supply applications.
• Designed for reliability: Endurance specified to meet capacitor characteristic limits after 1000 hours at 85 °C, supporting predictable performance in elevated‑temperature environments.
• Assembly‑friendly package: Snap‑in radial can simplifies PCB retention and mechanical stability compared with loose leaded parts.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs that require restricted‑substance conformity.
