LKS1V103MESC

The LKS1V103MESC is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor designed for audio equipment and general-purpose power applications. It delivers 10 mF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a compact, snap-in radial can intended to improve tone quality when replacing smaller standard parts.

Engineered for board-level power filtering and decoupling, this RoHS-compliant capacitor balances high capacitance, a wide operating temperature range, and robust ripple-handling to support audio and consumer electronics designs.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 10 mF capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk filtering and energy storage in power rails.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 2.95 A at 120 Hz, providing capacity for low-frequency power smoothing in audio power supplies.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in radial can package for secure PCB mounting; Package case described as Radial, Can - Snap-In to simplify assembly.
• Thermal & Reliability — Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C and specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C (endurance criteria per datasheet).
• Polarized Design — Polarized electrolytic suitable for DC power applications where polarity is defined.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Used in power supply filtering and decoupling to help improve tone quality when replacing smaller standard capacitors.
• Consumer Electronics — Bulk energy storage and smoothing on DC rails in compact consumer devices.
• General-Purpose Power — Filtering and transient suppression in power supply circuits where a polarized, snap-in capacitor is required.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Package: 10 mF in a smaller-sized snap-in can enables higher energy density without increasing board footprint significantly.
• Improved Audio Performance: Specifically called out for tone quality improvement when used as a replacement for smaller standard parts.
• Robust Low-Frequency Ripple Handling: 2.95 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports effective smoothing in low-frequency power stages.
• Broad Temperature Range: −40°C to +85°C operating range supports varied environmental conditions common in consumer and audio equipment.
• Endurance-Qualified: Designed to meet endurance specifications after 1000 hours at 85°C as detailed in the datasheet.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports environmental and regulatory requirements for many assemblies.
