LKS1V332MESY

The LKS1V332MESY is a snap‑in, radial aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKS series, designed for audio equipment and general purpose electronics. It delivers 3.3 mF of capacitance at a 35 V rating with a snap‑in can package that supports robust mechanical mounting and high low‑frequency ripple handling.

Key value comes from its combination of high capacitance, a 1.5 A low‑frequency ripple current rating (at 120 Hz), and specified endurance for predictable performance in temperature‑stressed applications.

Key Features

• Core Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) rated at 35 V provides significant bulk energy storage for smoothing and filtering.
• Capacitance Tolerance & Loss — Capacitance tolerance is ±20% (–20%~+20%), with tan δ of 0.3 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for predictable loss characteristics.
• Power Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 1.5 A at 120 Hz supports ripple smoothing in power circuits; specified leakage current is 1010 µA.
• Mounting & Package — Radial, snap‑in can (φ20) for secure mechanical retention in chassis or PCB assemblies; supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C with end‑of‑life criteria defined for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current.
• Operating Temperature — Specified to operate from −40°C to +85°C to support a wide range of ambient conditions.
• RoHS Compliance — Product is RoHS‑compliant.

Typical Applications

• Audio Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in audio amplifiers and related equipment; the LKS series is specified for audio equipment use.
• General Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk energy storage and ripple reduction in general electronic power supplies and DC rails.
• Industrial & Instrumentation Electronics — Energy storage and filtering where a −40°C to +85°C operating range and 1000 h endurance at 85°C provide predictable behavior under elevated temperature stress.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance at Medium Voltage: 3300 µF at 35 V supplies substantial charge reservoir for smoothing and transient support without increasing voltage rating.
• Measurable Low‑Frequency Ripple Capability: 1.5 A ripple current rating (120 Hz) is specified so designers can size the capacitor directly against expected ripple loads.
• Predictable Loss Characteristics: tan δ = 0.3 (20°C, 120 Hz) provides an explicit parameter for thermal and AC loss calculations in design margins.
• Robust Endurance Specification: 1000 hours at 85°C with defined post‑test limits allows designers to estimate long‑term behavior under elevated temperature stress.
• RoHS‑Compliant Packaging: Tray packing and RoHS status support modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
• Snap‑In Mechanical Retention: Snap‑in radial can construction simplifies secure mounting in assemblies that require mechanical stability.
