LKS1V562MESA

The LKS1V562MESA is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor engineered for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic designs. It provides 5.6 mF (5600 µF) capacitance at a 35 V rating with polarized construction and snap-in radial can packaging for secure panel or PCB mounting.

This smaller-sized LKS-series part is offered as a replacement to small standard capacitors where designers seek measurable tone-quality improvement; it is RoHS compliant and specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with defined endurance at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Core Type Aluminum electrolytic capacitor, polarized, designed for bulk energy storage and smoothing in audio and general-purpose circuits.
• Electrical Rating 5.6 mF (5600 µF) nominal capacitance at 35 V DC with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Ripple Handling Rated low-frequency ripple current of 2.25 A at 120 Hz to support power-rail smoothing in amplifier and power-supply sections.
• Package & Mounting Snap-in terminal, radial can package for secure mechanical retention and straightforward snap-in PCB assembly.
• Operating Range & Endurance Specified for −40 °C to +85 °C. Endurance defined as 1000 hours at 85 °C with rated voltage applied; after that test capacitance change remains within ±20% and leakage/tan δ meet specified limits.
• Leakage Current Leakage current specification: after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20 °C, not more than 3√(C·V) µA (C in µF, V in V), per datasheet method.
• Finish & Marking Printed with silver-colored lettering on a black sleeve for easy identification.
• Environmental Compliance Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment Bulk smoothing and power decoupling in amplifier power rails where replacing smaller standard capacitors can yield audible tone-quality improvements.
• Power Supply Filtering Reservoir and smoothing capacitor for linear or discrete power supplies in consumer and professional electronics.
• General-Purpose Electronics Energy storage and decoupling for control boards and high-current circuits requiring polarized, high-capacitance snap-in components.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio performance: Marketed specifically for audio equipment with smaller-sized construction that can improve tone quality when replacing small standard parts.
• High ripple capacity: 2.25 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports robust smoothing in power rails and amplifier supplies.
• Long-term endurance: Endurance validated to 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage with controlled limits on capacitance change, leakage, and tan δ.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Snap-in radial can design provides reliable mechanical retention for high-current applications and simplifies assembly.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements for lead-free designs.
