The LKS1V562MESY is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and general-purpose applications. It provides 5.6 mF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a compact radial, can-style snap-in package suited for through-hole mounting.

Key electrical and reliability attributes include an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C, and RoHS compliance, making it appropriate for designers seeking a compact electrolytic solution for audio-related circuits and replacements that can improve tone quality.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 mF capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage, providing bulk energy storage for audio and general-purpose circuits.
• Snap-in Mounting — Snap-in terminal type in a radial can package for secure through-hole mounting and ease of board assembly.
• Audio-focused Design — Part of Nichicon's LKS series described as "Smaller and high-tone quality," intended for audio equipment and offering tone-quality improvement when replacing smaller standard products.
• Ripple Performance — Rated ripple current of 2.25 A at 120 Hz, supporting higher ripple conditions common in power supply filtering for audio systems.
• Wide Temperature Range — Specified to operate from -40°C to +85°C to accommodate typical ambient conditions in consumer and professional equipment.
• Reliability — Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current; RoHS compliant.
• Compact Footprint — Physical size approximately L: 4 × D: 2 cm, enabling placement in space-constrained designs.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polar type capacitor for DC applications where polarized electrolytics are required.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Intended use in audio products where exchanging smaller standard capacitors can contribute to tonal improvement.
• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in circuits requiring 5.6 mF at 35 V with snap-in mounting.
• Replacement and retrofit — Direct replacement for smaller standard parts in existing audio or electronic assemblies to leverage the LKS series' audio-focused characteristics.
