LKS1V682MESC

The LKS1V682MESC is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKS series, sized for compact audio and general-purpose equipment. It is a polarized, radial can-type capacitor with a rated capacitance of 6.8 mF and a rated voltage of 35 V.

Designed for audio equipment and other general-purpose applications, this smaller-sized LKS part is intended to improve tone quality when used as a replacement for small standard products, while meeting RoHS requirements.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity — 6.8 mF capacitance at 35 V rated voltage, suitable for bulk energy storage and filtering in DC circuits.
• Polarized Design — Polar capacitor construction for standard DC smoothing and decoupling applications.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap-in terminals for secure chassis or board mounting; package dimensions: length 2.0 cm × diameter 3.5 cm.
• Temperature Range — Operating range from -40 °C to +85 °C for a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Endurance — Rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C with performance limits defined for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after endurance testing.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 2.5 A at 120 Hz, suitable for power filtering workloads with moderate AC ripple components.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current limited per datasheet: not more than 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20 °C, where C is μF and V is volts.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — tan δ specified at 120 Hz and 20 °C; endurance limits defined in the datasheet.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Intended use in audio circuits where replacing a smaller standard capacitor can contribute to improved tone quality and stable filtering.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in DC power supplies for general-purpose electronics.
• General-Purpose Industrial Electronics — Energy storage and decoupling in control and instrumentation designs operating within -40 °C to +85 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Snap-in Form Factor: Smaller-sized radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies mounting in space-constrained assemblies while providing robust mechanical retention.
• Designed for Audio Tone Improvement: Specified as providing an audible tone-quality improvement when replacing small standard products, making it suitable for audio-focused upgrades.
• Measured Ripple Capability: 2.5 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports moderate ripple conditions in power filtering applications.
• Defined Endurance and Thermal Range: Specified 1000 hours at 85 °C and an operating range of -40 °C to +85 °C give predictable performance over the defined lifetime conditions.
• Controlled Leakage and Loss Characteristics: Leakage current limits and tan δ specifications at 120 Hz provide measurable electrical behavior for reliable circuit design.
• RoHS-Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances, aiding regulatory compliance in product designs.
