LKS1V822MESY

The LKS1V822MESY is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LKS series, designed specifically for audio equipment and smaller-sized installations. It provides polarized electrolytic capacitance with a rated voltage of 35 V and a rated capacitance of 8.2 mF.

Built for general-purpose applications where improved tone quality is desired by replacing smaller standard parts, this RoHS-compliant part combines compact packaging with specifications tailored for audio and electronic designs.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity — Rated capacitance of 8.2 mF and rated voltage of 35 V deliver substantial bulk energy storage suitable for audio and general-purpose circuits.
• Snap-in Mounting — Snap-in terminal type and radial can package provide secure chassis or PCB mounting for robust mechanical installation.
• Ripple Handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 2.7 A at 120 Hz supports applications with moderate AC ripple requirements.
• Temperature Range — Operates across −40°C to +85°C, enabling use in a wide set of environmental conditions.
• Designed for Audio — LKS series specification notes suitability for audio equipment and an intended effect of tone-quality improvement when replacing smaller standard components.
• Reliability — Endurance specified at 1000 hours at 85°C; after this test the part meets defined capacitance, tan δ and leakage current limits as per the series datasheet.
• Compliance — RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated product designs.
• Compact Footprint — Smaller-sized LKS series design provides a higher-tone-quality replacement option within a compact package (size noted as L: 5 × D: 2 cm in product data).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Intended for use in audio devices where replacing smaller standard capacitors can contribute to improved tone quality.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Suitable for circuits requiring polarized electrolytic capacitance with moderate ripple current and wide operating temperature.
• Chassis or PCB Mounting — Snap-in terminal format is useful where secure mechanical mounting is required in compact assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused formulation — Marketed for audio equipment with an intended tone-quality improvement when replacing smaller standard parts.
• Robust ripple capability — 2.7 A ripple current (120 Hz) supports stable operation in circuits subject to AC ripple.
• Wide operating temperature — −40°C to +85°C rating enables deployment across a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Endurance-tested reliability — Specified 1000-hour endurance at 85°C with defined post-test electrical limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements for regulated product designs.
• Secure snap-in packaging — Radial, can snap-in package simplifies mechanical retention in assemblies requiring stable mounting.
