LKSA2272MESY

The LKSA2272MESY is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LKS series, providing 2700 µF capacitance at a 42 V rating with ±20% tolerance. It is designed as a general‑purpose, PCB‑mounted radial can for engineers working on audio equipment and other electronic assemblies that require a compact, high‑capacitance snap‑in solution.

Key electrical and reliability characteristics include a 0.3 tan δ, 1.7 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz, specified leakage current of 1010 µA, and a 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing. Current product status: end of life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2700 µF nominal capacitance at a 42 V rating with ±20% tolerance, suitable where substantial bulk capacitance is required.
• Snap‑in Mounting & Package — Radial, can‑type snap‑in package (φ20 × 30 mm) for secure PCB installation and mechanical stability in vertical assemblies.
• Ripple Performance & Loss — Rated ripple current 1.7 A (120 Hz) and tan δ of 0.3, defined for designers balancing AC stress and dissipation.
• Leakage & Polarization — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction with specified leakage current of 1010 µA after standard voltage application.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to 85 °C with an endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C, providing predictable behavior over the rated life.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS‑compliant material set and supplied in trays for production handling.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Sized and specified for audio equipment applications, drawing on the LKS series design intent for smaller, audio‑focused radial capacitors.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Applicable where general‑purpose aluminum electrolytic components are required; suitable for a range of electronic assemblies that accept snap‑in radial cans.
• PCB Snap‑in Assemblies — For board‑level installations that need a mechanically robust, vertically mounted capacitor with snap‑in terminals and a compact φ20 × 30 mm footprint.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance in a compact can: 2700 µF at 42 V delivers substantial stored charge for designs constrained by footprint but needing large capacitance.
• Defined ripple handling: 1.7 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz lets designers quantify AC stress handling for filtering or decoupling uses.
• Measured dissipation factor: tan δ = 0.3 provides a clear specification for assessing ESR‑related losses and thermal considerations.
• Temperature and life specification: −40 °C to 85 °C operating range with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C gives predictable aging behavior for lifecycle planning.
• Tray packing for production: Supplied in trays to simplify handling and assembly in manufacturing environments.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant materials align with environmental requirements for many commercial and industrial applications.
