LKSA2332MESY

The LKSA2332MESY is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKS series, optimized for audio equipment and general‑purpose electronic use. This part carries a rated capacitance of 3.3 mF (3300 μF) at 42 V and is supplied in a radial can snap‑in package for secure board mounting.

Designed for compact installations, the LKSA2332MESY is intended to provide audible tone‑quality improvement when used as a replacement for smaller standard capacitors. It is RoHS compliant and built for reliable operation across common industrial temperature ranges.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 μF) nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 42 V and a tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap‑in Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal type in a radial, can‑style package for robust board retention and easy assembly.
• Audio‑oriented Design — Series and product description indicate suitability for audio equipment and a potential tone‑quality improvement when replacing smaller standard parts.
• Electrical Endurance — Designed for 1000 hours operation at 85°C with specified endurance characteristics (capacitance change within ±20%; tan δ and leakage limits defined in series specifications).
• Ripple Handling — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 2 A at 120 Hz, suitable for common power filtering tasks in equipment within its ratings.
• Operating Temperature — Specified category temperature range of −40°C to +85°C to cover a wide set of ambient conditions.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current meets series standard: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, ILeak ≤ 3√(C·V) μA [C in μF, V in V].
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint — Physical size approximately L: 3.5 × D: 2 cm for space‑constrained designs.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Intended for use in audio gear where replacing smaller standard capacitors can produce a measurable improvement in tone quality.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Suitable for general‑purpose filtering, smoothing and energy storage in electronic assemblies within the part's voltage and temperature ratings.
• Power Supply Modules — Used where 3.3 mF capacitance and 42 V rating with a 2 A ripple current capability are required for low‑frequency ripple suppression.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑centric performance: Explicit series guidance highlights tone‑quality benefits when used as a replacement for smaller standard capacitors.
• High capacitance in a compact package: 3.3 mF (3300 μF) in a radial snap‑in can enables higher energy storage without excessive board area.
• Robust ripple capability: 2 A ripple current at 120 Hz provides practical headroom for common low‑frequency power conditions.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +85°C rating supports a variety of indoor and industrial environments.
• Defined endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C with measured limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current offers predictable long‑term behavior.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in environments with restricted substance requirements.
