LKSA2472MESC

The LKSA2472MESC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKS series, offered in a smaller-sized format and targeted for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic designs. It provides 4,700 µF capacitance at a 42 V rating with snap‑in mounting and tray packing for board-level installation.

Key electrical and reliability attributes include a rated ripple current of 2.5 A (120 Hz), leakage current of 1,330 µA, tanδ = 0.30 (20 °C, 120 Hz), and an endurance rating of 1,000 hours at 85 °C. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4,700 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 42 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• High Ripple Handling — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 2.5 A at 120 Hz to support power smoothing and reservoir functions in power rails.
• Electrical Loss — tanδ = 0.30 measured at 20 °C and 120 Hz for predictable loss characteristics in AC conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,330 µA to help quantify standby and bias currents in designs.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operates across −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1,000 hours at 85 °C per the LKS series specification.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ35 × 20 mm) for secure board attachment; supplied in tray packing for handling.
• Environment — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Designed for use in audio equipment as specified by the product designation, offering the capacitance and ripple handling needed for power filtering in audio circuits.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Suitable for general‑purpose applications that require a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor with defined endurance and temperature range.
• Board‑Level Power Modules — Snap‑in mounting and tray packing simplify installation in board‑level power assemblies where a compact 4,700 µF, 42 V capacitor is required.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, smaller-sized package: φ35 × 20 mm can size provides a smaller footprint while delivering 4,700 µF capacitance for space-constrained designs.
• Defined ripple capability: 2.5 A ripple rating at 120 Hz enables designers to size capacitors against expected AC ripple in power rails.
• Predictable loss and leakage: Specified tanδ (0.30) and leakage current (1,330 µA) allow accurate budgeting of AC dissipation and steady‑state leakage in circuits.
• Temperature and endurance specification: Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C with 1,000 hours endurance at 85 °C, providing a verifiable reliability target for thermal stress conditions.
• Snap‑in mounting: Robust snap‑in radial can package for secure mechanical retention on PCBs and straightforward assembly handling.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for environmental compliance in applicable markets.
