LKSA2562MESB

The LKSA2562MESB from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKS series, designed for audio equipment and general-purpose power filtering applications. This smaller-sized snap-in can delivers 5.6 mF capacitance at a 42 V rating with a compact φ30 × 25 mm can size and tray packing for easy assembly.

Engineered for reliable performance in moderate-temperature environments, the part combines high capacitance, a 2.7 A low-frequency ripple current rating (120 Hz), and a 1000-hour endurance at 85°C to support smoothing and decoupling in audio and general electronics assemblies while complying with RoHS requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 mF (5600 µF) nominal capacitance with a 42 V rated voltage and a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Low-Frequency Ripple Handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 2.7 A at 120 Hz, suitable for bulk filtering and power-supply ripple reduction in audio and general-purpose circuits.
• Loss Characteristics — Loss tangent (tan δ) of 0.3 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable AC loss behavior in audio and power applications.
• Robust Endurance & Temperature Range — Endurance specified at 1000 hours at 85°C with an operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, supporting stable performance under elevated temperature stress.
• Snap-In Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal mounting and radial can package (φ30 × 25 mm) for secure installation in chassis and PCB assemblies; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1450 µA after application of rated voltage and initial conditioning.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives as indicated for the LKS series.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Designed for audio electronics where smaller-sized snap-in capacitors are used for power-supply smoothing and to help maintain tonal characteristics.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in consumer and industrial circuits requiring 42 V rated, high-capacitance snap-in parts.
• Chassis and PCB Assemblies — Snap-in radial can mounting is suitable for secure mechanical mounting in assemblies that use tray-packed components for production.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Can — 5.6 mF in a φ30 × 25 mm package provides substantial bulk storage while minimizing enclosure space.
• Designed for Audio Performance — LKS series positioning for audio equipment offers a smaller-sized option intended to preserve tonal characteristics when upgrading from standard parts.
• Solid Ripple Current Capability — 2.7 A low-frequency ripple rating at 120 Hz supports effective smoothing in power rails that drive analog and audio stages.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — 1000-hour life at 85°C provides a measurable reliability baseline for thermal stress scenarios.
• Production-Friendly Packaging — Tray packing is provided for streamlined handling in assembly lines and inventory management.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in regions requiring hazardous-substance restrictions.
