LKSA2562MESY

The LKSA2562MESY from Nichicon is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKS series, offering 5600 µF capacitance at a 42 V rating. Designed for general-purpose and audio equipment applications, it provides bulk energy storage and smoothing in power rails where a high capacitance and snap-in mounting are required.

Key value comes from its high capacitance-to-volume ratio (φ20 × 50 mm), a rated low-frequency ripple current of 2.7 A (120 Hz), and an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C for reliable operation in thermally stressed environments. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 mF (5600 µF) nominal capacitance with a 42 V rated voltage, suitable for bulk filtering and energy storage on DC power rails.
• High Ripple Current — Low frequency ripple current rated at 2.7 A (120 Hz), enabling effective handling of AC ripple on power supplies.
• Electrical Loss — Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.3 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, useful for assessing AC loss and heating in circuit designs.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1450 µA, allowing designers to budget standby losses and pre-charge behavior.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, supporting sustained performance under elevated temperature conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap-in terminals (snap-in mounting) in a compact φ20 × 50 mm package; packaged in trays for board-level assembly.
• Tolerance & Polarity — Capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% and polarized construction, for straightforward integration in DC circuits.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Bulk filtering and smoothing in audio power supplies where the LKS series is specified for smaller-sized, high-tone quality performance.
• Power Supply Filtering — Energy storage and ripple attenuation on 42 V DC rails, leveraging the 5600 µF capacitance and 2.7 A ripple rating.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Decoupling and bulk capacitance in industrial and consumer electronics requiring snap-in mounting and RoHS-compliant components.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Bulk Capacitance: 5600 µF provides significant energy reserve for smoothing and transient support on DC rails.
• High Ripple Handling: 2.7 A (120 Hz) ripple rating reduces voltage fluctuation under load and helps manage thermal rise from AC ripple.
• Compact Snap-In Form Factor: φ20 × 50 mm radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies PCB mounting for high-capacitance needs while minimizing board footprint.
• Engineered Endurance: 1000 hours rated life at 85°C gives a clear performance expectation for designs operating in elevated temperatures.
• Measured Loss Characteristics: Known tan δ (0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current (1450 µA) allow predictable power-loss and thermal design trade-offs.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements for use in regulatory-compliant product designs.
