LKSA2822MESB

The LKSA2822MESB is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKS series. It delivers 8,200 µF capacitance at a 42 V rating in a compact radial can designed for snap‑in mounting.

Part of the LKS family, which is specified for smaller-sized audio equipment and general‑purpose applications, this capacitor provides high bulk capacitance with defined electrical and endurance characteristics for design and procurement planning.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 8,200 µF nominal capacitance with a 42 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package; physical size φ30 × 35 mm (D × L) for through‑hole snap‑in assembly.
• Electrical Loss & Ripple — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) = 0.3 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz); low frequency ripple current rated 3.2 A at 120 Hz.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current 1,760 µA (after voltage application at 20°C as defined in product data).
• Operating Range & Endurance — Operating temperature −40°C to +85°C; endurance rating of 1,000 hours at 85°C with return-to-spec requirements after test.
• Regulatory & Packaging — RoHS compliant; supplied in tray packing. Status: End Of Life.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Suited for smaller-sized audio applications within the LKS series scope where snap‑in mounting and high capacitance are required.
• General-purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance for designs that specify an 8,200 µF, 42 V polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial bulk capacitance — 8,200 µF at 42 V supplies significant stored energy within a compact snap‑in can form factor.
• Measurable ripple and loss parameters — Rated ripple current (3.2 A at 120 Hz) and specified tan δ (0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz) allow engineering tradeoffs to be evaluated against real test conditions.
• Wide operating temperature window — Rated from −40°C to +85°C with endurance validated for 1,000 hours at 85°C for lifecycle planning.
• RoHS compliance — Built to comply with RoHS directive requirements for regulatory consistency across designs.
• Tray packing — Packaged for handling in production environments; status is End Of Life, enabling clear BOM and lifecycle decisions.
