LKSH2272MESY

The LKSH2272MESY is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKS series, optimized for audio equipment and smaller-sized designs. It combines a 2.7 mF capacitance with a 71 V rated voltage in a radial, snap-in can package for through-hole mounting.

Designed for general-purpose and audio-focused assemblies, this polarized capacitor offers a balance of capacitance, ripple handling and temperature endurance suited to applications that benefit from a compact, audio-oriented electrolytic solution.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF capacitance with a 71 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), providing stable energy storage for designs that require higher-voltage electrolytic capacitance.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can-style snap-in terminal package for reliable through-hole PCB installation; physical size is approximately L: 4.5 × D: 2 cm, supporting compact board layouts.
• Audio-Oriented Design — Part of Nichicon’s LKS series described specifically for audio equipment; noted for improvement in tone quality when replacing smaller standard products.
• Performance & Reliability — Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C. Leakage current is specified as not more than 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C.
• Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current rating of 2.5 A at 120 Hz for applications where AC ripple must be tolerated.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863), suitable for use in regulated markets.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Intended for audio-focused systems where replacement of smaller standard capacitors can contribute to improved tone quality and performance.
• General Purpose Electronic Equipment — Polarized snap-in capacitor suitable for through-hole assemblies requiring compact, higher-voltage electrolytic capacitance.
• Embedded Power Modules — Useful in power assemblies that require a radial, snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple and temperature endurance characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-capacitance form — 2.7 mF in a smaller LKS-series snap-in can supports space-constrained designs without sacrificing capacitance.
• Audio-focused performance — Series-level characterization highlights tone-quality improvement when used as a replacement for smaller standard parts.
• Robust thermal endurance — Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C provides predictable long-term behavior under elevated temperatures.
• Measurable leakage specification — Leakage current limited to ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, enabling predictable bias behavior in circuits.
• High ripple capability — 2.5 A at 120 Hz low-frequency ripple current rating supports applications with significant AC ripple content.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 for regulated manufacturing environments.
