It delivers a compact, smaller-sized option intended to provide tone-quality improvement when used as a replacement for small standard products and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal capacitance with a 71 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can snap-in package for secure board mounting; package dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.378 inch.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design suitable for applications requiring polarity-specific capacitors.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Ripple Handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 2.7 A at 120 Hz.
• Audio-oriented Design — Part of the LKS series described as smaller and offering higher tone quality compared with the LKG TYPE-1 grade; intended for audio equipment applications.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Designed for use in audio systems where replacing a small standard capacitor can contribute to tone-quality improvement.
• General-Purpose Electronic Equipment — Suited to a range of general-purpose applications that require a compact snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor.
• Board-mounted Assemblies — Snap-in terminal configuration for secure, repeatable installation in assemblies that accept radial, snap-in cans.
• Replacement/Upgrade Projects — Targeted for upgrades or replacements where a smaller-sized capacitor from the LKS series is desired.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused sizing: The smaller-sized LKS design is positioned to deliver tone-quality improvements when used as a replacement for small standard capacitors.
• High ripple capability: 2.7 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports stable operation under typical low-frequency ripple conditions.
• Robust operating range: −40°C to +85°C rating with 1000-hour endurance at 85°C provides predictable performance over time.
• Easy PCB integration: Snap-in terminal, radial can package simplifies board mounting and mechanical retention.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports equipment designs requiring restricted substances conformance.
