LKSH2332MESB

The LKSH2332MESB is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKS series, designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers polarization, high capacitance in a compact snap-in can package and is RoHS compliant.

Key design attributes include a 3.3 mF capacitance at a 71 V rating, snap-in mounting for secure panel or chassis installation, and a smaller-sized footprint intended to support tone-quality improvement when replacing smaller standard parts.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 3.3 mF capacitance rated at 71 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in higher-voltage circuits.
• Snap-in Package: Radial, can-type snap-in mounting for robust mechanical retention and straightforward assembly into chassis or PCB fixtures.
• Compact Dimensions: Physical size L: 2.5 × D: 3 cm, enabling smaller-sized implementations where space is limited.
• Polarized Electrolytic: Polarized construction for use in DC power circuits where large capacitance is required.
• Operating Range: Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Ripple Handling: Rated low-frequency ripple current of 2.7 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and ripple reduction in power circuits.
• Tolerance and Reliability: Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and leakage current specified per datasheet limits; manufactured to meet LKS series endurance and shelf-life characteristics.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated substance requirements.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment: Intended for audio systems, where replacement from smaller standard parts can contribute to tone-quality improvement as noted by the product literature.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering: Bulk energy storage and smoothing in DC power circuits that require a polarized aluminum electrolytic with snap-in mounting.
• Chassis or Panel-Mounted Electronics: Snap-in terminal design facilitates secure mechanical installation in equipment assemblies that accept snap-in cans.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Can: 3.3 mF stored in a smaller-sized radial snap-in package supports compact design layouts without sacrificing bulk capacitance.
• Snap-in Retention: Snap-in terminals provide secure mechanical mounting and simplify assembly in chassis or fixture-style implementations.
• Temperature-Endurance Balance: Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C, offering predictable long-term behavior within the specified range.
• Practical Ripple Performance: 2.7 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports effective low-frequency smoothing in applicable power stages.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction helps meet environmental and materials requirements for regulated markets.
