LKSH2332MESY

The LKSH2332MESY is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKS series, designed for audio equipment and general‑purpose electronic applications. Its smaller-sized snap‑in can construction and electrical characteristics make it suitable for designers seeking improved tone quality when replacing smaller standard capacitors.

Key attributes include a rated capacitance of 3.3 mF (3300 µF), a 71 V rated voltage, RoHS compliance, and specifications aimed at reliable operation across a broad temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) rated capacitance with a 71 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for energy storage and smoothing in higher‑voltage audio and general‑purpose circuits.
• Snap‑in, Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting and radial can package provide secure mechanical retention for chassis or PCB assemblies where a robust vertical mount is required.
• Audio‑Focused Performance — Specified as “for audio equipment” and marketed as smaller‑sized with documented tone quality improvement when used to replace smaller standard products.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated for 2.7 A ripple current at 120 Hz, supporting power smoothing duties in supplies and audio circuits under AC ripple stress.
• Operating Range & Reliability — Operates from −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C, enabling consistent performance over extended use at elevated temperature.
• Polarized Electrolytic Construction — Polar capacitor design appropriate for DC bulk filtering and smoothing applications where polarity is maintained.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting common environmental requirements for electronic assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Used as a replacement or upgrade capacitor to improve perceived tone quality in audio systems and related electronics.
• Power Supply Smoothing — Bulk filtering and ripple smoothing in general‑purpose power supplies and DC rails.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Energy storage and decoupling in consumer and industrial equipment requiring a snap‑in radial mounting solution.

Unique Advantages

• Compact snap‑in form factor: Smaller-sized radial can with snap‑in terminals helps save board space and simplifies mechanical mounting in vertical assemblies.
• Tone improvement for audio designs: Specified for audio equipment and noted for enhancing tone quality when replacing smaller standard capacitors.
• High ripple handling: 2.7 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports robust smoothing performance under AC ripple conditions.
• Wide temperature operation with defined endurance: −40 °C to +85 °C rating and 1000 hours life at 85 °C provide predictable long‑term behavior in thermally demanding environments.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance reduces environmental and regulatory risk for assemblies destined for regulated markets.
