Overview of LKSH2472MESC – Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 4700 µF, 71 V
The LKSH2472MESC is a Nichicon LKS series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 4700 µF of capacitance at 71 V in a compact radial can (φ35 × 30 mm). It is designed for general‑purpose applications and is part of a smaller‑sized LKS family that is targeted for audio equipment and other board designs requiring high bulk capacitance in a snap‑in package.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 71 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.3 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing a defined dissipation characteristic for system design.
- Low‑Frequency Ripple Handling — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 3.4 A at 120 Hz to address AC ripple demands in applicable circuits.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1730 µA to aid in bias and standby current budgeting.
- Endurance & Temperature Range — Lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C and rated operating range from −40°C to +85°C for extended deployed use.
- Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ35 × 30 mm) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant as indicated in the product documentation.
Typical Applications
- Audio Equipment — LKS series is specified for audio applications; LKSH2472MESC provides bulk capacitance in a smaller form factor suitable for tone and power sections where larger electrolytics are required.
- General‑Purpose Electronics — Suited for general‑purpose circuits that require a high capacitance, high‑voltage snap‑in electrolytic capacitor.
- Component Upgrades & Replacements — Part of a smaller‑sized LKS family intended for replacement or upgrade from standard small products to influence performance in target applications.
Unique Advantages
- High bulk capacitance at elevated voltage: 4700 µF at 71 V supplies substantial stored energy for smoothing and decoupling in applicable circuits.
- Defined dissipation behavior: tanδ specified at 0.3 (20°C, 120 Hz) supports predictable thermal and loss budgeting in designs.
- Measured ripple capability: 3.4 A ripple current rating (120 Hz) helps minimize temperature rise under AC ripple conditions.
- Designed for real‑world environments: −40°C to +85°C operating range with 1000 h endurance at 85°C for stability over time.
- Snap‑in, serviceable package: Radial snap‑in can (tray packed) for robust board retention and ease of assembly handling.
- RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements noted in the LKS series documentation.
