LKSH2562MESA

The LKSH2562MESA is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LKS series, sized φ25×50 mm and supplied in tray packing. It delivers 5.6 mF (5600 µF) capacitance at a rated voltage of 71 V and is designed for general‑purpose and audio equipment applications where a compact, snap‑in radial can is required.

Key electrical characteristics include a capacitance tolerance of ±20%, low‑frequency ripple current rated at 3.75 A (120 Hz), a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C with a 1000 h endurance at 85°C. The part is RoHS compliant and is currently listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 mF (5600 µF) capacitance at a rated voltage of 71 V, suitable for bulk energy storage in high‑voltage circuits.
• Snap‑In Radial Can — Snap‑in mounting type in a radial, can‑style package (φ25×50 mm) for secure through‑hole retention and easier assembly into power assemblies.
• Ripple Current & Loss — Low‑frequency ripple current of 3.75 A at 120 Hz and tan δ = 0.3 (20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable AC performance in power filtering applications.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 1890 µA, measured after rated voltage application according to product specifications.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C; capacitors meet stability and endurance criteria after restoration to 20°C per the datasheet.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly; status: End Of Life.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Designed for audio equipment where the LKS series notes suitability and smaller size for tonal quality improvements when replacing small standard products.
• General‑Purpose Electronic Designs — Used in general‑purpose circuits that require bulk capacitance and snap‑in mounting for robust PCB retention.
• Power Supply Modules — Applicable where moderate ripple current handling (3.75 A at 120 Hz) and 71 V rating are required for filtering and energy buffer functions.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance at Elevated Voltage: 5.6 mF at 71 V provides significant bulk energy storage for higher‑voltage designs without increasing diameter beyond φ25 mm.
• Snap‑In Mounting for Secure Assembly: Snap‑in radial can package facilitates mechanical retention in power assemblies and simplifies through‑hole installation.
• Predictable AC Performance: Rated ripple current (3.75 A at 120 Hz) and specified tan δ (0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz) give clear parameters for AC ripple and loss budgeting.
• Wide Ambient Range and Defined Endurance: −40°C to +85°C operating range with a 1000 h endurance rating at 85°C supports stable performance under thermal stress per the datasheet.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS directive requirements, simplifying use in designs that require restricted‑substance compliance.
