LKSH2682MESB

The LKSH2682MESB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in, radial-can package designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers 6.8 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 71 V in a compact, smaller-sized footprint suitable for replacing standard small parts to help improve tonal characteristics in audio circuits.

Engineered for reliable operation across a wide temperature range and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), this part balances audio-focused performance with practical assembly features for through-hole power and filter circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6.8 mF capacitance rated at 71 V for bulk energy storage and filtering in power rails and audio circuits.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in mounting provides secure mechanical retention for vertical board installation; package described as radial, can - snap-in.
• Tolerance & Polarization — Polarized capacitor with ±20% capacitance tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable performance in polarized power and audio electrolytic applications.
• Operating Temperature — Rated for −40°C to +85°C to support a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Endurance — Specified for 1000 hours at 85°C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ within 200% of initial, and leakage current within initial limits after test.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 4.05 A at 120 Hz to handle AC ripple in smoothing and power-supply applications.
• Compact Dimensions — Physical size L: 4.5 × D: 3 cm for space-conscious board layouts and audio module replacements.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Clear Sleeve Marking — Marked with silver lettering on a black sleeve for easy identification during assembly and service.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Used in power supply filtering and decoupling where replacement with a smaller-sized capacitor can contribute to perceived tone quality improvement in audio circuits.
• Power Supply Smoothing — Bulk energy storage and ripple suppression on DC rails where 6.8 mF at 71 V and 4.05 A ripple rating meet smoothing requirements.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Through-hole snap-in mounting makes it suitable for a variety of industrial and consumer electronic boards requiring polarized electrolytic capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio improvement — Specified as a smaller-sized, audio-oriented snap-in capacitor intended to offer a tonal improvement when replacing small standard parts.
• Robust ripple capability — 4.05 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports effective AC ripple handling in smoothing and supply decoupling.
• Durable under elevated temperature — 1000-hour endurance at 85°C with defined limits on capacitance, tan δ, and leakage current for predictable lifetime behavior.
• Secure mechanical mounting — Snap-in radial can package simplifies assembly and provides reliable board retention for vertical installations.
• Wide operating range — −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range accommodates diverse operating environments.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS conformity supports use in designs requiring restricted-substance compliance.
