LKSH2682MESC

The LKSH2682MESC is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKS series, engineered for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers a compact, snap-in radial can package intended for space-conscious designs that seek improved tone quality by replacing smaller standard parts.

Key electrical characteristics include a capacitance of 6.8 mF and a rated voltage of 71 V, with RoHS compliance and polarized construction suitable for typical power-filtering and reservoir roles in audio and general electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6.8 mF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 71 V and tolerance of −20% to +20% for reliable energy storage and decoupling.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal mounting for robust board retention and straightforward insertion into power assemblies and chassis-mounted designs.
• Audio‑focused Performance — Specified in the LKS series as “for audio equipment” and described as smaller and higher-tone quality versus comparable LKG TYPE-1 grade parts, enabling replacement upgrades aimed at improved audio characteristics.
• Ripple Current Capacity — Rated ripple current of 4.05 A at 120 Hz, supporting AC ripple handling in low-frequency power applications.
• Thermal and Lifetime Specs — Operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C with qualified endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C; post‑endurance capacitance change is within ±20% and leakage current remains at or below initial specification.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current limited to not more than 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20 °C (C = rated capacitance in µF, V = voltage in V), enabling predictable standby behavior.
• Polarized Design — Polarized electrolytic construction appropriate for DC reservoir and smoothing roles in powered circuits.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Replacement or upgrade capacitor in amplifiers, preamplifiers, and audio power supplies where improved tone quality and compact sizing are desired.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Energy storage and smoothing in a wide range of consumer and professional electronic devices that use polarized electrolytic capacitors.
• Space‑Constrained Designs — Compact snap-in radial can suitable for systems that require a smaller physical footprint while retaining electrolytic capacitance and ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑oriented tuning: Described as smaller and higher-tone quality than comparable LKG TYPE-1 parts, enabling targeted upgrades in sound-sensitive equipment.
• High ripple capability for low-frequency use: 4.05 A ripple rating at 120 Hz supports robust handling of AC ripple in power supply applications.
• Predictable leakage characteristics: Leakage current specification following the 3√CV formula provides measurable, repeatable leakage performance after voltage application.
• Durability under rated conditions: Endurance defined as 1000 hours at 85 °C with defined limits for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage current ensures component reliability over defined lifecycle testing.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports deployment in environments requiring restricted substance compliance.
