LKSH2822MESB

The LKSH2822MESB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in radial can package designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers 8.2 mF capacitance at a 71 V rating with a compact, smaller-sized form factor intended to improve tone quality when replacing small standard parts.

This component is polarized, RoHS compliant, and built for durability with a specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C, making it suitable for designs that require stable filtering and energy storage across a -40°C to 85°C operating range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage  8.2 mF (8200 µF) nominal capacitance rated at 71 V with a tolerance of ±20%.
• Package & Mounting  Snap-in terminal, radial can construction for secure board mounting and mechanical stability in through-hole assemblies.
• Audio-focused Performance  Smaller-sized design with a documented tone-quality improvement when replacing small standard products, intended for audio equipment use.
• Electrical Endurance  Rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C with endurance limits specified for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after the endurance test.
• Ripple Current & Leakage  Rated ripple current of 4.35 A at 120 Hz; initial leakage current specification: after 5 minutes at 20°C the leakage is not more than 3√CV (µA), where C = rated capacitance (µF) and V = voltage (V).
• Operating Range  Category temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for stable performance across typical commercial and audio environments.
• Environmental Compliance  Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Size  Package dimensions approximately L: 5 × D: 3 cm with a snap-in radial can form factor (polarized).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment  Used in audio circuits where replacement by a smaller-sized capacitor can deliver measurable tone-quality improvement.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering  Bulk energy storage and smoothing in power supply sections for electronic devices operating within -40°C to 85°C.
• Upgrades and Replacements  Direct replacement of small standard capacitors to improve tonal characteristics or increase capacitance in existing designs.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-optimized form factor: Smaller physical size and sound-quality improvements when used as a replacement for small standard parts, useful for designers targeting better audio reproduction.
• High ripple capability: 4.35 A ripple current (120 Hz) supports robust smoothing in power circuits and reduces stress under AC ripple conditions.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage current bounded by the 3√CV rule after initial application, enabling predictable start-up performance in designs.
• Wide operating temperature: -40°C to 85°C rating supports a broad range of commercial and audio equipment environments.
• Endurance specification: 1000 hours at 85°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current, providing measurable long-term reliability data for design planning.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements for restricted substances.
