LKSH2822MESC

The LKSH2822MESC is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKS series, designed for audio equipment and general-purpose power filtering. It combines a compact snap-in can package with specifications tuned for audio replacement and power smoothing tasks.

Key attributes include an 8.2 mF capacitance at a 71 V rating, polarized construction, RoHS compliance, and a design intended to improve tone quality when replacing smaller standard capacitors.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 8.2 mF (8200 μF) rated at 71 V for bulk energy storage and power-supply decoupling in higher-voltage audio and general-purpose applications.
• Audio-Focused Design — Specified for audio equipment with an explicit note that replacing smaller standard parts can yield a tone-quality improvement.
• Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminal type in a radial can (snap-in) package for secure board retention and straightforward assembly into chassis or PCBs.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 4.35 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and filtering duties in low-frequency power rails.
• Temperature Range & Reliability — Operates from −40 °C to +85 °C with a specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Tolerance & Polarity — ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C; polarized electrolytic construction for correct polarity installation.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint — Physical size approx. 4.0 × 3.5 cm (L × D), enabling use where space is limited compared to larger standard snap-in parts.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Bulk filtering and power-supply decoupling in amplifiers and other audio systems where replacing smaller capacitors can improve perceived tone quality.
• Power Supply Filtering — Energy storage and smoothing on higher-voltage rails requiring a 71 V rated polarized capacitor.
• Consumer and Pro AV Electronics — General-purpose filtering and decoupling in devices that benefit from compact snap-in mounting and robust ripple capability.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio replacement: Specified effect on tone quality when used to replace smaller standard capacitors, making it suitable for audio-focused designs.
• High-voltage capability: 71 V rating provides headroom for higher-voltage power rails compared with lower-voltage electrolytics.
• Strong ripple performance: 4.35 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports effective smoothing in low-frequency power applications.
• Durable across temperature: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C for reliable service in typical operating environments.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulated materials compliance.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Radial snap-in can package provides robust mechanical retention for assembly into equipment chassis or PCBs.
