LKSN2103MESC

The LKSN2103MESC is a snap-in, aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKS series designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers high capacitance in a compact snap-in radial can, targeted to improve tone quality when replacing smaller standard capacitors.

Engineered for power-supply filtering and smoothing in audio circuits, this polarized capacitor provides a 56 V rated voltage, robust ripple handling, and RoHS compliance for environmentally conscious designs.

Key Features

• Electrolytic Core — Aluminum electrolytic construction offering 10 mF capacitance suitable for power filtering and energy storage in audio circuits.
• Rated Voltage and Tolerance — 56 V rated voltage with tolerance of -20% to 20% for predictable design margins.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap-in terminals for secure board/chassis mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 85 °C and specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Ripple Performance — Rated ripple current of 4.15 A at 120 Hz to support stable supply performance under AC loading conditions.
• Polarized — Polarized device suitable for DC power rails and conventional electrolytic capacitor topologies.
• Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Power-supply smoothing and decoupling in amplifiers and audio power rails where capacitor replacement can improve perceived tone quality.
• General Purpose Electronics — Bulk energy storage and ripple suppression for general-purpose power supplies in commercial and consumer devices.
• PCB or Chassis Mounted Power Modules — Snap-in mounting facilitates secure installation in board- or chassis-mounted power modules and assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Snap‑In Can — 10 mF capacitance in a radial snap-in package enables replacement of smaller standard components to improve audio performance without major layout changes.
• Robust Ripple Handling — 4.15 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports steady operation under AC-loaded power rails.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — −40 °C to 85 °C rating provides reliable behavior across common environmental conditions.
• Designed for Endurance — Specified for 1000 hours at 85 °C, offering predictable lifetime performance for short‑ to mid‑term deployments.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction simplifies use in designs requiring restricted-substance adherence.
