LKSN2272MESZ

The LKSN2272MESZ is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in radial can package designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers 2.7 mF capacitance at a 56 V rating in a smaller-sized snap-in format intended as a direct upgrade from small standard parts to improve tone quality.

Part of Nichicon’s LKS series, the component is polarized, RoHS compliant, and specified for operation across a wide temperature range with defined endurance characteristics for predictable performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance — 2.7 mF (specified capacitance for energy storage and filtering).
• Rated Voltage — 56 V rating for moderate-voltage power rails.
• Mounting & Package — Snap-in radial, can-style package for secure board retention and straightforward assembly.
• Polarization — Polar electrolytic construction for DC power filtering and decoupling applications.
• Operating Temperature — Specified range −40°C to +85°C to accommodate common consumer and industrial environments.
• Endurance — Rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C for planning long-term reliability.
• Ripple Current — 2.1 A at 120 Hz, supporting moderate ripple handling in power circuits.
• Tolerance — ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS directive compliant as stated in the product description.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Used as a replacement or upgrade in audio power supplies and signal circuits to achieve the described tone-quality improvement over smaller standard parts.
• General-purpose Power Filtering — Smoothing and decoupling on DC rails for consumer and industrial electronics requiring polarized electrolytic capacitors.
