LKSN2332MESA

The LKSN2332MESA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, radial can package designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic use. It provides 3.3 mF capacitance at a 56 V rating with a compact, smaller-sized form factor intended to improve tone quality when replacing small standard parts in audio circuits.

Designed for board-mounted applications, this polarized snap-in capacitor combines a high capacitance value, 2.35 A ripple-current capability at 120 Hz, and a standard industrial operating temperature range for reliable smoothing and decoupling in electronic systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 μF) rated at 56 V, delivering substantial energy storage for power filtering and audio coupling.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal mounting and radial can construction for secure mechanical retention on PCBs and easy insertion during assembly.
• Audio-focused Performance — Specified as "For Audio Equipment" with a smaller-sized design aimed at improving tone quality when used as a replacement for small standard products.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.35 A at 120 Hz to support smoothing duties in low-frequency power circuits.
• Temperature and Lifetime — Operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polarized construction with ±20% capacitance tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable filtering behavior.
• Leakage Current Specification — Meets the series leakage current requirement: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, leakage current is not more than 3√CV (μA), where C is μF and V is volts.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).
• Compact Size — Physical dimensions: L: 3 × D: 2.5 cm, enabling higher-density assemblies where space is constrained.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Use as power-supply smoothing or coupling capacitors where replacement with a smaller, higher-capacitance part can improve perceived tone quality.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Bulk filtering and decoupling in consumer and professional electronic devices requiring polarized aluminum electrolytics.
• Power Supply Filtering — Low-frequency ripple smoothing in supplies where the 56 V rating and 2.35 A ripple capability support stable operation.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-Optimized Form Factor: Smaller-sized LKS series design targeted for audio equipment replacement to help improve tone quality compared to small standard parts.
• High Capacitance in a Compact Package: 3.3 mF (3300 μF) at 56 V provides substantial energy storage while conserving board area.
• Robust Ripple Handling: 2.35 A ripple-current rating at 120 Hz supports effective smoothing in low-frequency power applications.
• Durability at Elevated Temperature: Rated for -40°C to +85°C with 1000 hours endurance at 85°C under rated voltage for predictable long-term performance.
• Secure PCB Mounting: Snap-in terminal and radial can package simplify assembly and provide mechanical stability on the PCB.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs that require restricted-substance conformity.
