LKSN2332MESC

The LKSN2332MESC is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers a compact, smaller-sized alternative intended to improve tone quality when replacing standard small electrolytic capacitors.

Built for through-panel snap-in mounting, this polarized capacitor is RoHS compliant and specified for operation across a wide ambient range, with defined endurance and ripple characteristics for reliable use in assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 56 V; capacitance tolerance is ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap-in terminals for secure, board-level mounting in power assemblies and chassis-mount audio equipment; physical size is L: 2.0 cm × D: 3.5 cm with a seated height max of 2 cm.
• Performance: Ripple Handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current is 2.35 A at 120 Hz, providing defined AC current capability for smoothing and filtering tasks.
• Electrical Characteristics — Polarized construction with leakage-current specification: after 5 minutes at 20°C, leakage current is not more than 3√(C·V) (µA), per the series datasheet test method.
• Frequency/Loss Characteristic — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) and impedance behavior are defined per the LKS series measurement conditions (120 Hz, 20°C) in the datasheet.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating temperature range is –40°C to +85°C; endurance rating is 1000 hours at 85°C with post-test requirements for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current as specified in the series datasheet.
• Regulatory — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Intended for use in audio circuits where replacing smaller standard capacitors can yield an audible improvement in tone quality.
• General-Purpose Electronic Equipment — Bulk capacitance and smoothing in general-purpose power supplies and assemblies where a compact snap-in electrolytic is required.
• Snap-in Power Modules — Through-panel or chassis-mounted power modules that require secure snap-in radial capacitors with defined ripple and endurance specifications.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, audio-oriented form factor: Smaller-sized construction targeted for tone-quality improvements versus standard small capacitors, making upgrades straightforward.
• High defined ripple capability: 2.35 A at 120 Hz provides predictable AC current handling for filtering and decoupling in power circuits.
• Clear reliability specification: 1000 hours at 85°C endurance rating with post-test limits on capacitance, tan δ and leakage current supports reasonable design lifetime planning.
• Robust operating range: −40°C to +85°C operation covers a broad set of ambient conditions for general-purpose electronics.
• Assembly-friendly snap-in design: Radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies mechanical retention and board integration in chassis or panel-mounted designs.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to applicable RoHS directives for environmental and regulatory alignment.
