LKSN2562MESA

The LKSN2562MESA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and general‑purpose power filtering where a compact, high‑capacitance solution is required. It delivers 5.6 mF (5600 µF) at a 56 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can optimized for smaller installations.

Engineered as part of Nichicon’s LKS series, this smaller‑sized snap‑in type emphasizes tonal quality improvements for audio applications while providing standard electrolytic capacitor performance for broader OEM use.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5600 µF (5.6 mF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 56 V, suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% specified at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable performance in filter and decoupling networks.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 3.2 A at 120 Hz to support sustained AC ripple in power supplies and audio amplifier stages.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1680 µA; the LKS series leakage guideline conforms to the datasheet formula (≤ 3√CV μA after 5 minutes at 20°C).
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C, supporting long‑term operation under rated conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 40 mm) for secure board mounting and streamlined assembly; supplied in tray packing for handling consistency.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant, aligning with lead‑restriction requirements.
• Polarized — Designed as a polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC smoothing and energy storage applications.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Bulk filtering and power supply decoupling in amplifiers and audio stages where the LKS series is specified for tonal quality improvements and compact sizing.
• Power Supply Filtering — Smoothing and reservoir capacitance for general‑purpose power supplies requiring 56 V rated bulk capacitance and 3.2 A ripple capability.
• OEM Power Modules — Compact radial snap‑in form factor suited to assemblies that need high capacitance in a smaller footprint with tray packing for production handling.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high‑capacitance solution — 5600 µF in a φ25 × 40 mm snap‑in can provides significant bulk capacitance while minimizing board area.
• Audio‑focused design — Part of the LKS family promoted for smaller size and tonal quality improvements in audio equipment, supporting designers targeting sound performance.
• Solid ripple performance — 3.2 A ripple rating at 120 Hz helps maintain stable operation under AC loading conditions common in power supplies and amplifier outputs.
• Durability under rated stress — 1000 hours endurance at 85°C provides predictable lifetime behavior when operated within specified limits.
• RoHS compliant and tray packed — Environmentally compliant materials and tray packing facilitate production handling and regulatory alignment.
