LKSN2682MESB

The LKSN2682MESB is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKS series, optimized for audio equipment and general-purpose power filtering. It delivers 6.8 mF (6800 µF) capacitance at a 56 V rating in a compact snap-in can package, offering improved tone quality when used as a replacement for smaller standard parts.

Designed for board-mounted snap-in installation, the LKSN2682MESB combines solid ripple-current capability and defined endurance for applications operating across a broad temperature range while complying with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6.8 mF (6800 µF) rated at 56 V, with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminal radial can package for secure board mounting and easy installation.
• Audio-focused Performance — Identified in the LKS series as smaller-sized with higher tone quality compared to LKG TYPE-1 grade; suitable for audio equipment upgrades.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 3.5 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and decoupling in power rails operating at low-frequency ripple.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polarized construction for DC power filtering and reservoir applications.
• RoHS Compliance & Marking — Compliant to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863); printed with silver lettering on a black sleeve.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Used in amplifier power supplies and audio signal power rails where replacement with a larger capacitance can improve perceived tone quality.
• Power Supply Smoothing — Bulk smoothing and reservoir capacitor for general-purpose DC power supplies requiring 6.8 mF at up to 56 V.
• General Purpose Electronics — Board-mounted decoupling and energy storage in industrial or consumer electronics operating within −40°C to +85°C.

Unique Advantages

• Improved audio tone quality: Specified as smaller-sized and higher-tone quality within the LKS series, enabling designers to upgrade audio performance by replacing small standard parts.
• High ripple tolerance: 3.5 A ripple current (120 Hz) supports robust smoothing performance under low-frequency ripple loads.
• Durable under elevated temperature: Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C provides predictable aging characteristics for long-term designs.
• Snap-in reliability: Snap-in radial can package provides secure board retention and straightforward installation for production assembly.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) supports use in regulated product lines.
