LKX2D152MESB50

The LKX2D152MESB50 is a 1.5 mF (1500 μF) aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a 200 V rated voltage in a snap-in, radial can package. It is part of Nichicon’s LKX series engineered for audio equipment and switching power supplies.

Designed to operate across –40 °C to 105 °C and manufactured with selected materials to achieve superior acoustic sound, this RoHS-compliant capacitor provides bulk energy storage and ripple handling for demanding power applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.5 mF (1500 μF) rated at 200 V for bulk filtering and energy storage in power rails.
• High operating temperature: Specified for –40 °C to 105 °C, matching the 105 °C standard series performance expectations.
• Endurance: Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current, with capacitance change within ±20% after test.
• Ripple current capability: 2.8 A at 120 Hz and 4.2 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple in power supplies.
• Package & mounting: Radial, can-style snap-in terminal type for secure PCB retention and robust mechanical mounting in power modules.
• Acoustic-focused materials: Selected materials in the LKX series to support superior acoustic sound for audio applications.
• Polarized with ±20% tolerance: Polar capacitor with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), suitable for environmentally regulated assemblies.
• Compact footprint: Physical size L: 5 × D: 3 cm in a snap-in can suitable for power supply and audio module layouts.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment: Bulk and smoothing capacitor for audio power supplies where selected materials and 105 °C operation contribute to consistent acoustic performance.
• Switching Power Supplies: Energy storage and ripple suppression in SMPS designs, leveraging the part’s rated voltage and specified ripple current at multiple frequencies.
• General Purpose Power Electronics: Filtering and decoupling in industrial and consumer electronic power rails that require polarized snap-in capacitors with robust thermal endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 2000 hours rated life at 105 °C provides predictable aging behavior for designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• Multi-frequency ripple handling: Specified ripple currents (2.8 A at 120 Hz, 4.2 A at 50 kHz) support performance across both mains-frequency and high-frequency switching environments.
• Audio-focused material selection: Materials chosen within the LKX series to support superior acoustic sound, helping maintain audio fidelity when used in audio power stages.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Radial snap-in can package simplifies mechanical retention and assembly for power modules and chassis-mounted boards.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity reduces regulatory risk for assemblies targeted at global markets.
