LKX2D271MESZ25

The LKX2D271MESZ25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKX series, designed for audio equipment and switching power supplies. It delivers 270 µF capacitance at a 200 V rating with a rated operating temperature up to 105 °C and materials selected to support superior acoustic performance.

Its snap‑in radial can package and polarization make it suitable for general‑purpose power filtering and energy storage in environments that demand elevated temperature endurance and reliable ripple handling.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (–20% to +20%).
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from –40 °C to 105 °C with a guaranteed endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Handles 0.990 A at 120 Hz and 1.485 A at 50 kHz, supporting both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple environments.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package — Snap‑in mounting for secure chassis or PCB installation; package dimensions L: 2.5 cm × D: 2.2 cm (22 × 25 mm form factor).
• Audio‑Oriented Materials — Selected materials intended to achieve superior acoustic sound for audio equipment applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and energy storage where 200 V voltage rating and robust ripple handling are required.
• Audio Equipment — Power supply decoupling and smoothing with materials chosen to support high‑quality acoustic performance.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Use in industrial and consumer power modules that need a polarized aluminum electrolytic in a snap‑in format.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for Elevated Temperatures: 105 °C rating and 2000‑hour endurance provide predictable performance in high‑temperature operating environments.
• Broad Ripple Performance: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz helps address switching and audio frequency ripple demands.
• Secure Snap‑In Mounting: Radial can snap‑in package simplifies mechanical retention and installation in chassis or power assemblies.
• Audio‑Focused Material Selection: Materials are selected within the LKX series to support superior acoustic characteristics for sound‑sensitive designs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in products requiring restriction of hazardous substances.
