LKX2E102MESC35

The LKX2E102MESC35 is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LKX series, specified for audio equipment and switching power supplies. It provides 1000 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a radial, snap-in can (φ35 × 35 mm) designed for robust power filtering and energy storage in high-temperature environments.

Engineered for reliability at elevated temperatures, this capacitor is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and offers high ripple-current capability across low and high frequencies, making it suitable for demanding power-supply and audio power-rail applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF (1 mF) nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and ±20% capacitance tolerance for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Snap-in Radial Package — φ35 × 35 mm radial, can-type snap-in construction for secure chassis or PCB mounting in power assemblies.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting long-term operation in elevated temperature environments.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.2 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.3 A (50 kHz) for effective smoothing across switching and low-frequency domains.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Specified tanδ of 0.15 and leakage current of 1500 µA, providing known loss characteristics for thermal and power-loss budgeting.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +105°C to accommodate a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Manufacturing & Compliance — Tray packed for production handling and listed as mass production; RoHS compliant.
• Audio-oriented Materials — Selected materials in the LKX series to support superior acoustic performance for audio applications.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Bulk filtering and power smoothing in amplifier power rails where material selection and low-loss characteristics contribute to sound quality.
• Switching Power Supplies — DC bus and output filtering where high ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies is required.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Energy storage and decoupling in industrial and commercial electronics that require a 250 V rating and high-temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High-Temperature Reliability: 2000-hour rating at 105°C ensures sustained performance under thermal stress and bias.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow designers to address both mains-frequency and switching-frequency noise with a single component.
• Predictable Loss Characteristics: tanδ of 0.15 and defined leakage current simplify thermal and leakage budgeting in power designs.
• Robust Mounting: Snap-in radial can package provides mechanical stability for high-vibration or high-reliability assemblies.
• Audio-focused Material Selection: LKX series materials are selected to support acoustic performance in audio applications, aligning component choice with system-level sound goals.
• Production-ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass-production status support rapid BOM fulfillment and manufacturing scale-up.
