LKX2E561MESC25

The LKX2E561MESC25 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for power and audio equipment applications. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a radial can snap‑in package intended for robust power filtering and bulk energy storage.

Built for sustained operation up to 105°C, the device targets switching power supplies, audio equipment, and other general purpose power circuits that require high voltage handling, measurable ripple capability, and long endurance under thermal stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable bulk energy storage in high‑voltage rails.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting (radial, can) for secure board retention and reliable mechanical connection in power assemblies.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with a 2000 hour endurance at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Handling — Low‑frequency ripple capability of 1.5 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple capability of 2.25 A at 100 kHz to support switching and smoothing duties.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.15 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), aiding stability and predictable dissipation in AC conditions.
• Leakage Current — Typical specified leakage current up to 1120 µA after rated voltage application, suitable for power circuits with tolerable stand‑by currents.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant construction for environmentally constrained designs.
• Production & Packaging — Mass production status with tray packing for scalable assembly and handling.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Bulk filtering and power reservoir use in audio power supplies where stable capacitance and low loss contribute to consistent performance.
• Switching Power Supplies — Input/output smoothing and energy storage to support switching regulators, leveraging the component’s rated voltage and ripple capability.
• General Purpose Power Systems — High‑voltage filtering and decoupling in industrial and commercial power electronics that require durable, polarized capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 250 V rating enables use on higher voltage rails without series strings or complex arrangements.
• Designed for High‑Temperature Duty: 2000 hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable long‑term performance in thermally demanding environments.
• Measured Ripple Ratings: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies allow designers to size capacitors against real system ripple profiles.
• Low Dissipation Factor: tan δ = 0.15 ensures controlled dielectric losses for stable thermal behavior under AC stress.
• RoHS Compliance and Production Readiness: Environmentally compliant construction and tray packing support volume manufacturing and regulatory requirements.
