Overview of LKX2W121MESY45 – Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 450 V, 120 µF
The LKX2W121MESY45 is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for use in switching power supplies for audio equipment. It delivers a 120 µF capacitance at a 450 V rating in a radial, can-type snap‑in package suited for secure PCB mounting.
Built from selected materials aimed at superior acoustic performance, this RoHS‑compliant capacitor targets designers who need high‑voltage filtering with 105°C temperature capability and defined long‑term endurance for reliable operation in audio power systems.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 120 µF nominal capacitance with a 450 V rated voltage; capacitance tolerance ±20% (–20% to +20%).
- Package & Mounting — Radial, can-type snap‑in package for secure snap‑in PCB mounting in power supply assemblies.
- Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated bias and ripple conditions.
- Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 720 mA at 120 Hz and 1.03 A at 50 kHz, suitable for filtering and decoupling in switching supplies.
- Polarization — Polar terminal configuration for DC power applications.
- Acoustic‑Focused Materials — Manufactured with selected materials intended to support superior acoustic sound in audio equipment applications.
- Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).
- Leakage Current Specification — Meets the datasheet leakage current criterion I ≤ 3√3V (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C when rated voltage is applied.
Typical Applications
- Switch‑mode power supplies for audio equipment — High‑voltage smoothing and bulk storage where stable filtering at elevated temperatures is required.
- Audio amplifier power rails — DC link and supply filtering that benefits from materials chosen for acoustic performance.
- General high‑voltage power filtering — Use in industrial or consumer equipment requiring 450 V electrolytic capacitance and snap‑in mounting.
