Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LKSA2562MESZ is based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 5600 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.866" Dia × 1.654" Height (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C (minimum requirement)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Allowable Variations:

• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or higher than 42 V
• Lifetime @ Temperature: May be equal to or higher than 1000 Hrs @ 85°C
• Ripple Current: May be equal to or higher than specified values

The substitute part 50USG5600MEFCSN22X40 meets all mandatory parameters and exceeds performance specifications in voltage rating (50 V vs. 42 V) and lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 85°C vs. 1000 Hrs @ 85°C).
