Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the LKSN2562MESA is determined by the following criteria:

• Capacitance value: 5600 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.984" Dia × 1.654" Height (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: Equal to or greater than 56 V (minimum requirement)

The substitute part 63MXG5600MEFCSN25X40 meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements while providing enhanced performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 63MXG5600MEFCSN25X40 from Rubycon is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute for the obsolete LKSN2562MESA. The substitute maintains identical physical dimensions, lead spacing, and capacitance specifications while providing a higher voltage rating (63 V versus 56 V), which ensures compatibility in the original application circuit.

The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 compliance classifications. The Rubycon MXG series component is RoHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 63MXG5600MEFCSN25X40 be used as a direct replacement for LKSN2562MESA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (5600 µF), tolerance (±20%), physical dimensions (0.984" diameter × 1.654" height), lead spacing (10.00mm), and snap-in package configuration. The substitute's higher voltage rating (63 V) is compatible with circuits designed for 56 V operation.

Q: What is the significance of the higher voltage rating on the substitute part?

A: A 63 V rated capacitor can safely operate at 56 V without performance degradation. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and does not affect circuit functionality.

Q: Are the mechanical mounting characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are through-hole mounted radial, can snap-in packages with identical lead spacing and physical dimensions, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 63MXG5600MEFCSN25X40 is RoHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes, matching the regulatory profile of the original part.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: The LKSN2562MESA has been discontinued by Nichicon. The substitute part from Rubycon maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability for replacement and new production applications.
