Overview of LKG1C152MESACK – 1500 µF, 16 V Snap‑in Audio Grade Electrolytic Capacitor
The LKG1C152MESACK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal radial can, engineered for high‑grade audio equipment where fidelity is a priority. It delivers 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating with a TYPE‑I, low‑profile, high‑tone quality electrolyte construction.
Key electrical and mechanical attributes include a 25 mm diameter by 20 mm length package, a measured tanδ of 0.25, an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, and a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C. The part is RoHS compliant.
Key Features
- Audio‑Grade Construction Designed specifically for high‑grade and HD audio equipment with a TYPE‑I low‑profile, high‑tone quality electrolyte formulation focused on sound fidelity.
- Capacitance and Voltage 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
- Electrical Loss Characteristic Specified tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.25 (measurement frequency: 120 Hz at 20 °C) to characterize dissipation for audio applications.
- Temperature and Endurance Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage.
- Ripple Current Capability Specified ripple current of 1.1 A at 120 Hz for low‑frequency ripple handling in audio power circuits.
- Package and Mounting Radial can, snap‑in terminal package sized L: 20 mm × D: 25 mm for secure chassis or board mounting and compact low‑profile installations.
- Identification Printed with gold color lettering on a black sleeve for clear part identification consistent with the series marking.
- Environmental Compliance Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- High‑grade audio equipment — Used where capacitor selection prioritizes sound quality and tonal characteristics in audio circuitry.
- HD Audio systems — Suitable for designs targeting high‑definition audio performance that require audio‑grade electrolytic capacitors.
- Compact audio assemblies — Low‑profile snap‑in package accommodates space‑constrained audio electronics while providing required capacitance and ripple handling.
Unique Advantages
- Audio‑focused electrolyte and construction: TYPE‑I formulation and series design emphasize tone quality for fidelity‑centric audio applications.
- Defined electrical performance: 1500 µF at 16 V with a specified tanδ of 0.25 and ±20% tolerance gives designers clear, testable parameters for circuit behavior.
- Durability under rated stress: 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C supports predictable long‑term performance when operated within specified limits.
- Practical ripple handling: 1.1 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz addresses common low‑frequency ripple conditions found in audio power circuits.
- Compact snap‑in package: 25 mm diameter and 20 mm length in a snap‑in radial can provides a low‑profile mounting option for tight layouts.
- RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS directive requirements for environmentally regulated designs.
