LKG1C152MESYCK

The LKG1C152MESYCK is a Nichicon LKG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a snap‑in terminal configuration, 1.5 mF nominal capacitance and a 16 V rated voltage. It is polarized and designed for audio equipment where low loss and robust power‑handling are important.

As a TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade part within the LKG family, this component features audio‑focused construction and gold‑tune terminals, delivering electrical characteristics suited to high‑grade audio applications while meeting RoHS requirements.

Key Features

• Audio‑grade construction (TYPE‑III Super Through) TYPE‑III grade with gold‑tune terminal design intended for high tone quality in audio equipment.
• Electrical performance 1.5 mF nominal capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance, tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.25, and specified leakage current (460 µA).
• Ripple and low‑frequency performance Rated ripple current 1.1 A at 120 Hz, with defined low‑temperature impedance ratios (Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 4; Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 12 for rated voltages).
• Mounting and package Snap‑in radial can (φ20 × 25 mm) for secure panel or chassis mounting in audio equipment.
• Temperature and endurance Operating range −40°C to +85°C with endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Used for power supply filtering and decoupling where low loss and audio‑grade terminals improve sonic performance.
• Audio power supplies — Supports smoothing and ripple handling in regulated and discrete audio power rails.
• Signal coupling and decoupling in audio circuitry — Provides reliable polarized capacitance for preamp stages and other audio signal paths.
• Professional audio equipment — Suited to mixers, processors and other high‑grade audio hardware requiring vetted endurance and temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused terminal design: TYPE‑III gold‑tune terminals are specified for high tone quality, targeting designers building high‑grade audio systems.
• High ripple capability: 1.1 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports demanding power‑filtering roles in audio power supplies.
• Low loss characteristic: tan δ = 0.25 helps minimize dissipation in signal‑critical audio paths.
• Compact snap‑in package: φ20 × 25 mm radial snap‑in can provides a secure mechanical mounting option for chassis installations.
• Wide temperature and proven endurance: −40°C to +85°C operating range with 1000‑hour endurance at 85°C offers predictable performance over the specified lifetime.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports designs targeting environmental-directive requirements.
