LKG1C182MESZCK

The LKG1C182MESZCK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, purpose‑built for high‑grade audio equipment. It offers 1.8 mF capacitance at 16 V in a compact φ22 × 25 mm can with snap‑in mounting and is supplied in tray packing.

Designed to support audio system power filtering and decoupling, this capacitor combines a high capacitance density with audio‑focused design choices from the LKG family and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance rated at 16 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in low‑voltage audio rails.
• Audio‑Oriented LKG Series — Part of the LKG family designed "For Audio Use" with grade coding indicating TYPE‑III (Super Through) quality features from the series specification.
• Snap‑In Package — Radial, can‑type snap‑in mounting for secure chassis or PCB retention in power modules and audio amplifiers.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C as specified for the series.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) = 0.25 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz; leakage current listed as 500 µA in product data.
• Tolerance & Polarity — Capacitance tolerance ±20% and polarized construction for correct circuit orientation.
• Size & Packaging — Compact dimensions φ22 × 25 mm (diameter × length) and tray packing for production handling.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant as stated in the product data.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio equipment — Suited to power supply smoothing and decoupling in high‑grade audio amplifiers and preamplifiers where the LKG series is specified for audio use.
• Audio power modules — Bulk energy storage and low‑frequency ripple handling in low‑voltage audio power rails.
• Chassis‑mounted power supplies — Snap‑in mounting enables secure mechanical retention in compact audio power assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused series design — Part of Nichicon’s LKG family specified for audio applications, providing consistency with other audio‑grade components.
• Compact, high‑capacity package — 1.8 mF in a φ22 × 25 mm can enables significant capacitance in a small footprint for constrained audio assemblies.
• Snap‑in mounting for secure installation — Radial snap‑in terminals simplify installation and mechanical retention in power subassemblies.
• Rated endurance at elevated temperature — 1000 hours at 85 °C gives a defined life expectation for thermal design considerations.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS requirements stated in the product data, supporting regulated product builds.
• Series‑level tone quality grading — The LKG series documentation identifies grade coding (TYPE‑III / CK) targeting the highest tone quality within the series.
