LKG1C222MESBCK

The LKG1C222MESBCK from Nichicon is a snap‑in, radial aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKG series engineered for audio applications. It provides 2.2 mF (2200 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating with polarized construction and snap‑in mounting for robust board retention and easy assembly.

Designed with audio equipment in mind, this capacitor delivers measurable performance attributes—including low‑frequency ripple handling, defined loss tangent and controlled leakage—backed by a 1000‑hour endurance at 85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF (2200 µF) nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and a tolerance of −20% to +20% (±20%).
• Audio‑Oriented Design — Part of the LKG series specified “For Audio Use,” developed for high‑grade audio equipment and HD audio performance priorities.
• Electrical Performance — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.25 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz; low‑frequency ripple current specified at 1.35 A (120 Hz); leakage current specified at 560 µA.
• Endurance & Temperature — Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C; operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in, radial can package: size φ30 × 20L (approx. D: 3 cm × L: 2 cm) and tray packing for board‑level assembly.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized capacitor suitable for DC power and filtering roles in audio circuits.
• RoHS Compliant & Marking — RoHS‑compliant; series marking uses gold color printing on a black sleeve as specified in the series documentation.

Typical Applications

• Audio Power Supplies — Bulk and smoothing capacitance in amplifier and preamplifier power rails where 16 V operation and high audio fidelity are required.
• Audio Signal Conditioning — Energy storage and decoupling in analog audio stages that benefit from tuned electrical characteristics and low ripple handling.
• High‑Grade Consumer and Pro Audio Equipment — Use in designs prioritizing sound quality and stable performance across −40°C to +85°C operating range.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Specification — Part of Nichicon’s LKG series expressly developed for audio, aligning component selection with sound‑quality objectives.
• Measured AC Performance — Specified tan δ and low‑frequency ripple current values let engineers evaluate loss and ripple handling directly against design requirements.
• Robust Thermal Endurance — 1000 hours at 85°C endurance rating supports sustained performance under elevated operating temperatures.
• Installation‑Friendly Package — Snap‑in radial can simplifies mechanical retention and assembly compared with leaded alternatives for through‑hole production lines.
• Clear Identification — Series marking with gold lettering on a black sleeve assists visual verification and inventory control in manufacturing environments.
