LKG1C222MESYBK

The LKG1C222MESYBK is a snap-in, aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series engineered for audio equipment. It offers 2,200 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact radial can with snap-in terminals, designed for power filtering and energy storage in audio applications.

Key value comes from its combination of high capacitance in a small φ20 × 20 mm package, audio-focused design lineage, and defined reliability characteristics including 1,000 hours of endurance at 85°C.

Key Features

• Core Electrical — 2.2 mF (2,200 µF) capacitance with ±20% tolerance, polarized configuration for DC smoothing and bulk energy storage.
• Voltage Rating — Rated for 16 V operation to suit low-voltage audio power rails.
• Loss and Leakage — Specified tan δ of 0.35 at 20°C and 120 Hz and a leakage current listed at 560 µA, enabling predictable performance in audio circuits.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 1.1 A at 120 Hz, allowing effective rejection of supply ripple in audio power supplies.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can (φ20 × 20 mm) for secure board mounting and convenient assembly in chassis or power modules.
• Reliability & Temperature — Designed for -40°C to +85°C operating range with endurance specified as 1,000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-Fidelity Audio Equipment — Bulk energy storage and supply smoothing in high-grade audio amplifiers and playback systems where stable supply rails are required.
• Audio Power Supplies — Filtering and ripple reduction in DC power supplies for mixers, preamps, and other studio equipment.
• Consumer and Professional Audio Devices — Decoupling and reservoir capacitance for devices that prioritize clean audio reproduction.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-capacitance package: 2,200 µF in a φ20 × 20 mm can reduces board space for audio power rail designs.
• Audio-focused design lineage: From the LKG series tailored for audio equipment, providing component selection aligned with high-fidelity applications.
• Predictable ripple performance: 1.1 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports effective smoothing of low-frequency ripple commonly encountered in audio power supplies.
• Defined endurance at elevated temperature: 1,000 hours at 85°C with specified limits for capacitance, dissipation factor, and leakage current for reliable operation over the stated life.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to applicable RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious designs.
