Designed with high‑fidelity audio use in mind, this part combines large bulk capacitance with a low‑frequency ripple current capability and 1,000‑hour endurance at elevated temperature to support audio power systems and related circuits.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 22,000 µF nominal capacitance (±20% tolerance) for substantial bulk energy storage in audio applications.
• Snap‑In Radial Package — Snap‑in, radial can package (φ25 × 45 mm) for secure PCB mounting and easy assembly; tray packing.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V nominal rated voltage suitable for common audio power rails.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low frequency ripple current of 2.95 A at 120 Hz, enabling handling of power supply ripple in audio circuits.
• Electrical Losses — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.35 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for loss characterization in circuit design.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,770 µA (measured after rated voltage application), enabling predictable bias behavior.
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with endurance of 1,000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage per datasheet conditions.
• Polarized Device — Polarized aluminum electrolytic suitable for typical DC power applications in audio systems.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Equipment — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in high‑grade audio systems where large capacitance supports stable power rails.
• Professional Audio Amplifiers — Support for amplifier power supply sections requiring high capacitance and measurable ripple handling at 120 Hz.
• HD Audio Systems — Component selection aligned with the LKG series’ focus on high‑tone quality for HD audio equipment.
