LKG1C223MESBAK

The LKG1C223MESBAK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LKG series, engineered for audio equipment and high‑fidelity applications. It delivers large bulk capacitance (22,000 µF) at a rated voltage of 16 V in a compact φ30 × 35 mm can with snap‑in mounting for secure PCB retention.

Key advantages include a specified ripple current handling of 2.9 A (120 Hz), a measured tanδ of 0.35, RoHS compliance, and an endurance rating of 1,000 hours at 85 °C—attributes that support stable power smoothing and energy storage in audio power supplies and related circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22,000 µF rated capacitance at 16 V for substantial bulk energy storage in low‑voltage audio supplies.
• Tolerance — ±20% capacitance tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) for predictable performance in design margins.
• Ripple Current — 2.9 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing under AC ripple in power rails.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage performance (product data lists 1,770 µA), suitable for low‑frequency power storage applications.
• Dissipation Factor (tan δ) — 0.35 (measurement conditions per product data), useful for evaluating equivalent series losses in audio circuits.
• Endurance — Rated for 1,000 hours at 85 °C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after test recovery.
• Operating Temperature — −40 °C to +85 °C to accommodate a wide range of ambient conditions typical in professional and consumer audio gear.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in, radial can package (φ30 × 35 mm) for secure board anchoring and serviceable installation in chassis or PCB assemblies.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and ripple smoothing for amplifier rails and preamp supplies where large capacitance and low loss are required.
• Professional Audio Equipment — Power filtering in studio amplifiers, mixing consoles, and other pro audio systems that require stable DC under dynamic load.
• Consumer High‑End Audio — Filter and reservoir capacitor for home receivers and integrated amplifiers, supporting clearer supply delivery during transient demands.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance — 22,000 µF provides significant energy reserve for low‑voltage audio supplies, reducing voltage sag on load transients.
• Designed for Audio — Part of Nichicon’s LKG series, which is specified for audio equipment and focused on sound quality considerations.
• Robust Ripple Handling — 2.9 A ripple current (120 Hz) supports sustained AC ripple conditions common in power supply filtering.
• Thermal Endurance — 1,000‑hour rating at 85 °C gives a defined reliability metric for design lifetime planning.
• Secure Snap‑in Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package facilitates mechanical stability and straightforward board placement.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious product builds.
