Overview of LKG1C272MESYCK – Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 2.7 mF, 16 V
The LKG1C272MESYCK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, specified at 2.7 mF (2700 µF) and 16 V. It is supplied in a radial, snap‑in can package (φ20×35L) and is tailored for audio equipment where stable bulk capacitance and low‑frequency ripple handling are required.
Key electrical characteristics include a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 1.75 A (120 Hz), leakage current of 620 µA, and endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C. The part is RoHS compliant and delivered in tray packing for board‑level assembly.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) nominal capacitance at a 16 V rating with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Audio‑Focused Design — Part of Nichicon's LKG series designed for high‑grade audio equipment, prioritizing high‑fidelity sound quality according to the series specification.
- Ripple Current & Leakage — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 1.75 A (measured at 120 Hz) and a specified leakage current of 620 µA for power smoothing in audio supplies.
- Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated life of 1000 hours at 85 °C and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C to support elevated‑temperature operation.
- Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ20 × 35 mm) for secure chassis or PCB mounting; supplied in tray packing for controlled handling and assembly.
- Compliance — RoHS compliant as indicated in the product data.
Typical Applications
- High‑grade audio amplifiers — Bulk smoothing and power reservoir duties where stable capacitance and ripple handling support low‑distortion playback.
