Overview of LKG1C273MESCBK – Aluminum Electrolytic Snap‑in Capacitor, 27,000 µF, 16 V
The LKG1C273MESCBK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can package designed for high‑grade audio equipment. It delivers a high bulk capacitance of 27,000 µF at a rated voltage of 16 V with a ±20% tolerance, tailored for audio power supply smoothing and high‑fidelity applications.
Part of Nichicon’s LKG series—available in TYPE‑I (Gold Tune), TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) and TYPE‑III (Super Through) grades—the LKG1C273MESCBK combines audio‑focused electrical characteristics (0.45 tanδ at 20°C, 120 Hz) with robust operating limits and RoHS compliance for professional HD audio use.
Key Features
- Electrolytic Core 27,000 µF capacitance at 16 V nominal with ±20% tolerance for substantial energy storage in audio power supplies.
- Snap‑in Radial Can Package Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction for secure board mounting and mechanical stability in rack and chassis assemblies.
- Audio‑grade Tuning Options LKG series grades (TYPE‑I, TYPE‑II, TYPE‑III) allow selection between low‑profile high tone quality, center grade sound, and highest tone quality with gold‑plated terminal options described in the series documentation.
- Specified Loss Characteristics tan δ = 0.45 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, providing a quantified dissipation specification for audio designers.
- Ripple Current Ratings Product data specifies ripple current of 3.35 Arms for the φ35×30 mm configuration; specifications also list 4.25 A at 120 Hz for low‑frequency ripple performance.
- Temperature Range and Endurance Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C per the LKG series specifications.
- Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863.
Typical Applications
- High‑grade Audio Equipment Use in premium consumer and professional audio devices where high capacitance supports sustained power demands and contributes to fidelity.
- Audio Amplifier Power Rails Bulk energy storage and ripple handling for power supply smoothing in amplifier stages.
- HD Audio Systems Components for systems targeting high tone quality, leveraging the LKG series’ grade options to match sonic goals.
- Professional Audio Racks and Studio Gear Robust snap‑in mounting and rated endurance make this capacitor suitable for installed audio equipment and pro‑audio enclosures.
Unique Advantages
- High Bulk Capacitance: 27,000 µF provides substantial energy reserve for sustaining supply rails under dynamic audio loads.
