LKG1C332MESACK

The LKG1C332MESACK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified at 3.3 mF (3300 µF) and 16 V. It is engineered for audio applications and designed to prioritize high‑fidelity sound quality in high‑grade and HD audio equipment.

With a snap‑in radial can package (φ25 × 30 mm) and polarized construction, this part combines compact board‑mount convenience with specifications tuned for audio power supply and smoothing use. It is RoHS compliant and rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V for energy storage and smoothing in audio power rails.
• Tolerance — ±20% capacitance tolerance, specified at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low‑loss Characteristic — tan δ of 0.57 (measurement frequency per series datasheet: 120 Hz, 20 °C), supporting audio‑grade performance.
• Ripple Handling — 2 A ripple current at 120 Hz (low frequency) for effective smoothing of low‑frequency power fluctuations.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C; meets the LKG series endurance criteria for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after the specified test.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40 °C to +85 °C for broad ambient use in audio equipment.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ25 × 30 mm, L: 30 mm, D: 25 mm) for secure board attachment and ease of assembly.
• Marking & Compliance — Marked with gold‑color lettering on a black sleeve; RoHS directive compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio amplifiers — Bulk smoothing and supply decoupling to support clean power delivery for high‑fidelity amplifiers.
• HD audio systems — Energy storage and ripple control where high tone quality is a priority in source or playback equipment.
• Audio power supplies — Low‑frequency ripple filtering and reservoir capacitance in multi‑stage audio PSUs.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused design: Specifically developed for high‑grade audio equipment to prioritize fidelity and tone quality.
• Measured loss characteristic: Specified tan δ helps designers assess frequency‑dependent loss for audio performance tuning.
• Practical ripple capability: 2 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz provides concrete guidance for low‑frequency power filtering in audio supplies.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ25 × 30 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals for robust mounting and space‑efficient layouts.
• Endurance data: 1000 hours at 85 °C rating enables assessment of long‑term stability under elevated operating temperature.
• RoHS compliant: Meets directive requirements for environmental compliance in equipment manufacturing.
