LKG1C332MESCCK

The LKG1C332MESCCK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in (radial can) capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified at 3300 µF and 16 V. It is designed for audio use and the LKG series is developed to prioritize high‑fidelity sound quality for high‑grade audio equipment.

This part is a TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade snap‑in capacitor with features and electrical characteristics tuned for audio applications that require substantial capacitance, measurable low‑frequency ripple handling, and stable performance across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing significant energy reserve for audio circuits.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rated voltage suitable for many audio power rail applications requiring moderate voltage headroom.
• Low‑Frequency Ripple Handling — 1.95 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz for reliable low‑frequency performance in power supply and filtering roles.
• Leakage and Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 680 µA and tan δ (loss tangent) of 0.25 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable loss and standby behavior.
• Audio‑Focused Grade — TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade with gold‑tune design emphasis from the LKG series, intended to meet high tone quality needs in HD audio equipment.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ35 × 20 mm), designed for secure board mounting and tray packing for production handling.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Intended for use in circuits where high tone quality and audio fidelity are priorities.
• Audio power modules — Applicable where 16 V rated capacitors with multi‑milliamp ripple capability and substantial capacitance are required.
• Board designs requiring snap‑in mounting — Snap‑in radial can package for robust mechanical retention and straightforward assembly in tray packing.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑oriented design — Part of the LKG family developed specifically for high‑fidelity audio, offering tone quality characteristics associated with the series.
• High energy density at moderate voltage — 3300 µF at 16 V delivers substantial smoothing or coupling capacity in a compact φ35 × 20 mm can.
• Measured low‑frequency performance — 1.95 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports demanding low‑frequency smoothing tasks in audio supplies.
• Stable electrical characteristics — Specified tan δ and leakage current values (0.25 and 680 µA respectively) allow predictable behavior in audio signal and power circuits.
• Designed for reliability — 1000‑hour endurance at 85°C under rated voltage provides a defined qualification for thermal and electrical stress.
• Manufacturing friendly — Snap‑in radial can with tray packing simplifies handling and board assembly for volume production.
