Overview of LKG1C332MESZBK – Snap-In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 3.3 mF / 16 V
The LKG1C332MESZBK is a Nichicon LKG-series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor optimized for audio equipment. It provides 3.3 mF (3300 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact radial snap-in can (φ22 × 20 mm).
Designed for high-grade and HD audio applications, this capacitor combines substantial low-frequency ripple handling with defined loss and leakage characteristics, and is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C with a 1000-hour endurance at 85°C.
Key Features
- Electrical Capacity — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal capacitance at 16 V with a tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable bulk energy storage.
- Ripple & Loss Characteristics — Low-frequency ripple current rated at 1.5 A (120 Hz) and a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.35 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling defined performance under audio power conditions.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 680 µA supporting stable bias behavior after voltage application.
- Audio-Focused Design — Part of the LKG series developed "For Audio Use" and targeted at high-grade audio equipment and HD audio systems.
- Mechanical & Mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can package suitable for secure board mounting; standard dimensions φ22 × 20 mm and tray packing for handling and assembly.
- Reliability & Lifetime — Rated operating temperature −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20% and controlled tanδ and leakage after the test.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction.
Typical Applications
- High-Fidelity Audio Equipment — Suitable for use in high-grade audio systems where large capacitance and controlled loss characteristics are required.
- HD Audio Systems — Intended for HD audio designs that prioritize tonal quality and stable power delivery.
- Studio and Professional Audio — Appropriate for professional audio modules within the LKG series’ audio-focused design intent.
Unique Advantages
- High Capacitance in a Compact Can — 3.3 mF in a φ22 × 20 mm package enables significant bulk capacitance where board area is limited.
- Defined Ripple Handling — 1.5 A ripple rating at 120 Hz supports audio power-stage demands with documented performance.
- Audio-Targeted Series — Part of the LKG family designed specifically "For Audio Use," aligning component selection with audio product goals.
- Predictable Loss and Leakage — Specified tanδ (0.35 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (680 µA) provide measurable parameters for system-level design and simulation.
- Temperature and Endurance Specification — Rated across −40°C to +85°C with a 1000-hour endurance at 85°C, enabling evaluation for expected thermal environments.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free production environments.
