LKG1C333MESCBK

The LKG1C333MESCBK from Nichicon is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKG series, specified for audio use and designed for high‑grade audio equipment where fidelity matters. It delivers 33,000 μF of capacitance at a 16 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can package.

This part is a TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) grade component, offering characteristics targeted at audio applications. Note: the part status is End Of Life—please verify availability when planning production designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 33,000 μF rated capacitance at 16 V, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), providing substantial bulk energy storage for power rails in audio systems.
• Audio‑Focused Grade — Identified as TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) in the LKG series and explicitly specified “For Audio Use,” tailored for high‑fidelity audio equipment.
• Electrical Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 4.5 A at 120 Hz and a measured tan δ (DF) of 0.57 at 20°C/120 Hz; leakage current specified at 2,170 μA.
• Endurance & Reliability — Rated for 1,000 hours at 85°C (endurance condition), with operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package (φ35 × 45L) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Regulatory — RoHS‑compliant per the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Bulk storage and smoothing for amplifier power supplies where large capacitance and ripple handling are required.
• Professional audio equipment — Power rail decoupling and energy buffering in mixers, preamps, and studio electronics that prioritize sound quality.
• Consumer high‑end audio systems — Energy storage and filtering in power supply sections of home audio components designed for improved tonal performance.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial bulk capacitance — 33,000 μF provides significant energy reserve for low‑frequency support and power stability in audio power supplies.
• Ripple handling aligned to audio needs — 4.5 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports sustained filtering and smoothing under typical audio power conditions.
• Audio‑centric designation — TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) grade and LKG series focus on tone quality, matching the expectations of high‑grade audio designs.
• Wide operating temperature range — −40°C to +85°C operation and 1,000‑hour endurance at 85°C support reliability across typical environmental conditions for audio equipment.
• Tray packing for production — Supplied in tray packing to assist in handling and automated assembly workflows.

Why Choose LKG1C333MESCBK?

The LKG1C333MESCBK is positioned as an audio‑focused aluminum electrolytic solution for designs requiring very large capacitance in a snap‑in radial can. Its combination of 33,000 μF bulk storage, 4.5 A ripple rating at 120 Hz, and TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) designation makes it suitable for engineers specifying components for high‑fidelity audio power supplies and professional audio electronics.

Manufactured by Nichicon and part of the LKG series, this capacitor provides clear, verifiable specifications for capacitance, ripple, leakage, temperature range, and endurance—helpful for BOM planning, thermal budgeting, and reliability assessments. Because the part is End Of Life, confirm stock and discuss suitable alternatives if long‑term production continuity is required.
