The LKG1C392MESABK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified at 3900 μF and 16 V with ±20% tolerance. It is part of the LKG family designed for audio equipment and prioritizes high‑fidelity sound quality for high‑grade and HD audio applications.

This radial, can‑style snap‑in capacitor provides a compact footprint (φ25 × 20 mm) with electrical characteristics suited to audio power supply and filtering tasks, backed by datasheet specifications for temperature range, endurance and measurable leakage behavior.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3900 μF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio‑Grade Design — Part of the LKG series engineered for use in high‑grade audio and HD audio equipment, with construction and materials selected to prioritize sound quality.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap‑in terminals; physical size φ25 × 20 mm (L: 2.0 cm × D: 2.5 cm) for compact assemblies requiring secure snap‑in mounting.
• Thermal and Endurance — Operates from −40°C to +85°C and rated for 1000 hours at 85°C under endurance testing conditions per the datasheet.
• Electrical Performance — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.35 and rated ripple current of 1.55 A at 120 Hz; leakage current defined by the datasheet limit of not more than 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C.
• Marking — Printed with gold‑colored lettering on a black sleeve for clear identification.
• Environmental Compliance & Status — RoHS compliant. Product status: End of Life / Discontinued.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Designed for use in professional and consumer HD audio systems where capacitor characteristics impact perceived sound quality.
• Audio amplifiers — Suitable for power supply smoothing and bulk energy storage in amplifier power rails within the specified voltage and ripple ratings.
• Signal and power filtering for audio electronics — Used where low loss (specified tan δ) and defined ripple handling at 120 Hz are required to support audio performance.

Unique Advantages

• Tailored for high‑fidelity audio: Built within the LKG series with a design focus on delivering the tone quality required by high‑grade and HD audio equipment.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ25 × 20 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals provides a secure mechanical mount in a small footprint.
• Measurable electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ (0.35) and ripple current (1.55 A at 120 Hz) give designers clear parameters for audio power supply design.
• Defined leakage behavior: Leakage current limit follows the datasheet formula (≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C), enabling predictable bias performance.
• Temperature and endurance data: Rated −40°C to +85°C with endurance proven at 1000 hours at 85°C in the datasheet, supporting reliability planning for product lifecycles.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant, meeting applicable directive requirements cited in the datasheet.
