LKG1C472MESBCK

The LKG1C472MESBCK is a Nichicon LKG series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio applications. It is a polarized, radial snap‑in can delivering 4700 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating and optimized for high‑fidelity audio equipment.

Engineered for audio use, the component combines large capacitance, a compact φ30 × 30 mm can, and performance characteristics tuned for sound applications, with a rated operating range from −40 °C to +85 °C and a 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Audio‑focused design — Part of the LKG series specified “For Audio Use” and intended for high‑grade audio equipment and HD audio applications.
• High capacitance — 4700 µF (4.7 mF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) for substantial charge storage in audio circuits.
• Rated voltage — 16 V working voltage suitable for a variety of low‑voltage audio power rails.
• Low‑frequency ripple handling — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 2.7 A at 120 Hz to support dynamic audio loads.
• Loss and leakage — Tan δ (DF) of 0.25 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and leakage current specified at 820 µA, providing predictable electrical behavior for audio applications.
• Robust mechanical package — Snap‑in radial can (φ30 × 30 mm) for secure chassis or PCB mounting; packaged in trays for handling and assembly.
• Wide temperature and endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C as defined by the series.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio equipment — Specified for use in high grade audio systems where tone quality and stable filtering are important.
• Audio power supply modules — Useful in audio power rails within amplifiers and preamplifiers that require substantial bulk capacitance.
• Professional audio electronics — Designed for professional and consumer HD audio devices that prioritize sound quality.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑oriented specification: The LKG series is explicitly designed for audio use and high tone quality, aligning component selection with system sound goals.
• High energy storage in a compact can: 4700 µF in a φ30 × 30 mm package provides significant capacitance where board or chassis space is limited.
• Predictable performance: Specified tan δ and leakage current values at 20 °C/120 Hz support consistent electrical behavior in audio circuits.
• Ripple current capability: 2.7 A (120 Hz) low‑frequency ripple rating helps the capacitor handle dynamic current demands typical in audio power stages.
• Durability at elevated temperature: 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C provides a defined reliability metric for thermal stress in enclosure environments.
