LKG1C562MESBCK

The LKG1C562MESBCK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified for high‑grade audio equipment. This Type‑III (Super Through) unit is built for audio applications that require large bulk capacitance, stable low‑frequency ripple handling, and audio‑oriented construction details.

With 5600 µF capacitance at 16 V, a rated operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C and 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C, the part balances significant energy storage with audio-focused electrical characteristics such as a 0.25 tanδ (DF) at 20 °C / 120 Hz and low leakage current.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5600 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C), providing substantial bulk storage for audio power rails.
• Audio‑Grade Construction — Type‑III (Super Through) grade from the LKG series; designed for high‑grade audio equipment and prioritizes high‑fidelity sound quality.
• Terminal Finish — Gold‑plated snap‑in terminals to minimize contact drag and support the series’ tone‑quality objectives.
• Power Handling — 2.9 A low‑frequency ripple current rating at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and filtering in audio power supplies.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 890 µA and a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.25 at 20 °C / 120 Hz, enabling predictable bias and dissipation behavior.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C; endurance characteristics are defined for restoration to 20 °C after the rated voltage is applied.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can (tray packing) with dimensions φ30 × 35L (D: 30 mm × L: 35 mm), for robust chassis mounting in audio equipment.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction.
• Polarity — Polarized capacitor intended for DC applications common in audio power stages.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio power supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage for amplifier rails where sustained charge delivery and low ripple are required.
• Professional audio amplifiers — Filtering and decoupling in power sections of studio and live sound amplifiers that require stable low‑frequency performance.
• Home and consumer audio equipment — Power smoothing in high‑grade preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers designed for high‑fidelity reproduction.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused grade (Type‑III): Engineered within the LKG series to prioritize tone quality and meet high‑fidelity requirements for HD audio equipment.
• Gold‑plated terminals for reduced contact drag: Terminal finish supports the series’ emphasis on preserving audio characteristics at interfaces.
• High bulk capacitance at modest voltage: 5600 µF at 16 V provides substantial energy reserve in a compact φ30 × 35 mm package.
• Defined ripple and leakage specs: 2.9 A ripple current (120 Hz) and 890 µA leakage current offer predictable performance for power supply design and bias stability.
• Endurance defined for elevated temperature: 1000‑hour rating at 85 °C gives designers a clear thermal/aging baseline for long‑term performance planning.
• RoHS compliance: Materials and construction meet RoHS directive requirements.
