Overview of LKG1C562MESYAK – 5600 µF, 16 V Snap-In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor for Audio
The LKG1C562MESYAK is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor tailored for audio equipment. It delivers 5600 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V in a compact radial can with snap-in mounting for robust board retention.
Designed for high-grade audio applications, this capacitor emphasizes stable filtering and power-supply smoothing with specifications aimed at preserving audio fidelity over its rated life and operating temperature range.
Key Features
- Capacitance: 5600 µF (5.6 mF) for substantial bulk energy storage and smoothing in power rails.
- Rated Voltage: 16 V design voltage suitable for low-voltage audio power supplies and preamplifier rails.
- Tolerance & Loss: ±20% capacitance tolerance and specified tan δ of 0.35 (measurement at 120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable AC behavior.
- Mounting & Package: Snap-in terminal, radial can (snap-in) package for secure vertical mounting and reliable mechanical retention on PC boards.
- Thermal & Lifetime: Operating range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C, supporting sustained performance in heated enclosures.
- Ripple Performance: Rated ripple current of 1.45 A at 120 Hz for effective handling of AC ripple in audio power supplies.
- Audio-oriented Design: Part of the LKG series designed for high-grade audio use; the AK grade denotes the TYPE-I (Gold Tune) configuration aimed at tone-quality prioritization.
- RoHS Compliant: Manufactured in compliance with RoHS directives.
- Low-temperature Stability: Documented impedance ratios for low-temperature performance (Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 4; Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 12) to inform design behavior in cold environments.
Typical Applications
- High-fidelity Audio Equipment: Bulk filtering and smoothing in amplifier and preamplifier power supplies to support clean audio reproduction.
- Audio Power Rails: Local energy reservoir for low-voltage audio circuits where stable DC supply reduces audible artifacts.
- Professional A/V Systems: Power-conditioning components in mixers, processors, and rack-mounted audio gear operating within −40°C to +85°C environments.
Unique Advantages
- Audio-focused engineering: LKG series design emphasizes tone quality and fidelity, aligning component selection with the needs of high-grade audio systems.
- High bulk capacitance in compact can: 5600 µF provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and transient support while fitting typical radial/snap-in board layouts.
- Reliable snap-in retention: Snap-in terminal package simplifies assembly and provides strong mechanical mounting for vertical orientation on PCBs.
- Documented endurance and thermal limits: 1000 hours at 85°C endurance rating and defined operating temperature range enable predictable lifetime planning.
- Measured ripple handling: 1.45 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz gives a clear specification for power-supply ripple design and thermal budgeting.
- RoHS compliance: Supports designs that require restricted-substance conformance.
