LKG1C682MESAAK

The LKG1C682MESAAK from Nichicon is a TYPE‑I snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor optimized for high‑grade audio equipment. It delivers 6800 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a radial, can-style snap‑in package designed for audio circuits that prioritize high‑fidelity sound quality.

Engineered for HD audio applications, this polarized capacitor combines high capacitance, a low‑profile TYPE‑I construction, and audio-focused materials to support power filtering and decoupling in professional and consumer audio designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6800 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing in audio power rails.
• TYPE‑I Audio Grade — Low‑profile, high‑tone quality TYPE‑I construction specified for high‑grade audio use and HD audio sound quality.
• Snap‑In Mounting — Radial, can-style snap‑in terminal package for secure PCB mounting in power supply and amplifier modules.
• Operating Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C, supporting typical audio equipment thermal environments.
• Endurance — Designed for 1000 hours at 85 °C with rated voltage applied; capacitance change remains within ±20% after endurance testing.
• Low‑Frequency Ripple Capability — Ripple current rating of 1.7 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing low‑frequency rectified supplies.
• Leakage Current Specification — After 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20 °C, leakage current is specified as not more than 3√(C·V) µA, where C is capacitance (µF) and V is voltage (V).
• Low‑Temperature Stability — Impedance ratios at low temperature: Z(−25 °C)/Z(+20 °C) ≤ 4 and Z(−40 °C)/Z(+20 °C) ≤ 12, for predictable behavior in cold conditions.
• Marking & Finish — Printed with gold color lettering on a black sleeve, reflecting the audio‑grade presentation of the LKG series.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade Audio Amplifiers — Bulk filtering and power stabilization in amplifier power supplies to support consistent audio reproduction.
• HD Audio Equipment — Energy storage and decoupling in high‑resolution audio components where tone quality is prioritized.
• Professional Audio Electronics — Power rail smoothing and transient support in mixers, preamps, and studio gear that require reliable, long‑term performance.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Design: TYPE‑I construction and materials are specified for high tone quality, directly addressing HD audio sound requirements.
• High Capacitance in Compact Can: 6800 µF in a radial snap‑in package delivers substantial energy storage for power supply smoothing without a large footprint.
