LKG1C682MESABK

The LKG1C682MESABK is a Nichicon LKG-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can package, specified at 6800 µF and 16 V with polarized construction. It is designed for audio equipment with a focus on sound‑quality considerations and stable power filtering.

As a TYPE‑II (code BK) grade in the LKG family, this part targets center‑grade audio applications using specialized electrode foil to deliver a balanced tonal response while providing industry‑relevant reliability and environmental compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6800 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V, suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing in low‑voltage audio power stages.
• Audio‑grade Tuning (TYPE‑II, BK) — TYPE‑II (code BK) center grade using electrode foil optimized for sound quality in high‑grade audio equipment.
• Loss Characteristic — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.35 (measurement conditions per datasheet), providing defined loss behavior for design tradeoffs between damping and filtering.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package for secure board mounting; dimensions approximately Ø25 × 25 mm (L: 2.5 × D: 2.5 cm) with a seated height maximum of 25 mm.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Rated operating range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Ripple Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 2.15 A at 120 Hz, suitable for power supply ripple smoothing in audio applications.
• Polarized Device — Polarized electrolytic construction for use where correct polarity is maintained.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant and marked with gold color lettering on a black sleeve per series marking convention.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Bulk filtering and supply smoothing in low‑voltage amplifier rails where audible performance is important.
• Professional audio equipment — Power supply decoupling and energy storage for mixing consoles, preamps, and studio gear designed around reliable audio performance.
• Consumer high‑end audio components — Energy reservoir and smoothing in CD/DVD players, DACs, and other dedicated audio playback devices.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused design: TYPE‑II (BK) grade and electrode foil selection emphasize balanced sound quality for high‑grade audio equipment.
• High bulk capacitance at low voltage: 6800 µF at 16 V provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and transient response in audio power rails.
• Snap‑in radial package: Secure snap‑in mounting simplifies PCB assembly and mechanical retention for vertical can installations.
• Defined endurance and thermal range: Rated for −40°C to +85°C with 1000 hours endurance at 85°C for predictable life performance under specified conditions.
• Measured ripple capability: 2.15 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports practical filtering requirements in audio power supplies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant and clearly marked for traceability and identification on assembled products.
