LKG1C682MESACK

The LKG1C682MESACK from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKG series, specified at 6800 µF and 16 V. It is designed specifically for audio use, prioritizing high-fidelity sound quality and meeting the tone-quality requirements of HD audio equipment.

As a snap-in, radial can package it provides a compact bulk-capacitance solution (Ø25 mm × 50 mm) for high-grade audio applications where low loss, stable performance across temperature, and secure mounting are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6800 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V, with a tolerance of ±20%.
• Audio-Focused Electrolyte and Grades — Part of the LKG series developed for high-grade audio equipment; the series includes TYPE-I, TYPE-II and TYPE-III grades that address varying tone-quality requirements.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.25 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) to support low-loss performance in audio circuits.
• Snap-In Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can construction sized at 25 mm diameter × 50 mm length (L: 5 cm × D: 2.5 cm) for secure PCB mounting and compact footprint.
• Temperature Range & Reliability — Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current capability specified at 3.2 A (120 Hz), suitable for audio power applications.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polar capacitor intended for correct polarity installation in DC circuits.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Identification — Marked with gold-color lettering on a black sleeve for clear identification.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C is specified as not more than 3√(C·V) µA (C in µF, V in V), per the series datasheet.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Designed to emphasize high-fidelity sound quality in premium audio amplifiers and components.
• HD audio systems — Meets tone-quality needs for HD audio equipment where sound clarity and tonal response are priorities.
• Audio power modules — Bulk energy storage and decoupling in power sections of audio electronics that require reliable capacitance and ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑centric design: The LKG series is developed specifically for audio use, delivering component characteristics selected to support high-fidelity performance.
• Substantial bulk capacitance at low voltage: 6800 µF at 16 V provides significant energy storage for audio power rails in a compact snap-in can.
• Robust ripple capability: 3.2 A ripple current (120 Hz) supports demanding audio supply conditions and reduces stress on upstream regulation.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +85°C rating and 1000-hour endurance at 85°C give predictable lifecycle behavior in typical audio environments.
• Clear identification and compliance: Gold-lettered marking on a black sleeve and RoHS compliance simplify assembly and regulatory acceptance.
