LKG1C682MESCCK

The LKG1C682MESCCK is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, specified at 6800 µF and 16 V. It is part of the LKG audio-focused family and is engineered for high‑grade audio equipment where tone quality and fidelity are priorities.

Featuring a snap‑in radial can package (φ35 × 30L) and TYPE‑III grade construction, this component combines high capacitance with design attributes aimed at audio applications. Note: this part is designated End Of Life.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 6.8 mF (6800 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and rated voltage of 16 V, suited for high‑capacitance requirements in audio circuits.
• Loss and Ripple — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.25 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 3.15 A at 120 Hz for handling audio power ripple.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 980 µA, measured under the product’s test conditions.
• Mechanical / Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ35 × 30L; 3.5 cm diameter × 3.0 cm length) designed for secure snap‑in mounting in equipment assemblies and PCBs that accept snap‑in components.
• Reliability & Life — Endurance rated to 1000 hours at 85°C with capacitance change and dissipation factor within specified limits after testing.
• Environmental — RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Polarization — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design for correct orientation in DC circuits.
• Audio-Grade Construction — Part of the LKG series’ TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade, specified in the series documentation as targeted toward the highest tone quality and employing gold‑tune design attributes.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Suited for use in audio systems where fidelity and tone quality are primary design considerations.
• HD Audio systems — Intended to meet the tone quality needs for HD Audio equipment as described in the LKG series documentation.
• Equipment assemblies using snap‑in components — Snap‑in radial package supports secure mechanical mounting in chassis and PCB assemblies designed for snap‑in cans.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact can: 6800 µF at 16 V delivers substantial bulk capacitance in a φ35 mm can for audio power sections.
• Audio‑focused grade (TYPE‑III): Series documentation identifies the TYPE‑III grade as targeted to the highest tone quality, aligning the part with high‑fidelity audio designs.
• Measured low‑frequency ripple capability: 3.15 A ripple rating at 120 Hz supports handling of audio power ripple in relevant applications.
• Endurance traceable to specification: Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C with defined limits on capacitance change, dissipation factor, and leakage after the endurance test.
• RoHS compliant and packaged for production: Conforms to RoHS and is shipped in tray packing to ease handling during assembly processes.
• Clear specification of loss and leakage: Published tan δ (0.25 at 20°C/120 Hz) and leakage current (980 µA) allow designers to size and specify performance precisely.
