LKG1C682MESZBK

The LKG1C682MESZBK from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed specifically for audio applications. It delivers 6.8 mF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ22 × 30 mm radial can with snap‑in mounting.

Targeted at high‑grade audio equipment, this TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) unit balances high capacitance, robust ripple capability and a design focused on preserving high‑fidelity sound characteristics while remaining RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Audio‑Grade Construction (TYPE‑II / Gold Tune) Designed for high‑grade audio use and prioritizing high‑fidelity sound quality as defined in the LKG series documentation.
• High Capacitance, Low Voltage 6.8 mF capacitance at a 16 V rating with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing in low‑voltage audio power rails.
• Electrical Performance Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.35 and a rated ripple current of 2.2 A at 120 Hz; leakage current listed as 980 µA.
• Robust Temperature & Endurance Operating range −40°C to +85°C with endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package φ22 × 30 mm radial, snap‑in can for secure mechanical mounting and straightforward assembly; supplied in tray packing.
• RoHS Compliance Compliant to RoHS directives as noted for the LKG series.
• Low‑Temperature Stability (Series Data) Series impedance characteristics include Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 4 and Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 12 for preserved performance in cold conditions.

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade Audio Equipment — Power supply decoupling and bulk storage in stereos, integrated amplifiers and other consumer or professional audio electronics.
• Audio Amplifier Power Rails — Energy reservoir and smoothing where sustained current delivery and low loss are required for clean audio reproduction.
• Preamp and Signal‑Path Support — Local power stabilization in preamplifier sections to help maintain fidelity under varying load conditions.

Unique Advantages

• Purpose‑Built for Audio: The LKG series is developed with audio fidelity in mind, and this TYPE‑II unit emphasizes tonal quality suitable for high‑grade audio designs.
• High Bulk Capacitance in a Compact Can: 6.8 mF in a φ22 × 30 mm package enables designers to save board space without sacrificing energy storage.
• Strong Ripple Handling: 2.2 A ripple current rating (120 Hz) supports demanding audio power stages and reduces heating under AC load conditions.
• Durable Thermal Endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C rating provides a defined reliability baseline for elevated operating temperatures.
• Secure Snap‑In Mounting: Radial snap‑in can simplifies mechanical retention and assembly in chassis‑mounted power modules.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance supports regulatory requirements for eco‑conscious product designs.
