Designed for high‑grade audio equipment, this TYPE‑II (BK) grade capacitor emphasizes tonal performance and reliability, offering a combination of high capacitance, robust low‑frequency ripple handling, and a -40 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 8200 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20 °C), providing bulk energy storage for audio power rails.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating suitable for a wide range of audio power supply designs.
• Audio‑Focused Series — Part of Nichicon’s LKG series and specified as TYPE‑II (BK) grade for use in high‑grade audio equipment and HD Audio applications.
• Low‑Frequency Ripple Handling — 2.3 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing of low‑frequency supply ripple in amplifier and preamplifier circuits.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 1080 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.35 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), useful for estimating standby losses and thermal load.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C and specified operating range from -40 °C to 85 °C for reliable performance in varied environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package (φ25 mm diameter × 30 mm length) supplied in tray packing for straightforward board assembly.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant per product data.

Typical Applications

• High‑End Audio Amplifiers — Bulk supply filtering and energy storage to support power amplifier dynamics and maintain low ripple on audio rails.
• Professional Audio Equipment — Power supply smoothing and decoupling in mixers, signal processors, and studio-grade electronics where tonal characteristics matter.
• Audio Power Supplies — Energy reservoir and ripple suppression in regulated and unregulated audio supply sections operating within the 16 V range.

Unique Advantages
