LKG1C822MESBCK

The LKG1C822MESBCK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, offering 8200 µF of capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is a polarized, radial can (snap‑in) type designed for use in audio equipment where large bulk capacitance and low frequency performance are required.

Key performance attributes include a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 3.35 A (120 Hz), a specified tanδ of 0.25 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), and an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 8.2 mF (8200 µF) nominal capacitance with a tolerance of -20% to +20% and a rated voltage of 16 V.
• Low‑frequency Performance: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.25 at 20 °C, 120 Hz, suitable for applications where low dissipation factor is important.
• Ripple Handling & Leakage: Low frequency ripple current rated at 3.35 A (120 Hz) and a specified leakage current of 1080 µA.
• Endurance & Temperature Range: Rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C; operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.
• Mechanical & Mounting: Snap‑in radial can package (φ30 × 45 mm), polarized, supplied in tray packing for assembly.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio equipment: Bulk reservoir and power‑supply filtering in amplifiers and audio power stages where large capacitance and audible noise performance matter.
• Professional audio systems: Power smoothing for mixers, preamps, and other studio equipment that benefit from stable low‑frequency filtering.
• Audio power supplies: Filtering and decoupling in power supply rails that require sustained ripple handling at 120 Hz and elevated operating temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Large capacitance at low voltage: 8200 µF at 16 V provides significant bulk energy storage for audio power rails and smoothing tasks.
• Designed for audio use: Part of the LKG series developed with audio performance in mind, offering characteristics targeted to high‑grade audio applications.
• Robust ripple capability: 3.35 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports sustained AC loading in power supply applications.
• High‑temperature endurance: Qualified for 1000 hours at 85 °C, enabling predictable long‑term performance within the specified temperature range.
• Tray packing for assembly: Tray packaging simplifies handling and placement in production environments.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for lead‑free manufacturing environments.
