LKG1C822MESZAK

The LKG1C822MESZAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can package, specified at 8200 µF and 16 V with ±20% tolerance. It is part of Nichicon's LKG series, a family designed specifically for audio applications and engineered to prioritize high fidelity and tone quality in audio equipment.

Engineered for use in high‑grade and HD audio systems, this polarized snap‑in capacitor combines large capacitance with a compact φ22 × 25 mm can and rugged snap‑in mounting suitable for audio assemblies requiring reliable bulk energy storage and low loss performance (tan δ 0.35). The component is RoHS compliant and rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 8200 µF nominal capacitance provides substantial bulk energy storage for audio power supply smoothing and decoupling within the specified voltage and temperature envelope.
• Rated Voltage & Tolerance: 16 V rated voltage with ±20% capacitance tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C), suitable for many low‑voltage audio circuits.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package: Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction simplifies mechanical mounting in chassis and PCB assemblies designed for lug/snap‑in capacitors.
• Audio‑Focused Design: Part of the LKG series developed "for audio use" and targeted at delivering tone quality for high‑grade and HD audio equipment.
• Electrical Loss Characteristics: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.35, supporting low loss behavior appropriate for audio applications.
• Thermal & Endurance Ratings: Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C; performance after endurance is specified for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 1.9 A at 120 Hz, specified for the part to handle AC stress typical in audio power supply contexts.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS directives as stated in series documentation.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Equipment: Designed for use in equipment where sound quality and tone are prioritized, including consumer and professional audio products.
• HD Audio Systems: Suited to systems requiring components selected for tone quality and fidelity as described for the LKG series.
• Audio Equipment Assemblies: Snap‑in radial can form factor supports mechanical mounting and assembly in audio chassis and enclosures.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑centric Engineering: Series design prioritizes tone quality and high fidelity, aligning component selection with audio performance goals.
• Substantial Energy Storage: 8200 µF capacitance at 16 V provides robust bulk capacitance for smoothing and stabilizing low‑voltage audio rails.
• Simplified Mechanical Integration: Snap‑in terminals in a radial can format ease installation into audio assemblies and reduce mounting complexity.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −40°C to +85°C rating supports stable operation across typical audio equipment ambient conditions.
• Specified Endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C endurance specification gives designers quantifiable lifecycle expectations under elevated temperature stress.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic assemblies.
