LKG1C822MESZBK

The LKG1C822MESZBK is an 8200 µF, 16 V snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, designed for audio equipment. It delivers bulk capacitance in a snap-in radial can package suited to high-grade audio applications where stable smoothing and power decoupling are required.

Key value propositions include substantial capacitance (8.2 mF) for low-frequency energy storage, a specified low-frequency ripple current rating, and endurance performance defined for long-term use under elevated temperature conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 8200 µF rated capacitance at 16 V, providing substantial energy storage for audio power circuits.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable design margins.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.35 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling engineers to assess dielectric loss in audio applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current rated at 2400 mA (2.4 A) at 120 Hz to support smoothing under dynamic loads.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1080 µA for characterization of quiescent current in designs.
• Endurance — 1000 hours life at 85°C with rated voltage applied; capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage are specified after endurance testing.
• Operating Temperature Range — Designed for −40°C to +85°C operation to cover typical audio equipment environments.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in radial can (φ22 × 35 mm length) for secure chassis or board mounting; supplied in tray packing for handling.
• Audio-Series Design — Part of the LKG family engineered for audio use, emphasizing fidelity considerations in the series design.
• RoHS Compliant & Identification — Complies with RoHS; marked with gold lettering on a black sleeve for easy identification.

Typical Applications

• Professional Audio Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing in power supplies for mixers, preamps, and processors where high-capacitance 16 V nodes are used.
• High-Fidelity Amplifiers — Energy storage and low-frequency decoupling in amplifier power stages to support transient response and stable supply rails.
• Audio Processing Equipment — Supply reservoir and ripple handling in DAC/ADC front-end and signal-chain support circuits.
