LKG1E103MESAAK

The LKG1E103MESAAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal (radial can) package, specified at 10,000 µF and 25 V. It belongs to Nichicon's LKG series, designed specifically for audio use and intended for high‑grade audio equipment where fidelity is a priority.

This part delivers high capacitance, defined ripple capability and controlled loss characteristics in a compact φ25 × 35 mm can. It is polarized, RoHS compliant, and rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with a 1,000‑hour endurance at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 10,000 µF rated capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Audio‑grade Design (TYPE‑I / Gold Tune) — Part of the LKG series developed for high‑grade audio equipment and prioritizing high‑fidelity sound quality; grade code AK corresponds to TYPE‑I (Gold Tune).
• Snap‑in Terminal Package — Radial, snap‑in can suitable for secure board mounting in power and audio assemblies; tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Loss & Leakage — Specified tan δ of 0.3 (measurement per series datasheet conditions) and leakage current listed at 1,500 µA.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 2.5 A at 120 Hz, supporting higher AC load in audio power applications.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C; endurance verified at 1,000 hours at 85 °C with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage.
• Marking & Appearance — Printed with gold color lettering on a black sleeve as specified for the series.

Typical Applications

• Professional audio equipment — Intended for use in high‑grade audio systems where component characteristics are selected to support audio fidelity.
• High‑fidelity amplifiers — Suitable for signal and power stages in audio amplifiers that require large bulk capacitance in a compact form.
• Studio and consumer audio electronics — Appropriate for devices and modules within audio product lines that specify LKG series components.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial bulk capacitance in a compact can — 10,000 µF in a φ25 × 35 mm package provides high energy storage without a large footprint.
• Audio‑focused material choices — Part of the Gold Tune (TYPE‑I) grade engineered for priority on sound quality, reflecting the series design intent.
• Defined ripple handling — 2.5 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports applications with significant AC loading.
• Endurance verified at elevated temperature — Rated for 1,000 hours at 85 °C with specified post‑endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage, supporting predictable long‑term behavior.
• Wide operating temperature range — −40 °C to +85 °C operation enables use across varied environmental conditions encountered in audio installations.
• RoHS compliant — Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements as stated for the series.
