Overview of LKG1E103MESBAK – Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 10,000 µF, 25 V
The LKG1E103MESBAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor engineered for audio applications. It provides 10,000 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a radial, can-style package sized φ30 × 25 mm (height seated max 2.5 cm).
Designed with high‑fidelity audio in mind, this LKG series part is intended for use in high‑grade and HD audio equipment where reliable bulk capacitance and audio‑focused component selection are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 10,000 µF nominal capacitance at a 25 V rated voltage, with a tolerance of ±20% (−20% to +20%).
- Audio‑focused design — Part of Nichicon’s LKG series designed specifically for audio equipment, prioritizing high‑fidelity sound quality.
- Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ30 × 25 mm case) for secure mechanical retention and straightforward board assembly.
- Ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 2.65 A at 120 Hz, supporting low‑frequency power handling in audio circuits.
- Temperature & reliability — Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C with a specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
- Polarized electrolytic — Polarized construction suitable for DC power and bulk energy storage roles in audio power systems.
- Regulatory compliance — RoHS‑compliant per the product data.
- Identification — Marked with gold‑color lettering on a black sleeve for clear product identification.
Typical Applications
- High‑grade audio equipment — Bulk energy storage and decoupling in amplifiers, preamplifiers, and other high‑fidelity audio modules.
- HD Audio systems — Meets the tone quality needs cited for HD Audio equipment in the LKG series documentation.
- Audio power supplies — Use where large capacitance and moderate ripple handling at 120 Hz are required for smoothing and reservoir functions.
- Systems requiring snap‑in mounting — Applications that benefit from secure snap‑in terminal retention in chassis or PCB modules.
Unique Advantages
- High bulk capacitance at moderate voltage — 10,000 µF at 25 V delivers substantial energy storage for audio power stages and smoothing circuits.
- Audio‑centric series design — Part of the LKG family which is specified for high‑fidelity audio use, aligning component choice with sonic goals.
- Robust ripple handling — 2.65 A ripple current (120 Hz) supports typical low‑frequency power demands in audio applications.
- Wide operating temperature range — Rated from −40 °C to +85 °C with 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C for predictable field performance.
- Easy mechanical integration — Snap‑in terminal and compact φ30 can simplify assembly and provide reliable retention in mounted systems.
- Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in designs targeting restricted‑substance conformance.
