Overview of LKG1E103MESBBK – Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 10000 µF, 25 V
The LKG1E103MESBBK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment. It combines a high capacitance 10 000 µF rating with a 25 V voltage specification and construction optimized for high‑fidelity audio applications.
Intended for use in audio power supplies and high‑grade audio systems, the part offers low‑frequency ripple handling, defined loss characteristics, and a temperature/endurance profile suitable for demanding audio environments.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 10 000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V, with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
- Audio‑grade design — Specified for audio equipment with emphasis on fidelity; tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified as 0.3 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz).
- Low‑frequency ripple handling — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 3.3 A at 120 Hz to support power smoothing in audio power rails.
- Leakage current — Leakage current specified at 1500 µA (after applied rated voltage at 20 °C conditions noted in the datasheet).
- Mounting & package — Snap‑in radial can (snap‑in terminal type) for secure mechanical mounting; tray packing for handling and assembly.
- Temperature & endurance — Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage.
- Physical dimensions — Case dimensions listed as φ30 × 40 mm; size reference L: 4 × D: 3 cm.
- Compliance — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Energy storage and smoothing on amplifier power rails where stable low‑frequency performance supports audio reproduction quality.
- Audio power supplies — Bulk reservoir and ripple handling for regulated and unregulated audio PSU sections.
- Studio and consumer hi‑fi equipment — Front‑end and output filtering where audio‑focused capacitor characteristics are required.
Unique Advantages
- Large energy reserve: 10 000 µF at 25 V provides substantial capacitance for power smoothing and transient support in audio circuits.
- Defined loss characteristics for audio: Specified tanδ (0.3 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) supports predictable AC loss behavior important in high‑fidelity designs.
- Robust ripple capability: 3.3 A low‑frequency ripple current rating accommodates mains‑frequency ripple conditions common in audio power supplies.
- Wide operating range and tested endurance: −40 °C to +85 °C operation with 1000 h endurance at 85 °C under rated voltage for reliable service life in audio environments.
- Snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in construction provides secure mechanical fixation for chassis or PCB assemblies requiring a stable, high‑capacitance component.
- RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmental and regulatory conformity.
