LKG1E103MESYAK

The LKG1E103MESYAK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor specified at 10,000 µF and 25 V, engineered for high‑grade audio equipment. It combines large bulk capacitance with a snap‑in radial can package for power‑supply reservoir and smoothing duties in audio applications.

Key performance attributes include a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 2.55 A (120 Hz), a leakage current specification of 1,500 µA, a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 at 20 °C/120 Hz, and a rated life of 1,000 hours at 85 °C. The part is RoHS‑compliant and is offered in the TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) audio grade.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 10,000 µF bulk capacitance at a 25 V rating, delivering substantial energy storage for low‑frequency filtering and reservoir functions.
• Audio‑Grade Construction — Identified as TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) in the LKG series, designed for high‑tone‑quality audio applications and printed with gold lettering on a black sleeve.
• Ripple and Loss Characteristics — Low‑frequency ripple current rated at 2.55 A (120 Hz) and tan δ = 0.3 measured at 20 °C/120 Hz, supporting effective smoothing in audio power supplies.
• Leakage Control — Rated leakage current up to 1,500 µA after voltage application, suitable for typical audio power‑circuit tolerances.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1,000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ20 × 50L), intended for secure chassis or PCB mounting where snap‑in terminals are preferred.
• Regulatory — Compliant with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity amplifiers — Bulk energy storage and smoothing for power supplies in power and preamplifier stages to support consistent audio performance.
• Audio signal processing equipment — Reservoir and decoupling capacitor for mixers, equalizers, and other studio gear where stable low‑frequency filtering is required.
• Consumer high‑end audio systems — Power supply filtering and transient support in home audio and powered speaker subsystems.
