LKG1E123MESCAK

The LKG1E123MESCAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor in Nichicon’s LKG series, rated at 12,000 µF and 25 V. It is designed specifically for high‑grade audio equipment where priority is given to high‑fidelity sound quality.

This part is the TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) grade in the LKG series and features a snap‑in radial can package (φ35×25L, L: 2.5 cm × D: 3.5 cm), RoHS compliance, and characteristics suited to audio power rails and filtering in HD audio systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 12,000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for audio power circuits.
• Audio‑Focused Grade — Identified as TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) in the LKG series, designed to prioritize high‑tone quality and fidelity for high‑grade audio applications.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting simplifies secure board installation in chassis and power supply assemblies (radial, can – snap‑in).
• Operating Temperature & Lifetime — Specified for -40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C, enabling stable operation under typical audio equipment conditions.
• Electrical Characteristics — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and polarized construction; leakage current specification and loss characteristics follow LKG series datasheet conditions.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 2.65 A at 120 Hz to support AC ripple demands seen on audio power rails.
• RoHS Compliant & Identification — Compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) and marked with gold‑color lettering on a black sleeve for clear identification.

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade Audio Equipment — Intended use where audio fidelity is a priority; suitable for power rail decoupling and bulk storage in premium audio products.
• HD Audio Systems — Matches the LKG series objective of meeting high‑tone quality needs in high‑definition audio designs.
• Audio Power Supplies — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple support for amplifier and preamplifier power stages within specified temperature and endurance limits.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for Audio Fidelity — TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) grade and LKG series development emphasize tone quality suited to high‑grade audio applications.
• High Bulk Capacitance at 25 V — 12,000 µF offers substantial energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in audio power rails.
• Snap‑In Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can provides robust mechanical retention for chassis and power supply assemblies.
• Validated Temperature Endurance — Rated for -40 °C to +85 °C and endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C for predictable performance over time.
• Ripple Current Capability — 2.65 A at 120 Hz to support dynamic current demands encountered in audio circuits.
• Regulatory and Visual Identification — RoHS compliant and marked with gold lettering on a black sleeve for easy part recognition and regulatory alignment.
