LKG1E152MESYCK

The LKG1E152MESYCK is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, engineered for audio equipment. It delivers 1500 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a compact φ20 × 30 mm can-style, snap-in package optimized for high-fidelity audio designs.

Built to the LKG series audio-focused specifications, this capacitor pairs audio-grade construction with practical power-handling characteristics — including a 120 Hz low-frequency ripple current rating and a 1000-hour endurance at 85°C — for reliable smoothing and decoupling in audio power supplies and related circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage, suitable for a range of audio power supply and filtering applications.
• Audio-Optimized Grade — Part of the LKG audio series; the suffix "CK" corresponds to the TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade which uses gold-plated terminals for tone-quality focused designs.
• Tolerance & Dissipation — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.22 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), providing predictable frequency‑domain behavior for audio circuits.
• Ripple & Leakage — Low-frequency ripple current rated at 1.3 A (120 Hz) and a leakage current of 580 µA (per series test condition after application of rated voltage at 20°C), enabling effective power smoothing with controlled leakage.
• Reliability & Life — Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C with the specified performance recovery criteria defined by the LKG series.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can-type snap-in package for secure chassis or board mounting; physical size φ20 × 30 mm (approx. 2 × 3 cm) supports compact layouts.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Operating temperature −40°C to +85°C and RoHS compliant per the series documentation.

Typical Applications

• HD Audio Amplifiers — Bulk smoothing and power supply decoupling where audio fidelity and stable supply rails are important.
• Preamplifiers and Signal Processing — Use for DC blocking and local power conditioning in high-grade audio signal paths.
• Audio Power Supplies — Filtering and ripple reduction in power modules for high-fidelity consumer and professional audio equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused construction — LKG series design and TYPE‑III grade with gold-plated terminals target tone-quality considerations demanded by HD audio equipment.
• High ripple capability — 1.3 A low-frequency ripple rating at 120 Hz supports effective smoothing in compact power supply designs.
• Predictable electrical behavior — Specified tan δ and capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz/20°C enable dependable performance in audio frequency domains.
• Compact snap-in package — φ20 × 30 mm radial can with snap-in mounting allows space-efficient integration into chassis- or board-mounted audio assemblies.
• Defined endurance — 1000-hour rating at 85°C provides a measurable reliability baseline for thermal and operational planning.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements as documented for the LKG series.
