Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance at a 25 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for large reservoir and bulk filtering roles in audio power stages.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.3 (measurement context: 120 Hz at 20 °C as referenced in the series datasheet), supporting stable AC performance in audio circuits.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (snap‑in) package for secure chassis or PCB mount and simplified assembly in audio equipment enclosures.
• Physical Size — Dimensions: 3.5 cm × 3.0 cm (L × D), corresponding to approximately 35 mm × 30 mm, providing high capacitance in a compact snap‑in form factor.
• Temperature Range & Reliability — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C; endurance specified as 1,000 hours at 85 °C per the series specification.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 3.1 A at 120 Hz, suitable for AC ripple handling in audio power supply applications.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized electrolytic design for correct orientation in DC power and smoothing circuits.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to the RoHS directive as noted for the LKG series.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Power Supplies — Bulk reservoir and smoothing capacitor for amplifier power rails where sustained charge storage is required.
• Audio Power Amplifiers — Energy storage and ripple suppression in discrete and integrated amplifier modules to support dynamic audio demands.
• Studio and Consumer Audio Equipment — Power filtering and decoupling in mixers, receivers, and other HD audio systems that prioritize sound quality.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Snap‑In Package: 15,000 µF at 25 V enables substantial energy storage while using a compact radial snap‑in can for robust mounting.
• Audio‑Focused Design: Part of the LKG series developed for audio equipment, providing electrical characteristics and construction targeted at high‑fidelity applications.
• Verified Endurance: Specified endurance of 1,000 hours at 85 °C gives a measurable reliability benchmark for thermal stress planning.
• Practical Ripple Handling: 3.1 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports typical audio power supply ripple conditions.
• Compliance and Environmental Consideration: RoHS compliance supports regulatory and environmental requirements in commercial audio equipment.
