LKG1E153MESBBK

The LKG1E153MESBBK is a snap‑in, aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, specified for audio equipment and high‑fidelity sound applications. It delivers large bulk capacitance in a snap‑in radial can package suitable for board‑level power smoothing and energy storage in audio systems.

Key electrical characteristics include 15,000 µF capacitance at 25 V, a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 4.15 A (120 Hz), and an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• High Capacitance, Low Voltage: 15,000 µF rated at 25 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for audio power supplies and smoothing applications.
• Audio‑Focused Series Architecture: Part of the LKG series designed for audio equipment and high‑fidelity applications; this unit is TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) grade for center‑grade audio performance.
• Ripple and Loss Characteristics: Low‑frequency ripple current of 4.15 A at 120 Hz and a specified tanδ (DF) of 0.3 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz—suitable for smoothing and decoupling in audio power paths.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1,830 µA, measured after voltage application, enabling predictable bias behavior in power circuits.
• Thermal and Endurance Rating: Operating range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C, meeting stability needs for sustained thermal environments.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package: Snap‑in mounting (radial, can) for secure chassis or board installation; typical physical footprint shown as φ30 × 50 L (L: 5 × D: 3 cm) and supplied in tray packing.
• Regulatory Compliance and Identification: RoHS compliant; marked with gold color printing on a black sleeve for clear product identification.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers: Bulk smoothing and power reservoir for power amplifier rails in high‑grade audio equipment.
• Audio Power Supplies: Filtering and ripple reduction in linear and regulated supplies where large capacitance and robust ripple handling are required.
• Professional Audio Equipment: Energy storage and decoupling in mixers, preamps, and other studio devices that prioritize audio fidelity.

Unique Advantages

• Large Bulk Energy Storage: 15,000 µF capacity supports sustained current draw and reduces voltage sag in audio power rails.
• Designed for Audio Fidelity: LKG series engineering and TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) grading target high‑fidelity audio use cases, aligning component characteristics with sonic performance priorities.
• Predictable Thermal Endurance: 1000‑hour endurance at 85°C and an operating range down to −40°C provide stable behavior across typical audio equipment environments.
• High Ripple Capability: 4.15 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz enables effective smoothing in transformer‑fed and low‑frequency power systems.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for lead‑free manufacturing and assembly processes.
