LKG1E182MESYCK

The LKG1E182MESYCK is a snap‑in, radial can aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for audio applications. It delivers 1.8 mF capacitance at 25 V in a compact φ20 × 35 mm package and is optimized for high‑tone quality audio equipment.

This capacitor combines a snap‑in mounting style with audio‑focused series construction (TYPE‑III / Super Through grade), offering designers a polarized filter/decoupling option that prioritizes fidelity and stability across a −40°C to +85°C operating range.

Key Features

• Audio‑Focused Grade (TYPE‑III / Super Through) Designed for high tone quality in HD audio equipment; the part number suffix "CK" identifies the TYPE‑III grade within the LKG family.
• Electrical Performance 1.8 mF nominal capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance, low loss (tan δ ≈ 0.22), and polarization suitable for typical electrolytic audio circuits.
• Ripple & Leakage Rated ripple current of 1.6 A (120 Hz) and a specified leakage current of 630 µA, supporting power‑handling needs in audio power circuits.
• Reliability & Lifetime Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C; designed to meet the LKG series endurance and shelf‑life criteria when tested to datasheet conditions.
• Mechanical & Mounting Snap‑in radial can construction (φ20 × 35 mm) for secure board mounting and straightforward assembly; tray packing for handling.
• Operating Range & Compliance Operating temperature −40°C to +85°C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Intended for use where high tone quality and fidelity are priorities in audio designs.
• HD audio systems — Engineered to meet the high tone quality needs stated for HD audio applications in the LKG series documentation.
• Audio component manufacturing — Snap‑in radial can format simplifies assembly into power and signal modules within audio products.

Unique Advantages

• Grade tuned for audio quality: TYPE‑III (CK) designation in the LKG family targets the highest tone quality for demanding audio applications.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ20 × 35 mm snap‑in radial can provides a space‑efficient solution with secure PCB mounting.
• Practical ripple handling: 1.6 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports typical audio power stages and supply filtering needs.
• Defined endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C specified endurance gives predictable performance and lifecycle expectations under elevated temperature stress.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements as stated in the product data.
