LKG1E223MESCAK

The LKG1E223MESCAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in (radial can) package, rated 22,000 µF at 25 V and optimized for high‑grade audio equipment. It is part of Nichicon’s LKG series and is designated TYPE‑I (Gold Tune), intended to prioritize high‑fidelity sound quality for HD audio applications.

Designed for use where bulk energy storage and low‑frequency smoothing are required, this polarized capacitor offers a compact φ35×35L footprint and RoHS compliance (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22,000 µF at 25 V with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio‑grade LKG TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) — TYPE‑I designation denotes the low‑profile, high‑tone quality grade in the LKG series targeted for high‑fidelity audio.
• Snap‑in Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in terminals for secure mechanical retention in assemblies.
• Operating Range & Endurance — Rated for -40°C to +85°C operation; endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C with limits on capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after recovery to 20°C.
• Ripple Current — 3.85 A at 120 Hz to support audio power supply ripple demands.
• Physical Size — φ35 × 35 mm length; listed dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm for layout and mechanical planning.
• Polarized — Electrolytic, polarized device suitable for DC power applications in audio systems.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Amplifiers — Bulk storage and smoothing on power rails to support clean low‑frequency performance and stable supply under dynamic audio loads.
• HD Audio Equipment — Designed to meet the high tone quality needs specified for HD audio systems.
• Audio Power Supply Filtering — Large capacitance and specified ripple current make it suitable for power supply decoupling and ripple reduction in audio electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Energy Reserve: 22,000 µF provides large bulk capacitance for improved low‑frequency stabilization and transient support.
• Audio‑focused Construction: TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) LKG design emphasizes high tone quality appropriate for high‑grade audio designs.
• Specified Endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C endurance specification with defined limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage provides predictable long‑term behavior under rated conditions.
• High Ripple Capability: 3.85 A at 120 Hz supports demanding audio power supply currents and helps reduce audible noise from ripple.
• Secure Snap‑in Mounting: Radial snap‑in terminals offer reliable mechanical retention for chassis or PCB assemblies where robust mounting is required.
