LKG1E273MESCAK

The LKG1E273MESCAK from Nichicon is a snap‑in, aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKG series engineered for high‑grade audio equipment. It delivers 27,000 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a radial can snap‑in package optimized for power‑supply smoothing and decoupling in HD audio applications.

As a TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade device, this part emphasizes high tone quality through gold‑plated terminals and construction choices targeted to demanding audio designs that prioritize fidelity and low contact drag.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 27,000 µF capacitance provides substantial bulk energy storage for low‑frequency filtering and power‑rail stabilization in audio power supplies.
• 25 V Rated Voltage — Suitable for common audio amplifier and preamplifier power rails requiring mid‑range DC voltage handling.
• TYPE‑III Audio Grade — Classified as TYPE‑III (Super Through) with gold‑plated terminals to address high tone‑quality requirements for HD audio equipment.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in mounting simplifies secure chassis or board mounting; package form factor is a radial, can‑snap‑in style for robust mechanical retention.
• Operating Temperature Range — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C to match typical ambient conditions for audio electronics.
• Endurance and Reliability — Specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage; capacitance change and leakage remain within defined limits after endurance testing.
• RoHS Compliant — Complies with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.
• Ripple Current — 4.3 A at 120 Hz (low frequency), enabling effective ripple handling in audio power circuits.
• Compact Footprint — Physical size approximately Dia. 35 mm × Length 40 mm (L: 4.0 cm × D: 3.5 cm), balancing high capacitance in a manageable can size.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Amplifiers — Bulk filtering and power‑rail stabilization to support low‑noise, low‑distortion audio output stages.
• Professional and Studio Equipment — Power smoothing for mixers, preamps, and other HD audio devices where tonal fidelity is prioritized.
• Audio Power Supplies — Energy storage and decoupling for regulated and unregulated supplies feeding audio electronics.
• Consumer Hi‑Fi Systems — Supporting precise low‑frequency response and clean supply rails in high‑fidelity home audio equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Large Stored Energy: 27,000 µF provides substantial charge reservoir to reduce low‑frequency ripple and maintain stable supply during transient audio demands.
• Audio‑Focused Design: TYPE‑III grade and gold‑plated terminals target reduced contact drag and improved tonal characteristics relevant to HD audio applications.
• Robust Thermal Endurance: 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C under rated voltage gives designers a clear reliability baseline for thermal stress scenarios.
• Designed for Practical Mounting: Snap‑in radial can simplifies installation into chassis or assemblies while providing secure mechanical retention.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets current restricted‑substance requirements, facilitating regulatory alignment in many markets.
• Measured Ripple Capability: 4.3 A at 120 Hz provides quantifiable ripple handling for audio power smoothing duties.
