LKG1E332MESCCK

The LKG1E332MESCCK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specifically tailored for high‑grade audio equipment. It delivers 3.3 mF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can designed for power‑supply decoupling and audio smoothing applications.

This unit is the TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade of the LKG family—optimized for high tone quality with gold‑plated terminals—and is RoHS compliant. Note: this specific part is listed as End of Life; please request availability or alternative options when planning new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) rated at 25 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Audio‑Focused Grade — TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade from the LKG series, emphasizing high tone quality and audio performance.
• Gold‑Plated Terminals — Gold plating on terminals reduces contact drag and supports reliable connections in audio signal/power paths.
• Loss Characteristics — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.22 (measurement at 120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable loss behavior in audio power circuits.
• Ripple & Leakage — Ripple current capability of 2.45 A at 120 Hz and leakage current specified at 860 µA, enabling effective filtering under load.
• Endurance & Temperature — Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C endurance; operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C for stable performance across typical audio environments.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can, physical size φ35 × 25 mm (length), tray packing for board‑level installation.
• Regulatory — Compliant with RoHS directives; series marking printed in gold on a black sleeve for traceability.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio amplifiers — Bulk reservoir and smoothing capacitor for power rails where tone quality and low loss are important.
• Professional audio equipment — Used in consoles and outboard gear to support clean power delivery and stable performance under sustained use.
• Audio power supplies — Handles 120 Hz ripple currents for line‑frequency rectified supplies, improving low‑frequency stability and transient response.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio fidelity: TYPE‑III grade and gold‑plated terminals focus on minimizing contact effects and preserving tonal characteristics in audio circuits.
• High capacitance in a compact can: 3300 µF in a φ35×25 mm package provides substantial energy storage without excessive board footprint.
• Predictable ripple handling: Rated 2.45 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports demanding smoothing requirements in power supplies for audio gear.
• Defined endurance profile: 1000 hours at 85°C and a −40°C to +85°C operating range give a clear, verifiable performance window for design validation.
• RoHS compliant and traceable: Manufactured to LKG series marking conventions with RoHS conformity for regulatory alignment.
