LKG1E332MESZAK

The LKG1E332MESZAK is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, specified at 3300 µF and 25 V. It is designed for audio equipment and the LKG series is developed with priorities for high-fidelity audio performance.

This part offers a compact snap-in can package with a temperature rating of –40°C to 85°C, 1.5 A low-frequency ripple current capability (120 Hz), and a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C. Note: this part is listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) rated at 25 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in audio power circuits.
• Audio-focused design — Part of the LKG series specifically intended for audio equipment and high-fidelity sound applications.
• Snap-in package — Radial, can-type snap-in mounting for secure chassis or PCB-mounted power assemblies.
• Ripple handling — Low-frequency ripple current 1.5 A at 120 Hz to support audio amplifier and power-supply filtering demands.
• Leakage and dissipation — Specified leakage current of 860 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.30 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Endurance and temperature — Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C; operating range –40°C to 85°C for reliable performance across typical audio environments.
• Mechanical footprint — Compact dimensions approximately 22 × 20 mm with ±20% capacitance tolerance and polarized terminals.
• Compliance and packaging — RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing.

Typical Applications

• High-fidelity audio amplifiers — Energy storage and power-supply smoothing to support amplifier dynamics and low-frequency performance.
