LKG1E332MESZBK

The LKG1E332MESZBK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can designed for audio applications. It provides 3.3 mF (3300 µF) capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V with a ±20% tolerance and is polarized for DC service.

Engineered for high‑grade audio equipment, this TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) grade from Nichicon emphasizes fidelity and low loss (tan δ 0.30 at 120 Hz). The part is RoHS compliant and built for continuous operation within a −40 °C to +85 °C range with endurance rated to 1000 hours at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal capacitance at 25 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Audio‑Focused Grade — TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) construction and design emphasis on high‑tone quality for high‑fidelity audio equipment.
• Low Loss — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.30 (measurement reference: 120 Hz, 20 °C), supporting lower dissipation in audio circuits.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 1.8 A at 120 Hz, suitable for power smoothing and supply decoupling in audio power stages.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ22 × 30 mm), designed for secure PCB mounting and high current connections.
• Operating Range & Endurance — Operating temperature −40 °C to +85 °C with endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85 °C (with recovery to room temperature for verification).
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current limited per series specification: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20 °C, not more than 3√(C·V) µA (C in µF, V in V).
• Identification — Marked with gold color lettering on a black sleeve consistent with the LKG series aesthetic and grade coding.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio amplifiers — Power supply filtering and decoupling where low loss and tone quality are prioritized.
• Audio power supplies — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in DC rails for high‑fidelity systems.
• Professional audio equipment — Use in designs that target improved tonal characteristics and stable performance over specified temperature and lifetime conditions.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑centric design: TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) grade construction and specified low tan δ focus the part’s performance on fidelity and tonal quality.
• Measured low dissipation: tan δ = 0.30 at 120 Hz supports reduced power loss and stable behavior in audio signal paths.
• Reliable ripple performance: 1.8 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz enables effective smoothing in audio power stages.
• Broad temperature endurance: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range with 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C for predictable long‑term behavior under thermal stress.
• Easy mechanical integration: Snap‑in radial can (φ22 × 30 mm) simplifies mounting for PCB assemblies requiring secure, high‑current terminations.
• Compliance and traceability: RoHS compliance and Nichicon LKG series marking help meet regulatory and assembly requirements.
