LKG1E562MESBAK

The LKG1E562MESBAK is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, engineered for audio equipment and high-fidelity applications. It delivers large bulk capacitance in a compact radial snap-in can (φ30 × 20L) to support power supply smoothing and reservoir duties in audio designs.

Key electrical and reliability attributes include a rated voltage of 25 V, low-frequency ripple current handling at 120 Hz, a wide operating temperature range from −40 °C to +85 °C, and 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 5.6 mF (5600 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, rated for 25 V operation.
• Low-Frequency Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current capability of 1.85 A at 120 Hz to support power-supply filtering in audio amplifiers and related circuits.
• Loss Angle / Dissipation Factor — tanδ (DF) specified at 0.3 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), allowing designers to account for dissipation in thermal and stability margins.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1120 µA, allowing predictable bias and hold characteristics for reservoir applications.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can package (φ30 mm diameter × 20 mm length) designed for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant per product documentation.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio power supplies — Bulk reservoir and smoothing capacitance for amplifier power rails where sustained audio performance is required.
• Audio amplifier modules — Support for low-frequency energy storage and ripple suppression in discrete and module-based amplifier designs.
• Consumer and professional audio equipment — Power filtering and decoupling in high-grade audio electronics that prioritize sound fidelity.
