As a TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) variant, this part incorporates a developed electrolyte formulation targeted at delivering high tone quality for HD audio applications while maintaining robust electrical performance for power‑filtering and decoupling roles in audio systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6800 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio‑Focused Grade (TYPE‑I, Gold Tune) — Designed for high tone quality using Nichicon’s developed electrolyte to meet the needs of high‑grade and HD audio equipment.
• Snap‑in Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in mounting for chassis or board assemblies that accept snap‑in components.
• Operating Range & Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 2.15 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and filtering tasks in audio power supplies.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polar type capacitor for DC applications where polarity is observed.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements.
• Clear Identification — Marked with gold color lettering on a black sleeve for easy visual identification.

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade Audio Amplifiers — Used for power supply smoothing and bulk storage to support transient demands and preserve audio fidelity in amplifier circuits.
• HD Audio Systems — Provides stable filtering and decoupling in high‑resolution audio equipment where tonal quality is prioritized.
• Preamp and DAC Power Domains — Serves as local energy storage and ripple suppression for sensitive analog front‑ends in audio signal chains.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑centric electrolyte formulation — TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) construction targets improved tone quality for critical listening applications.
• High capacitance in a compact footprint — 6800 µF in a φ25 × 25 body enables designers to meet bulk capacitance requirements without large can sizes.
• Snap‑in mounting — Snap‑in terminal style simplifies placement in assemblies designed for snap‑in components, supporting efficient mechanical retention.
• Engineered endurance — Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage, providing predictable performance over defined lifecycle conditions.
• Measurable ripple capability — 2.15 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz aligns with typical audio power supply filtering loads.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance ensures alignment with common environmental requirements.
