LKG1E682MESYAK

The LKG1E682MESYAK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, specified for audio applications. It provides 6800 µF capacitance at 25 V with a ±20% tolerance in a compact radial can designed for snap‑in mounting.

Engineered for high‑grade audio equipment, this TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) grade unit prioritizes audio performance while delivering practical power handling — including a 2.2 A ripple current rating (120 Hz) — and operational reliability across −40°C to +85°C. Note: this part is listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Core electricals — 6.8 mF (6800 µF) capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance; polarized design for DC smoothing and energy storage in audio power circuits.
• Audio‑focused grade — TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) designation; series documentation states this grade is a low‑profile, high‑tone‑quality design targeting high‑grade audio equipment.
• Ripple and leakage — Rated ripple current 2.2 A at 120 Hz; specified leakage current 1230 µA (product data).
• Reliability and lifetime — Rated life of 1000 hours at 85°C; endurance specifications in the series state capacitance change within ±20% and leakage maintained after endurance testing.
• Package and mounting — Radial, can‑style snap‑in terminal type with compact dimensions: φ20 × 35 mm (diameter × length/height); supplied in tray packing for board‑level handling.
• Temperature range — Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C for broad suitability across audio system environments.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction and series marking printed in gold on a black sleeve for visual identification.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio amplifiers — Used for power supply filtering and reservoir capacitance where sustained ripple handling and stable capacitance support audio performance.
• Professional AV and studio equipment — Suited to systems that prioritize tonal quality and stable operation across the specified temperature range and lifetime conditions.
• Hi‑Fi and home audio systems — Provides bulk energy storage and smoothing in compact power supply designs targeting clarity and consistency in audio output.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio fidelity — TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) grade targets high‑tone‑quality requirements stated for the LKG series, aligning component choice with audio performance goals.
• High ripple capability — 2.2 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz enables effective smoothing in audio power rails and reduces supply ripple under load.
• Compact snap‑in format — φ20 × 35 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies PCB retention and board‑level assembly in confined enclosures.
• Rated endurance under elevated temperature — 1000 hours at 85°C specification provides a defined reliability expectation for thermal stress in typical audio environments.
• RoHS compliant and clearly marked — Environmental compliance and gold‑on‑black sleeve marking aid traceability and regulatory alignment.
