LKG1E822MESAAK

The LKG1E822MESAAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor in Nichicon's LKG series, specified at 8200 µF and 25 V. It is a TYPE‑I (AK) "Gold Tune" grade component designed for audio use and targeted at high‑grade audio equipment where component characteristics influence sound quality.

Packaged as a radial, can-type snap‑in capacitor with a φ25 × 30 mm footprint, the device combines high capacitance, a rated ripple capability at 120 Hz, and a 1000‑hour endurance rating at 85°C for reliable power‑supply smoothing and decoupling in audio applications.

Key Features

• High Capacitance & Voltage — 8.2 mF (8200 µF) nominal capacitance at a 25 V rated voltage for bulk energy storage and low‑frequency filtering.
• Tight Electrical Tolerance & Polarized — ±20% capacitance tolerance; polarized construction suitable for DC power rails in audio power supplies.
• Snap‑In Mounting / Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (snap‑in) configuration for secure chassis or PCB mounting in power assemblies.
• Low Loss Characteristic — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), supporting low dissipation in audio signal paths.
• Ripple Current & Leakage — Ripple current rating of 2.3 A at 120 Hz and a listed leakage current of 1350 µA, supporting sustained AC loading in power supply smoothing roles.
• Operating Range & Endurance — Operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C and endurance rated at 1000 hours at 85°C when subjected to rated voltage.
• RoHS Compliant — Declared RoHS status compliant for environmental regulation alignment.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Amplifiers — Bulk filtering and reservoir capacitance for amplifier power supplies where large capacitance and specified ripple handling are required.
• Pre‑amplifiers and Analog Audio Circuits — Supply decoupling and power stabilization to help maintain low noise and stable biasing in audio front ends.
• Power Supply Modules in Audio Equipment — Smoothing and transient energy storage in standalone power modules for professional and consumer audio gear.

Unique Advantages

• High Energy Density: 8.2 mF capacitance provides significant bulk storage for low‑frequency filtering and extended hold‑up in audio power rails.
• Audio‑Focused Grade (Gold Tune TYPE‑I): Designed within the LKG series for high‑grade audio equipment, aligning component selection with sound‑quality priorities.
• Robust Ripple Handling: 2.3 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports sustained AC loading typical of audio power supplies.
• Durability at Elevated Temperature: 1000‑hour endurance at 85°C under rated voltage gives predictable lifetime behavior in thermally active enclosures.
• Secure Snap‑In Mounting: Radial, snap‑in can simplifies mechanical installation for chassis and PCB modules requiring firm retention.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant to help meet environmental requirements in product assemblies.
