LKG1E822MESYAK

The LKG1E822MESYAK from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for high‑grade audio equipment. It is a TYPE‑I grade (Gold Tune) snap‑in can designed with a low‑profile, high‑tone quality electrolyte to prioritize high‑fidelity sound performance in HD audio applications.

This polarized radial can offers 8.2 mF capacitance at a 25 V rating, ±20% tolerance, and a snap‑in mounting package suitable for robust mechanical retention. It is RoHS compliant and specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Audio‑focused design — TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) construction with a new development electrolyte targeted at high‑fidelity sound quality for HD audio equipment.
• Capacitance and voltage — 8.2 mF rated capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Polarized, snap‑in package — Radial, can snap‑in mounting provides secure board retention for chassis or PCB installations.
• Thermal and endurance ratings — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C; endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85 °C with post‑test limits of ±20% capacitance change, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial, and leakage current ≤ initial specified value.
• Electrical characteristics — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 2.4 A at 120 Hz; leakage current after 5 minutes at 20 °C limited to ≤ 3√(C·V) μA (C in μF, V in V).
• Low‑temperature impedance stability — Impedance ratios limited to Z(−25 °C)/Z(+20 °C) ≤ 4 and Z(−40 °C)/Z(+20 °C) ≤ 12, providing defined behavior at cold temperatures.
• Identification and finish — Marked with gold‑color letters on a black sleeve for clear grade and polarity identification; part of Nichicon’s LKG series.
• Regulatory — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio systems — Designed for use in equipment where high fidelity and tone quality are prioritized, including HD audio components.
• Professional audio equipment — Suitable for audio gear that requires reliable snap‑in capacitors with specified endurance and temperature performance.
• Audio subsystem assemblies — Used where a polarized, radial snap‑in can form factor and defined ripple current capability are required.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused electrolyte formulation — TYPE‑I low‑profile electrolyte construction emphasizes high tone quality for demanding audio applications.
• Snap‑in mechanical reliability — Radial snap‑in can package delivers secure mounting for chassis and board assembly without additional hardware.
• Defined endurance and stability — 1000 hours at 85 °C endurance rating with post‑test limits ensures predictable long‑term electrical behavior.
• Measurable low‑temperature performance — Specified impedance ratios for −25 °C and −40 °C provide designers with quantifiable cold‑temperature response.
• Clear marking and polarity identification — Gold lettering on a black sleeve simplifies assembly verification and reduces installation errors.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS conformity supports lead‑restricted bill‑of‑materials requirements.
