LKG1E822MESZAK

The LKG1E822MESZAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified for audio applications. It delivers 8.2 mF (8200 µF) nominal capacitance at a 25 V rating in a compact radial snap‑in can (φ22 × 35 mm).

Designed with high‑grade audio use in mind, this TYPE‑I (AK) variant emphasizes tone quality through a specially developed electrolyte and construction targeted at HD Audio and high‑fidelity equipment.

Key Features

• Core Construction Aluminum electrolytic capacitor with snap‑in terminals in a radial can package for board‑level installation.
• Audio‑Oriented Design (TYPE‑I) Low‑profile, high‑tone‑quality grade using a newly developed electrolyte formulation, specified for high‑grade audio equipment.
• Electrical Ratings 8.2 mF (8200 µF) nominal capacitance, 25 V rated voltage, polarized.
• Loss & Measurement Tan δ = 0.3 (specified for this part; measurement reference in the series is 120 Hz at 20°C).
• Tolerance & Leakage Capacitance tolerance ±20%; leakage current after 5 minutes at 20°C is specified as not more than 3√(C·V) μA (C in μF, V in V) per the series specifications.
• Ripple & Endurance Rated ripple current 2.35 A at 120 Hz; endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage recovery.
• Environmental & Temperature Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C; RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Package & Dimensions Radial, snap‑in can; physical size φ22 × 35 mm (L: 3.5 × D: 2.2 cm). Marking printed with gold‑color lettering on a black sleeve per series marking convention.

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade Audio Systems — Suited for use in high‑grade consumer and professional audio equipment where tone quality is a priority.
• HD Audio Equipment — Targeted for circuits in HD Audio designs that require audio‑focused capacitor characteristics.
• Audio Power Sections — Appropriate for power circuits in audio equipment specified at 25 V with large capacitance needs within the stated temperature and endurance limits.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Electrolyte — TYPE‑I construction uses a newly developed electrolyte formulated to prioritize tone quality in audio applications.
• Low Loss Characteristic — Specified tan δ of 0.3 (series measurement conditions at 120 Hz, 20°C) supports designs where loss behavior affects audio performance.
• Robust Endurance — Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C with defined recovery and limits provides predictable long‑term behavior under rated conditions.
• Clear Leakage Specification — Leakage current defined by the series formula (≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C) enables straightforward system leakage budgeting.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulated substance requirements.
• Space‑Conscious Snap‑In Package — Radial snap‑in can (φ22 × 35 mm) balances large capacitance with compact board footprint for audio power module designs.
