LKG1H102MESYCK

The LKG1H102MESYCK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for audio equipment. It delivers 1000 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can package designed for panel or chassis mounting and power filtering in audio applications.

This part combines a compact φ20 × 35 mm can with high low‑frequency ripple capability, controlled dissipation factor, and a wide operating temperature range to support sustained performance in audio power circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1000 µF nominal with a tolerance of ±20% (−20% ~ +20%) at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Rated Voltage — 50 V DC rating for power rail and smoothing applications.
• Dissipation Factor (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.22 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable AC loss characteristics.
• Low‑Frequency Ripple Current — 1.8 A (1800 mA) at 120 Hz to support audio power supply ripple handling.
• Leakage Current — 670 µA specified after voltage application, aiding predictable bias behavior in DC circuits.
• Endurance — Rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage.
• Temperature Range — Operating from −40°C to +85°C for use across typical indoor and professional audio environments.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in radial can, tray packing; compact size φ20 × 35 mm (approx. 2.0 × 3.5 cm) for efficient board or chassis integration.
• Polarized — Suitable for DC power supply smoothing where polarity is defined.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as specified for the LKG series.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Bulk smoothing and power decoupling to support low‑noise audio rails and consistent output performance.
• Audio Power Supplies — Filtering and ripple reduction in linear and switch‑mode power supplies used in audio equipment.
• Professional Audio Gear — Energy storage and transient support in mixers, preamps, and outboard processors requiring sustained ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Design — Part of Nichicon’s LKG series developed specifically for audio equipment, aligning component characteristics with high‑fidelity needs.
• High Low‑Frequency Ripple Capability — 1.8 A ripple rating at 120 Hz supports robust smoothing in audio power stages, reducing audible hum and supply modulation.
• Controlled Dissipation Factor — tan δ = 0.22 at 20°C, 120 Hz provides predictable AC loss behavior for design tuning.
• Compact Snap‑In Form Factor — φ20 × 35 mm radial snap‑in can allows space‑efficient installation while delivering substantial capacitance for audio circuits.
• Durability Under Load — Endurance specified for 1000 hours at 85°C ensures defined performance limits for long‑term use in elevated temperature environments.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted‑substance conformance.
