LKG1H103MESCAK

The LKG1H103MESCAK is a snap-in, aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series engineered for audio applications. It provides 10,000 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a radial, snap-in can designed for secure chassis or PCB mounting.

Built for high-grade audio equipment, this TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) part emphasizes tone quality and reliable power filtering in audio signal and power-supply circuits, with a rated operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C and an endurance rating of 1,000 hours at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage
 10,000 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measurement at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Audio‑Grade Construction
 Designed for high-grade audio equipment; the TYPE‑I (AK) grade emphasizes high tone quality as described in the LKG series specifications.
• Snap‑in Mounting
 Radial, can-style snap-in package (φ35 × 35L) provides secure mechanical retention for chassis or PCB assemblies.
• Electrical Performance
 Low-frequency ripple current capability of 4 A at 120 Hz and a measured tan δ (DF) of 0.3 at 20 °C, 120 Hz for predictable AC behavior in power‑filtering roles.
• Leakage & Reliability
 Specified leakage current of 2,120 µA and endurance of 1,000 hours at 85 °C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage after life testing.
• Temperature Range & Compliance
 Operating temperature from -40 °C to 85 °C; RoHS‑compliant per product data.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers
 Bulk filtering and smoothing in amplifier power supplies where audio tone quality and stable capacitance under load are important.
• Professional Audio Equipment
 Power supply decoupling and reservoir capacitance in mixers, preamps, and studio electronics that demand high‑grade audio performance.
• HD Audio Systems
 Energy storage and ripple suppression for high‑definition consumer audio components to help maintain signal integrity.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Grade: The TYPE‑I (AK) designation signals the LKG series’ low‑profile, high‑tone‑quality electrolyte formulation for audio applications.
• High Capacitance Density: 10,000 µF at 50 V provides substantial energy storage for power‑supply smoothing in compact packages.
• Robust Ripple Handling: 4 A low‑frequency ripple current rating at 120 Hz helps control self‑heating and maintain performance under alternating load.
• Endurance Specification: 1,000 hours at 85 °C with defined post‑test limits offers predictable lifecycle behavior for thermal stress scenarios.
• Secure Mounting: Snap‑in radial can package (φ35 × 35L) enables reliable mechanical retention in chassis and board assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction aligns with regulated material requirements.
