LKG1H152MESBBK

The LKG1H152MESBBK from Nichicon is a snap‑in, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKG series, specified for audio equipment. It delivers 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact φ30 × 20 mm can, and is designed with a focus on high‑fidelity audio applications.

Key electrical characteristics include a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 1.8 A (at 120 Hz), a specified tanδ of 0.3 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), and a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C. Note: product status is End Of Life.

Key Features

• Audio‑focused design — Part of the LKG series developed for high‑grade audio equipment with emphasis on fidelity and tonal quality.
• Electrical performance — 1500 µF capacitance at 50 V with capacitance tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and tanδ = 0.3 (20 °C, 120 Hz).
• Ripple and leakage — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 1.8 A (120 Hz) and a measured leakage current of 820 µA.
• Robust endurance — Specified endurance: 1000 hours at 85 °C with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage after the test.
• Compact snap‑in can package — Radial, snap‑in terminal style in a φ30 × 20 mm can for secure mounting and easy board installation (tray packing).
• Wide operating temperature — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C operating range.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements as noted in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Designed specifically for use in high‑grade audio systems where capacitance, ripple handling, and tonal quality are important.
• Power supply filtering in audio circuits — 1500 µF capacitance and 1.8 A ripple rating support low‑frequency smoothing tasks in audio power rails.
• High‑fidelity component assemblies — Suitable where designers prioritize sound quality and require electrolytic smoothing with defined endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio fidelity: The LKG series is specified for high‑grade audio equipment, emphasizing sound quality in system designs.
• Measurable ripple capability: Rated 1.8 A at 120 Hz, enabling designers to specify ripple handling explicitly for low‑frequency filtering tasks.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ30 × 20 mm snap‑in can provides a small footprint with secure mounting for board assemblies shipped in tray packing.
• Validated endurance: 1000 hours at 85 °C endurance rating with post‑test limits for capacitance, tanδ and leakage supports predictable long‑term behavior under rated stress.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental directive requirements noted in the product data.
