Overview of LKG1H152MESBCK – 1500 µF, 50 V Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LKG1H152MESBCK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor engineered for audio equipment applications. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can package optimized for power filtering and reservoir duties in high‑fidelity audio designs.
Key electrical and mechanical characteristics include a 0.22 tanδ (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C), 2.15 A ripple current at 120 Hz, -40 °C to +85 °C operating range, and a 1000 hour endurance at 85 °C, delivering stable performance across typical audio system environments.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power rails.
- Audio‑Focused Construction Designed for high‑grade audio equipment as part of the LKG series to prioritize fidelity and tone quality in audio power stages and signal chain supply filtering.
- Loss & Leakage Low dissipation factor (tanδ = 0.22 at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and specified leakage current (820 µA) for predictable idle losses and low noise contribution.
- Ripple Handling Rated ripple current of 2.15 A at 120 Hz to support dynamic load currents in audio amplifiers and power supply filters.
- Mounting & Package Snap‑in radial can (φ30 × 30 mm length) for easy, secure vertical PCB mounting and robust mechanical retention.
- Temperature & Endurance Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with a 1000 hour endurance rating at 85 °C to meet long‑term stability requirements under elevated temperature conditions.
- Compliance & Marking RoHS compliant; marked in gold color on a black sleeve for clear identification.
Typical Applications
- High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Bulk reservoir and power‑rail smoothing to maintain stable supply for amplifier stages and reduce low‑frequency ripple.
- Pro and Consumer Audio Equipment — Filtering and decoupling in mixers, preamps, and powered speakers where sound quality is prioritized.
- Studio Electronics and Signal Conditioning — Power filtering in gear where low noise and consistent tonal characteristics are required.
Unique Advantages
- Audio‑centric design: Specified and marketed for high‑grade audio equipment, making it suitable where tonal fidelity matters.
- High energy storage at 50 V: 1500 µF provides substantial reservoir capacity for smoothing and transient support in audio power supplies.
- Robust ripple capability: 2.15 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports dynamic audio loads and reduces heating under real‑world conditions.
- Wide operating range: −40 °C to +85 °C operation enables use across typical indoor and controlled‑environment audio installations.
- Durability under stress: 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C for predictable long‑term behavior in elevated temperature applications.
- RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directive requirements for lead‑free manufacturing processes.
