LKG1H152MESYCK

The LKG1H152MESYCK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered specifically for audio equipment. It combines a 1,500 µF capacitance with a 50 V rating in a compact φ20 × 50 mm can with snap‑in mounting for robust panel or chassis installation.

Designed for high‑fidelity audio applications, this capacitor offers measurable electrical performance—low‑frequency ripple handling, controlled loss (tanδ), and defined endurance—making it suitable for power filtering and smoothing tasks in audio circuits that require stable capacitance and reliable operation between −40 °C and 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 1,500 µF rated capacitance at 50 V, with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Loss Tangent (tanδ) — Specified tanδ of 0.22 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting predictable AC performance in audio frequency ranges.
• Low‑Frequency Ripple Handling — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 2.2 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and decoupling in audio power stages.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 820 µA, enabling controlled standby and bias behavior in amplifier and preamplifier circuits.
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to 85 °C with endurance specified as 1,000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage conditions.
• Package and Mounting — Snap‑in (radial can) package, φ20 × 50 mm size and tray packing for easier handling and installation in audio equipment assemblies.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Bulk filtering and power supply smoothing to support stable audio performance and low hum in amplifier rails.
• Audio Power Supply Modules — Energy storage and ripple suppression in power sections of receivers, preamplifiers, and active speakers.
• Signal Conditioning in Audio Systems — Decoupling and reservoir capacitance where defined tanδ and leakage characteristics contribute to consistent tonal behavior.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Design — Part of Nichicon’s LKG series developed for audio equipment, offering component characteristics chosen with high‑fidelity sound in mind.
• Measured AC Performance — Specified tanδ and ripple current values let designers quantify AC losses and thermal loading in audio power circuits.
• Robust Environmental Range — −40 °C to 85 °C operating range and a 1,000‑hour endurance rating at 85 °C support reliable operation across typical audio equipment conditions.
• Snap‑in Mounting for Secure Installation — Radial snap‑in can package simplifies chassis or PCB assembly where secure mechanical retention is needed.
• RoHS Compliance — Meets RoHS requirements for regulatory and environmental considerations in commercial audio product designs.
