LKG1H152MESZAK

The LKG1H152MESZAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial snap-in can package, specified at 1500 µF and 50 V with ±20% tolerance. It is part of Nichicon's LKG series, a family designed for audio equipment and high-fidelity audio applications.

Key attributes include a low-loss characteristic (tan δ 0.3), an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C, and snap-in mounting for secure board installation. This part is listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage  1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 50 V and ±20% tolerance, suitable where medium bulk storage is required.
• Audio-Optimized Series  Part of the LKG series which is designed for high-grade audio equipment and prioritizes high-fidelity sound quality.
• Loss Characteristics  Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 (measurement conditions per series datasheet), reflecting controlled ESR-related losses for audio use.
• Ripple Handling  Rated ripple current of 1.55 A at 120 Hz, enabling support for moderate AC ripple in power supply and audio power stages.
• Temperature & Endurance  Operating range from -40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C, and shelf-life/endurance recovery procedures defined in the series datasheet.
• Mechanical & Mounting  Radial can, snap-in terminal package (φ22 × 20L) for robust board retention and simplified assembly into audio equipment chassis.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant as specified for the series.

Typical Applications

• High-fidelity audio amplifiers  Bulk power smoothing and decoupling on supply rails where 1500 µF and 50 V are required to support clean audio power delivery.
• Professional audio equipment  Power supply and coupling roles in mixers, preamplifiers, and other high-grade audio devices specified by the LKG series.
• Audio power stages and speaker systems  Filtering and energy storage in systems that demand controlled loss characteristics and moderate ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-centric design: Part of a series explicitly developed for high-grade audio equipment, supporting fidelity-focused component selection.
• Balanced electrical performance: 1500 µF at 50 V with tan δ 0.3 and 1.55 A ripple rating provides a practical balance of bulk capacitance and ripple tolerance for audio power supplies.
• Robust snap-in packaging: Radial snap-in can (φ22 × 20L) offers secure mechanical retention and straightforward mounting for chassis and PCB installations.
• Wide operating range and endurance: Rated for -40 °C to +85 °C operation with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C, suitable for equipment that must maintain performance across typical audio operating environments.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements as indicated in series documentation.
