LKG1H152MESZCK

The LKG1H152MESZCK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, configured in a snap-in (lug) radial can package for board-mounted power and audio assemblies. It is specified for audio use and designed for high-grade audio equipment with a focus on high-fidelity, HD audio tone quality.

Key electrical and mechanical attributes include 1500 µF capacitance at 50 V, a low-loss characteristic (tan δ 0.22), snap-in mounting, and RoHS compliance. The part is offered as a TYPE-III (Super Through) grade within the LKG family, reflecting the series’ high-tone-quality design intent.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.5 mF (1500 µF) rated at 50 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in audio power rails.
• Audio-Focused Grade: Part of the LKG series designed for audio use; the TYPE-III (CK) grade is positioned for the highest tone quality within the series.
• Low Loss Performance: Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.22 measured at 120 Hz, 20°C to support low dissipation in audio signal paths and power filtering.
• Ripple Handling: Ripple current rating of 2.2 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and filtering duties in audio power supplies.
• Mechanical & Mounting: Snap-in radial can package with dimensions L: 45 mm × D: 22 mm for board retention and easy assembly into chassis or PCBs.
• Operating Range & Reliability: Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance/lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C, with specified limits on capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage after endurance testing.
• Polarized Design: Polarized electrolytic capacitor intended for DC applications where polarity is defined.
• Regulatory Compliance: Compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio amplifiers: Bulk supply filtering and decoupling to support stable power rails and preserve audio fidelity in amplifier designs.
• Preamp and audio processing units: Power smoothing and energy buffering where low-loss and tonal quality are required.
• HD audio systems and components: Use in power sections of devices targeting high‑definition audio playback to support consistent tone characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-optimized series grade: TYPE-III (CK) designation aligns the part with the LKG series’ highest-tone-quality design intent for audio applications.
• Measurable low dissipation: tan δ = 0.22 at 120 Hz, 20 °C provides a quantifiable low-loss characteristic relevant to audio and filter networks.
• Practical ripple capability: 2.2 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports effective smoothing in audio power supplies and reduces stress on upstream regulators.
• Compact snap-in package: Radial, snap-in can (L: 45 mm × D: 22 mm) simplifies board mounting and mechanical retention in chassis-mounted audio equipment.
• Robust ambient range and proven endurance: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C provides predictable behavior over typical audio equipment lifecycles.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances in electronic products.
