LKG1H153MKN

The LKG1H153MKN is a large-can aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment applications. It is a lug-terminal (solder lug) radial can capacitor offering 15,000 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating and a polarization suitable for power supply filtering in audio systems.

Built for high-fidelity audio use, this Nichicon LKG-series part emphasizes low-frequency energy storage and reliable performance across a −40°C to +85°C operating range. It is RoHS-compliant and supplied in tray packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 50 V and a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio-oriented design — Part of the LKG series developed for high-grade audio equipment with a focus on high-fidelity sound quality.
• Loss and ripple performance — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified at 0.3 (measurement condition: 20°C, 120 Hz) and low-frequency ripple current of 6.1 A at 120 Hz for robust filtering under AC ripple loads.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 2590 µA, defined per product measurement conditions.
• Thermal and endurance rating — Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Mechanical/package — Radial can with solder-lug (lag terminal) mounting; physical size approximately φ40 × 80 mm (L: 8 × D: 4 cm) and supplied in tray packing for handling.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-fidelity audio amplifiers — Bulk energy storage and low-frequency filtering to support clean power rails and reduce low-frequency ripple in output stages.
• Studio and consumer audio equipment — Designed for high-grade audio equipment where sonic performance and stable supply decoupling are required.
• Audio power supplies and filters — Provides large capacitance and high ripple-current handling for smoothing and reservoir functions in audio power sections.

Unique Advantages

• Large bulk capacitance — 15,000 µF provides substantial energy reserve for low-frequency smoothing and improved supply stability in audio power chains.
• High ripple-current capability — 6.1 A (120 Hz) rating reduces internal heating under ripple loads, supporting sustained performance in demanding audio power applications.
• Audio-focused design criteria — Part of Nichicon’s LKG series developed specifically with high-fidelity audio performance in mind.
• Extended endurance at elevated temperature — 1000 hours at 85°C endurance rating supports long-term reliability in sustained thermal environments.
• Robust mechanical termination — Lug (solder-lug) terminal and radial can construction facilitate secure mounting and reliable electrical connections for chassis- or PCB-mounted audio equipment.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction simplifies regulatory acceptance for equipment designs.
