LKG1H182MESABK

The LKG1H182MESABK is an aluminum electrolytic snap‑in capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, specified for audio equipment. It provides 1.8 mF (1800 µF) capacitance at a 50 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can package sized φ25 × 40 mm and is supplied in tray packing.

This part is produced as an audio‑grade element in the LKG family (TYPE‑II / "Gold Tune" grade indicated by the BK suffix) and targets high‑fidelity audio applications where low loss and robust ripple handling are required. Key electrical characteristics include a rated capacitance tolerance of ±20%, tan δ of 0.3 (20°C, 120 Hz), low‑frequency ripple capability, and specified endurance at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance at a 50 V rated voltage, suitable for decoupling and energy storage in audio power circuits.
• Audio‑Grade Construction (TYPE‑II / "Gold Tune"): The BK suffix in the part number denotes TYPE‑II grade within the LKG series, designed for high‑grade audio equipment and HD audio applications.
• Low Loss (tan δ): Specified tan δ = 0.3 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting low‑loss operation in audio signal and power paths.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low‑frequency ripple current rated at 2.15 A (120 Hz), enabling effective smoothing in audio power supplies.
• Leakage Current: Leakage current specified at 900 µA for initial performance reference.
• Endurance & Temperature Range: Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C; operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, snap‑in can (φ25 × 40 mm) for secure vertical board mounting and simplified assembly; shipped in tray packing.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS‑compliant per the product information provided for the LKG series.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers: Use for power supply smoothing and bulk storage where audio fidelity and low loss are priorities.
• HD Audio Equipment: Intended for use in high‑grade audio systems and consumer/professional HD audio devices requiring audio‑focused capacitor characteristics.
• Audio Power Supplies and Filters: Suitable for decoupling and ripple suppression in audio‑centric power rails.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused grading: TYPE‑II ("Gold Tune") designation aligns the part with LKG series design choices aimed at high‑grade audio applications.
• Measured low loss: Specified tan δ of 0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz provides a clear, measurable indicator of low dissipation in audio frequency operation.
• High ripple handling for size: Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 2.15 A (120 Hz) supports effective filtering in compact can dimensions (φ25 × 40 mm).
• Robust thermal endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C and an operating range of −40°C to +85°C provide predictable performance over extended high‑temperature exposure.
• Snap‑in radial form factor: Snap‑in can and tray packing ease board mounting and handling during assembly.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports use in designs targeting restricted‑substance conformance.
