LKG1H182MESYAK

The LKG1H182MESYAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can package, specified for audio equipment where high fidelity sound quality is a priority. It delivers 1800 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating with characteristics targeted to HD audio and high‑grade audio system designs.

Designed within Nichicon's LKG series for audio use, this capacitor combines bulk capacitance, a low loss tangent specification at audio test conditions, and a construction suitable for board mounting with snap‑in terminals.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance at 50 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, providing substantial bulk energy storage for audio circuits.
• Low Loss at Audio Test Conditions — Specified tan δ of 0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting low-loss operation under audio‑frequency measurement conditions.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 1.7 A at 120 Hz, suitable for applications with moderate AC ripple at line‑frequency test points.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction for secure board mounting and mechanical stability in equipment chassis.
• Operating Range & Reliability — Rated for −40°C to +85°C operating temperature with endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Polarized Aluminum Electrolytic — Polarized device appropriate for DC bias applications typically found in audio power and signal circuits.
• Physical Size — Compact footprint with dimensions listed as L: 2.5 × D: 2 cm, enabling use in constrained audio assemblies.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Amplifiers — Used in amplifier designs where priority is placed on fidelity and tone quality in output stages and power sections.
• HD Audio Equipment — Suited for high‑definition audio systems that require capacitors specified to meet tone‑quality objectives.
• Audio System Power Modules — Employed where bulk capacitance and stable performance at 120 Hz are required in audio power supply circuitry.
