LKG1H222MESCBK

The LKG1H222MESCBK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for audio equipment applications. It provides 2200 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact φ35 × 20 mm can with snap‑in mounting.

Designed for use in high‑fidelity audio circuits and related power supply stages, this component delivers 2.25 A low‑frequency ripple current (120 Hz) and is specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 2200 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage, and a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (±20%).
• Power Handling (Ripple): Low‑frequency ripple current of 2.25 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and reservoir duties in audio power circuits.
• Leakage & Dissipation: Specified leakage current of 990 µA and tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.3 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable loss and idle current characteristics.
• Endurance & Temperature: Rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C; operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C for extended field reliability.
• Package & Mounting: Snap‑in radial can (φ35 × 20 mm) for secure chassis or PCB mounting; tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant, meeting relevant directive requirements listed in the series documentation.

Typical Applications

• Audio Amplifiers: Bulk and decoupling capacitance for power supply rails in high‑fidelity amplifier modules.
• Studio & Consumer Audio Equipment: Power reservoir and filtering in preamplifiers, mixers, and high‑grade audio devices where audio‑focused components are specified.
• Power Supply Filtering: Smoothing and ripple suppression in linear and regulated supplies used by audio front‑end electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused design: Part of the LKG audio series, intended to prioritize sound quality considerations in system design.
• High ripple capability: 2.25 A low‑frequency ripple current rating supports demanding audio power stages and reduces thermal stress under load.
• Compact snap‑in package: φ35 × 20 mm can with snap‑in terminals simplifies mechanical retention and assembly in constrained chassis or PCB layouts.
• Wide temperature range: −40 °C to +85 °C operation and a 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C provide predictable lifetime behavior in typical audio environments.
• Measurable electrical characteristics: Specified tanδ and leakage current values at 20 °C/120 Hz help designers evaluate loss and standby power for system budgeting.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directive requirements for regulated markets.
