LKG1H222MESYAK

The LKG1H222MESYAK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, specified for audio use. It delivers 2.2 mF (2200 µF) of capacitance at a 50 V rating with polarized construction and snap‑in mounting for secure chassis or board connections.

Designed for high‑tone audio equipment, this part offers characteristics relevant to fidelity‑focused audio designs, including a measured tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 at 20°C/120 Hz, a rated ripple current of 1.85 A (120 Hz), and a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C. The component is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing; note this part is listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF (2200 µF) nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Audio‑oriented performance — Specified for audio equipment with emphasis on sound quality; tan δ = 0.3 (20°C, 120 Hz) indicating controlled loss for tonal applications.
• Ripple and leakage — Rated ripple current of 1.85 A at 120 Hz and a listed leakage current value of 990 µA provide measurable electrical behavior for power filtering considerations.
• Endurance & temperature — Operates from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Form factor & mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ20 × 30 mm) for robust chassis or PCB mounting; polarized type for correct polarity applications.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant; supplied in tray packing.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Intended for use in audio systems where tonal quality and fidelity are prioritized.
• HD audio components — Suitable for modules and assemblies described as HD audio in the LKG series documentation.
• Audio equipment requiring stable performance — For designs that require defined ripple handling, controlled tan δ and a rated lifetime at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused design: The LKG series is specified for audio use and emphasizes sound quality and tone characteristics relevant to fidelity applications.
