LKG1H272MESAAK

The LKG1H272MESAAK is a Nichicon LKG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in (lug) can package, specified at 2.7 mF (2700 µF) and 50 V. It is part of the LKG family developed for audio equipment and high-fidelity audio use, combining high bulk capacitance with snap-in mounting for robust board retention.

Key electrical and environmental characteristics include a rated voltage of 50 V, low-frequency ripple current capability, a low loss tangent (tan δ), RoHS compliance, and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C with a 1000-hour endurance at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 50 V, tolerance ±20%.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal mounting (radial can, snap-in) provides secure mechanical retention for PCB assemblies.
• Audio-Grade Design — Part of the LKG series designed specifically for audio equipment; engineered with a low tan δ (0.3) to support high-fidelity audio applications.
• Power Handling — Low-frequency ripple current rating of 1.95 A at 120 Hz for handling power-supply ripple and smoothing duties in audio circuits.
• Leakage Current — Initial leakage current specified at 1100 µA.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating range from -40 °C to +85 °C with rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Compact Footprint — Cylindrical can with dimensions φ25 × 25 mm (diameter × length) for use where space and bulk capacitance must be balanced.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Bulk energy storage and power-supply smoothing where low loss (tan δ) and high capacitance support audio performance.
• Audio Equipment Power Supplies — Filtering and ripple suppression on ± and single-supply rails up to 50 V, leveraging the 1.95 A ripple current rating.
• Professional and Consumer Audio Systems — Use in preamplifiers, power amps, and other audio subsystems requiring stable capacitance over a wide temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance: 2.7 mF provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in audio power stages.
• Audio-Oriented Loss Characteristics: Specified tan δ of 0.3 supports low-loss performance important to preserving audio fidelity.
• Robust Ripple Handling: 1.95 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz allows reliable operation under typical audio power-supply ripple conditions.
• Durable Operating Envelope: Rated for -40 °C to +85 °C with 1000 h endurance at 85 °C, helping ensure stability in long-term audio applications.
• Secure Snap-In Mounting: Snap-in radial can simplifies placement and retention on PCBs for production assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports modern manufacturing and regulatory requirements.
