Overview of LKG1H272MESBAK – Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor for Audio
The Nichicon LKG1H272MESBAK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKG series designed for audio equipment, prioritizing high‑fidelity sound performance. It delivers 2.7 mF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact radial snap‑in can form factor suited to power filtering and energy storage in audio systems.
With a -40 °C to 85 °C operating range and a 1000‑hour endurance rating at 85 °C, this part is targeted at high‑grade audio applications where stable low‑frequency ripple handling, defined leakage, and reliable lifetime behavior are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage 2.7 mF (2700 µF) rated at 50 V provides bulk energy storage for power supply smoothing and decoupling in audio circuits.
- Audio‑oriented LKG Series Part of Nichicon's LKG family, designed for audio use with emphasis on high tone quality and fidelity for HD audio equipment.
- Snap‑In Mounting Radial, can — snap‑in package provides secure board retention and simplified assembly for chassis or PCB installations.
- Low‑Frequency Ripple Performance Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 2.05 A at 120 Hz supports smoothing of power rails in audio amplifiers and related power supplies.
- Electrical Loss and Leakage Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current of 1100 µA, enabling predictable audio performance and bias stability.
- Temperature & Endurance Operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C with a rated life of 1000 hours at 85 °C for defined long‑term behavior under thermal stress.
- Compact Mechanical Size Physical dimensions φ30 × 20 mm (Ø30 mm × 20 mm length) for space‑conscious layouts in audio equipment enclosures.
- Regulatory Compliance RoHS‑compliant construction for environmental and regulatory requirements.
Typical Applications
- High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers Bulk filtering and power smoothing to support stable supply rails and minimize audible ripple in hi‑fi amplifier designs.
- Audio Power Supplies Energy storage and ripple handling in linear and discrete power supplies for audio equipment.
- Consumer and Pro Audio Equipment Used where designers prioritize tone quality and reliable capacitance under typical audio operating conditions.
Unique Advantages
- Designed for Audio Fidelity: LKG series focus on sound quality provides a component choice aligned with high‑grade audio system requirements.
- High Capacitance at 50 V: 2.7 mF at a 50 V rating supplies substantial bulk capacitance in a compact snap‑in can, reducing the need for multiple series/parallel parts.
