Overview of LKG1H392MESABK – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 3.9 mF, 50 V, Snap‑in
The LKG1H392MESABK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LKG series, featuring a snap‑in radial can package and a 3.9 mF (3900 µF) capacitance at a 50 V rating. The LKG series is developed for audio equipment, prioritizing high‑fidelity sound quality and stable power filtering where audible performance matters.
This part is offered with a ±20% capacitance tolerance, a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3, an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, and a specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C. Note: this part is listed as End of Life/Discontinued—availability may be limited.
Key Features
- Capacitance — 3.9 mF (3900 µF) for bulk energy storage and supply smoothing in audio power rails.
- Rated Voltage — 50 V rating suitable for mid‑voltage audio supply designs.
- Tolerance & Loss — ±20% capacitance tolerance and tan δ = 0.3 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) to characterize AC loss behavior.
- Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (lug / snap‑in terminal) for secure board retention and mechanical stability in through‑hole assemblies.
- Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage.
- Ripple Current — 3 A at 120 Hz, suitable for filtering and smoothing duties at typical audio frequencies.
- Polarized — Electrolytic polarized capacitor intended for DC power applications.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements.
Typical Applications
- High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Bulk and decoupling capacitance for analog amplification stages and power supply smoothing where audio performance is critical.
- Audio Power Supply Filtering — Energy storage and ripple reduction on DC rails feeding preamplifiers and power amps.
- Professional Audio Equipment — Use in mixers, studio rack gear, and other pro audio modules that require reliable, high‑capacity filtering.
Unique Advantages
- Substantial Bulk Storage: 3.9 mF capacitance provides significant energy reserve for smoothing transient demands in audio power supplies.
- Mid‑Voltage Capability: 50 V rating offers headroom for common audio supply architectures without resorting to higher‑voltage components.
- Snap‑In Mechanical Retention: Radial snap‑in can design secures the capacitor to the PCB for robust mechanical and thermal cycling performance.
- Audio‑Oriented Series Design: Part of Nichicon's LKG series developed for audio use, aligning component selection with fidelity‑focused designs.
- Specified Endurance: 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage gives a defined reliability metric for thermal and life‑cycle planning.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies material selection for regulated markets.
