LKG1H472MESCBK

The LKG1H472MESCBK is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor optimized for audio applications. As a TYPE-III (Super Through) member of Nichicon's LKG series, it prioritizes high-fidelity sound quality through design choices such as gold-plated terminals and audio-focused construction.

With a rated capacitance of 4.7 mF (4700 µF) at 50 V, snap-in radial can packaging, and RoHS compliance, this capacitor is intended for HD audio and high-grade audio equipment where stable filtering and tonal fidelity are important.

Key Features

• Audio-grade TYPE-III construction  Designed for high-grade audio equipment; TYPE-III denotes the series' highest tone quality grade with gold-plated terminals to reduce contact drag.
• Capacitance & voltage  4.7 mF (4700 µF) rated at 50 V for audio power supply smoothing and energy storage in audio systems.
• Package & mounting  Snap-in terminal, radial can package in φ35 × 30L form factor with a compact footprint (L: 3.0 cm × D: 3.5 cm).
• Electrical tolerance & polarity  Capacitance tolerance ±20% and polarized construction for DC power applications in audio equipment.
• Performance & ripple handling  Rated ripple current: 3.35 A at 120 Hz, suitable for low-frequency ripple conditions typical in audio power supplies.
• Temperature & endurance  Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C with rated endurance of 1,000 hours at 85 °C.
• Environmental compliance  RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), marked with gold color lettering on a black sleeve.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment  Intended for use in premium audio products where fidelity and tone quality are prioritized.
• HD audio systems  Suited to power supply smoothing and reservoir duties in high-definition audio electronics to support consistent tonal performance.
• Audio amplifier power rails  Used for bulk decoupling and ripple reduction on amplifier supply rails in customer audio designs.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused terminal design  Gold-plated terminals reduce contact drag and are specified by the series as contributing to higher tone quality.
• High capacitance at 50 V  Provides substantial energy storage for audio power supplies in a compact snap-in can.
• Snap-in radial package  Delivers secure mechanical mounting for chassis or board installations while maintaining a small footprint (L: 3.0 cm × D: 3.5 cm).
• Verified ripple capability  3.35 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports typical low-frequency filtering needs in audio power stages.
• Durability in operating range  Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C and 1,000 hours at 85 °C endurance for predictable long-term behavior under rated conditions.
• Regulatory compliance  RoHS status ensures suitability for products with restricted substance requirements.
