LKG1H562MESAAK

The LKG1H562MESAAK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, designed for audio equipment. It combines a 5600 µF capacitance with a 50 V rating in a compact φ25 × 40 mm can (radial, snap‑in) for power filtering and energy storage in audio circuits.

Targeted at high‑fidelity audio applications, the part offers measured loss performance (tanδ 0.3 at 20 °C, 120 Hz), a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 2.9 A (120 Hz), and a 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C, addressing reliability and performance needs in premium audio designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5600 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for energy storage and smoothing in audio power supplies.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction (φ25 × 40 mm) for secure PCB mounting and integration into audio chassis and power modules.
• Audio‑oriented Performance — Specified tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.3 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting applications where low loss and stable audio performance matter.
• Ripple Current & Leakage — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 2.9 A at 120 Hz and a measured leakage current of 1580 µA, enabling effective filtering under typical audio power conditions.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C; operating temperature range from −40 °C to +85 °C for stable operation across common environmental conditions.
• Polarized Design — Polarized capacitor intended for DC filtering and energy storage in power rails common to audio amplifiers and signal chains.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Energy storage and supply decoupling to support transient current demands and minimize power‑rail ripple in amplifier stages.
• Studio and Consumer Audio Equipment — Power supply filtering and smoothing in mixers, preamps, DACs, and high‑end consumer audio systems where tonal quality and stability are important.
• Audio Power Modules — Bulk capacitance for regulated and unregulated supplies in modules that require compact, snap‑in mounting and reliable long‑term operation.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Can — 5600 µF in a φ25 × 40 mm package provides substantial bulk capacitance while conserving PCB and enclosure space.
• Designed for Audio Fidelity — Specified tanδ (0.3 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and series focus on audio applications to help preserve signal quality through reduced dissipation.
• Robust Ripple Handling — 2.9 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports effective smoothing under typical audio supply load cycles.
• Endurance Rated for Elevated Temperature — 1000 hours at 85 °C provides a measurable reliability metric for designers specifying longevity under thermal stress.
• Secure Snap‑In Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can simplifies assembly and provides a stable mechanical connection for vertically mounted bulk capacitors.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance supports deployment in markets with restricted substance requirements.
