This part is designed with audio use in mind and ships in tray packing. Note: the product status is End Of Life; request a quote for remaining inventory or for assistance identifying current alternatives.

Key Features

• Audio‑grade design — Part of the LKG series developed specifically for high‑grade audio equipment with emphasis on fidelity.
• 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.
• Low‑frequency ripple handling — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 3.6 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective ripple suppression in power circuits.
• Loss tangent (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.3 (measurement condition: 20°C, 120 Hz), useful for predicting dissipation in audio frequency environments.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 1580 µA after rated voltage application, allowing designers to account for standby and bias currents.
• Endurance and temperature — Rated life of 1000 hours at 85°C with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
• Package & mounting — Radial, snap‑in can (φ35 × 35 mm) for secure chassis/PCB mounting; shipped in tray packing.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives as indicated in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity amplifiers — Bulk energy storage and power‑supply smoothing to support clean audio reproduction in amplifier stages.
• Professional audio equipment — Power filtering and decoupling in mixers, preamps, and studio signal chains where audio‑grade components are specified.
• Audio power supplies — Filtering and ripple suppression on low‑frequency rails, leveraging the 3.6 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused series — Part of Nichicon’s LKG family, designed with audio performance priorities that are documented in the series literature.
• High ripple capability — 3.6 A low‑frequency ripple rating at 120 Hz helps maintain rail stability under dynamic audio loads.
• Compact snap‑in form factor — φ35 × 35 mm radial snap‑in can offers a space‑efficient mounting option for chassis and PCB layouts.
• Specified endurance — 1000 hours at 85°C endurance rating provides a defined reliability baseline for thermal stress planning.
• Measured dissipation and leakage data — Published tan δ (0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (1580 µA) allow precise system‑level power and noise budgeting.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to environmental requirements noted in the product documentation.
