LKG1H822MESCAK

The LKG1H822MESCAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, engineered for audio equipment. It provides high capacitance with a 50 V rating in a compact φ35 × 30 mm can, tailored for high‑grade audio applications where bulk energy storage and low loss are important.

Designed for audio use, this snap‑in type capacitor combines 8.2 mF capacitance, measurable low loss (tanδ = 0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz), and a specified low‑frequency ripple rating to support power supply filtering and decoupling in sound systems.

Key Features

• Core Electrical Performance 8.2 mF nominal capacitance at 50 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, providing substantial energy storage for power rail smoothing in audio equipment.
• Low Loss Characteristic Specified tanδ of 0.3 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), enabling reduced dissipation and improved audio fidelity in demanding signal and power circuits.
• Ripple and Leakage Low‑frequency ripple current rated at 3.65 A (120 Hz) and a specified leakage current of 1920 µA, giving clear parameters for thermal and ripple handling in power designs.
• Reliability & Endurance Life rating of 1000 hours at 85°C with specified endurance limits for capacitance, tanδ, and leakage after test conditions.
• Operating Range Wide operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C for stable performance across typical audio equipment environments.
• Mechanical & Mounting Snap‑in radial can package (φ35 × 30 mm) for secure panel/board mounting and simplified assembly in rack or chassis designs.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS‑compliant construction as specified in the LKG series documentation.
• Packaging Supplied in tray packing for consistent handling and assembly readiness.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Bulk smoothing and reservoir capacitance for power supply rails to support low‑noise audio reproduction.
• Professional audio equipment — Energy storage and decoupling in mixers, preamps, and signal processing units where stable power is required.
• Audio power supplies — Filtering and ripple suppression in regulated and unregulated supplies used in audio gear.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance per volume: 8.2 mF in a φ35 × 30 mm can gives substantial energy storage in a compact package for space‑constrained audio designs.
• Defined low‑loss behavior: tanδ = 0.3 at 20°C/120 Hz provides a verifiable dissipation metric for engineers optimizing audio power stages.
• Clear ripple and leakage specifications: 3.65 A ripple current (120 Hz) and 1920 µA leakage current allow precise thermal and performance budgeting.
• Endurance characterized at elevated temperature: 1000 hours at 85°C defines expected long‑term behavior under typical operating stress.
• Snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in can simplifies mechanical retention and quick assembly in chassis or PCB arrangements.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental directive requirements as documented for the LKG series.
