Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio‑focused design — Part of Nichicon's LKG series developed for high‑grade audio equipment with a focus on high fidelity sound quality.
• Dissipation factor (tan δ) — tanδ specified at 0.3 (measurement condition: 20°C, 120 Hz) to characterize loss behavior in audio frequency ranges.
• Ripple handling — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 1.85 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and filtering duties in audio power stages.
• Leakage current — Rated leakage current of 750 µA after application of rated voltage at 20°C, enabling consistent bias behavior.
• Reliability / Endurance — 1000 hours life at 85°C with specified limits on capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage current after endurance test.
• Operating temperature — Specified range from −40°C to +85°C to accommodate a wide set of audio equipment environments.
• Package & mounting — Radial, can-type snap‑in mounting; compact size (φ22 × 25 mm / L: 2.5 cm × D: 2.2 cm) and tray packing for board‑level installation.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Bulk filtering and power supply smoothing where stable low‑frequency ripple performance contributes to sound quality.
• Professional audio equipment — Power bus decoupling and reservoir capacitance in mixers, preamps, and studio gear designed for high tonal fidelity.
• Consumer high‑end audio systems — Energy storage and smoothing in power supply stages for home receivers and integrated amplifiers.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio fidelity: LKG series construction targets high‑grade audio applications, prioritizing sonic performance.
• Measurable loss characteristics: Specified tanδ (0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz) provides a concrete indicator of dissipation behavior important to audio designers.
