Overview of LKG1J152MESABK – Aluminum Electrolytic Snap‑In Capacitor for Audio
The LKG1J152MESABK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, engineered for use in audio equipment where high fidelity is prioritized. This polarized, radial can package delivers 1500 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating with construction and specifications targeted at audio applications.
Designed with reliability in mind, the part is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C and a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C. Packaging is tray packed for board‑level handling.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance — 1500 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 63 V rated voltage, suitable for energy storage and decoupling in audio power circuits.
- Audio‑Oriented Design — Part of the LKG series developed for high‑grade audio equipment and a priority on high fidelity sound quality.
- Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and a specified leakage current of 920 µA.
- Ripple Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current specified at 2.1 A (120 Hz), enabling sustained performance under audio power supply ripple conditions.
- Reliability & Lifetime — Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C with specified post‑test limits: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ within 200% of initial, and leakage current not exceeding initial values.
- Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (φ25 × 30L) for secure chassis or PCB assembly; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
- Operating Range & Compliance — Operating temperature −40°C to +85°C and RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- High‑grade Audio Equipment — Intended for use where audio fidelity is a priority; fits designs requiring stable capacitance and low loss at audio frequencies.
- Audio Power Supplies — Energy storage and smoothing in amplifier and preamplifier power stages operating up to 63 V.
- Professional Audio Electronics — Suitable for chassis‑mounted or board‑mounted designs using snap‑in mounting and radial can packages.
