LKG1J152MESACK

The LKG1J152MESACK is a snap-in, large-can aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for use in audio equipment where stable filtering and reservoir performance are required. It combines a 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance, a 63 V rated voltage and a snap-in radial can package to support high-fidelity audio power applications.

This capacitor is specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C, with defined endurance and low-frequency ripple handling to meet the needs of professional and consumer audio designs that require reliable smoothing and decoupling under continuous load.

Key Features

• Audio-focused design — Part of the LKG series, designed specifically for high-grade audio equipment to prioritize sound quality and stable performance in audio power circuits.
• Capacitance and tolerance — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) with a tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C, providing predictable bulk energy storage for power supply smoothing and reservoir applications.
• Rated voltage — 63 V rating suitable for higher-voltage audio and amplifier power stages.
• Loss characteristics — tan δ = 0.22 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), enabling designers to assess dissipation for thermal and performance budgeting.
• Ripple and leakage — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.65 A (120 Hz) and leakage current specified at 920 µA to support continuous ripple handling and predictable leakage behavior.
• Reliability and lifetime — Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85 °C with recovery to standard specifications after the rated-voltage endurance test; designed for sustained operation in ambient conditions up to 85 °C.
• Mechanical and mounting — Snap-in radial can package (φ25 × 35 mm) for secure chassis or board retention and straightforward assembly; supplied in tray packing for handling.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-end audio power supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy reservoir for amplifier and preamplifier supplies, leveraging 1500 µF capacitance and 63 V rating for stable rail support.
• Professional audio amplifiers — Support for continuous ripple currents up to 2.65 A at 120 Hz, suitable for amplifier output stages and power-conditioning sections.
• Audio signal and system racks — Rack-mounted or chassis-mounted power modules where snap-in radial cans provide robust mechanical mounting and predictable electrical performance across −40 °C to +85 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-grade tuning: The LKG series is developed with audio performance priorities, making this capacitor suitable where sound quality and low-noise power are important.
• High-voltage capability: A 63 V rating enables use in higher-voltage audio power topologies without needing multiple caps in series.
• Strong ripple endurance: 2.65 A low-frequency ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports continuous ripple handling in power-supply applications.
• Specified endurance: 1000 hours at 85 °C provides a defined lifetime metric for thermal and longevity planning in product designs.
• Practical mounting and handling: Snap-in radial can construction and tray packing simplify assembly and mechanical retention for equipment builds.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tan δ and leakage current values (0.22 and 920 µA respectively) allow accurate thermal and leakage budgeting during design.
