• Electrical rating — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for audio power rail and filtering applications requiring this capacitance/voltage combination.
• Loss and ripple characteristics — Specified tangent of loss angle tanδ of 0.3 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and a low-frequency ripple current rating of 1.9 A at 120 Hz.
• Leakage current — Leakage current specified at 920 µA, measured per the part data.
• Endurance and temperature range — Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C; operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C.
• Package and mounting — Radial, can-type snap-in package (φ22 × 25 L / L: 2.5 × D: 2.2 cm) supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Compliance and marking — RoHS compliant; series marking is printed in gold color on a black sleeve as noted in the LKG series documentation.

Typical Applications

• Professional audio equipment — Use in power supply filtering and decoupling for high-grade amplifiers and audio electronics where the LKG series audio focus is required.
• High-fidelity playback systems — Capacitor selection for designers of playback and reproduction systems seeking specified loss and ripple performance at 63 V.
• Audio power supply filtering — Smoothing and bulk storage on DC rails in audio applications, leveraging the 1500 µF capacitance and 1.9 A ripple rating at 120 Hz.
• HD audio electronics — Components for HD audio equipment consistent with the LKG series’ stated objective of meeting high tone quality needs.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio fidelity — Part of the LKG family specified for high-grade audio equipment, aligning component selection with audio-first design goals.
• Sufficient voltage headroom — 63 V rating provides capability for higher-voltage audio power rails compared to lower-voltage electrolytics.
• Measured loss and ripple specs — Defined tanδ (0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and 1.9 A ripple current rating give clear, testable parameters for power supply design.
• Robust endurance rating — 1000 hours at 85°C endurance specification supports predictable lifetime planning in thermal environments up to the rated temperature.
• Tray packing and snap-in package — Radial snap-in construction and tray packing aid handling and mechanical mounting in chassis or PCB assemblies.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in the product information.
