LKG1J152MESZBK

The LKG1J152MESZBK is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment. It combines a 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage in a compact radial can with snap-in terminals for board-level power filtering and energy storage.

Targeted at high-grade audio applications, this LKG-series part offers specification-driven benefits such as low loss (tan δ), high ripple-current handling, and defined endurance for designs that require reliable performance across -40°C to 85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) rated at 63 V with ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage for power-supply decoupling and filtering in audio systems.
• Audio-focused Series — Part of the Nichicon LKG family, developed "For Audio Use" and intended for high-grade audio equipment to prioritize high-fidelity sound quality.
• Low Loss — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3, supporting lower dissipation in audio signal and power applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.15 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing of power rails under dynamic audio loads.
• Leakage Current — Initial leakage current specified at 920 µA, suitable for power-supply and filtering applications where controlled leakage is required.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C with performance criteria for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage after endurance testing.
• Operating Temperature — Specified temperature range of -40°C to 85°C for stable operation across typical audio equipment environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can (φ22 × 35L) for secure board mounting and compact integration in chassis or PCB assemblies.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant as indicated for the series.

Typical Applications

• High-fidelity amplifiers — Bulk filtering and power smoothing on amplifier power rails to support clean, stable supply for audio stages.
• Audio power supplies — Energy storage and ripple suppression in regulated or discrete power-supply sections of audio equipment.
• Studio and pro-audio gear — Power management in mixers, preamps, and outboard devices where consistent audio performance is required.
• Home audio and AV receivers — Decoupling and smoothing in consumer high-density audio electronics requiring compact snap-in mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-native design: Positioned within Nichicon’s LKG series explicitly "For Audio Use," making it suitable for designs prioritizing sound quality.
• High ripple tolerance: 2.15 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz helps maintain stable supply rails under dynamic audio loads.
• Controlled dielectric loss: tan δ of 0.3 supports lower dissipation, contributing to efficient power handling in audio circuits.
• Defined endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C with post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage provides predictable long-term behavior.
• Compact snap-in package: φ22 × 35L radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies board-level mounting while conserving PCB space.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmentally constrained designs.
