LKG1J182MESACK

The LKG1J182MESACK from Nichicon is a snap‑in, large‑can aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high‑fidelity audio equipment. It combines a 1.8 mF (1800 µF) capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and snap‑in radial can package to serve audio power supply and signal conditioning roles.

Key electrical attributes include a measured tanδ of 0.22 (120 Hz, 20°C), a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 2.9 A (120 Hz), and a specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage, suitable for audio power and filtering tasks where moderate energy storage is required.
• Audio‑Oriented Design: Part of the LKG series developed for high‑grade audio equipment and HD audio applications, prioritizing sound quality in component selection.
• Loss Characteristic: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified at 0.22 measured at 120 Hz and 20°C, supporting predictable dissipation characteristics for audio circuits.
• Ripple & Leakage: Low‑frequency ripple current rated at 2.9 A (120 Hz) and a specified leakage current of 1010 µA, both useful for power supply smoothing and decoupling design calculations.
• Endurance & Temperature Range: Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, allowing use in a range of commercial and professional audio environments.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, snap‑in can (φ25 × 40L, approximately L: 4 × D: 2.5 cm) supplied in tray packing for robust mechanical mounting in through‑hole audio assemblies.
• Regulatory Status: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Amplifiers: Used for power supply smoothing and bulk energy storage to support stable amplifier operation in audiophile and professional designs.
• Audio Signal Conditioning: Employed in coupling/decoupling networks and supply rails where low loss and controlled tanδ at audio frequencies matter.
• HD Audio Equipment: Integrated into high‑fidelity consumer and studio gear where component selection targets sonic performance and reliability.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused engineering: Part of Nichicon’s LKG series specifically developed for high‑fidelity audio, aligning component behavior with sound quality goals.
• Measured loss parameter: Specified tanδ (0.22 at 120 Hz, 20°C) provides designers with a defined dissipation characteristic for accurate audio circuit modeling.
• High ripple capability: 2.9 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports demanding smoothing requirements in audio power supplies.
• Wide operating temperature range: −40°C to +85°C operation and 1000 h endurance at 85°C give predictable life and performance in commercial and professional installations.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in can format offers reliable mechanical retention for through‑hole PCB assemblies in equipment chassis.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements for regulatory compliance in many markets.
