LKG1J182MESBAK

The LKG1J182MESBAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in, radial can package intended for audio equipment applications. It delivers 1.8 mF (1800 μF) capacitance at a 63 V rating with a polarized design and ±20% tolerance.

Part of Nichicon’s LKG series—developed for high‑grade audio use—this capacitor combines a compact footprint (≈30 × 20 mm) with measured electrical characteristics suitable for power smoothing and reservoir duties in audio circuits. Note: this part is listed as End of Life/Discontinued; request current availability when planning use.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF (1800 μF) rated at 63 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling on higher‑voltage audio rails.
• Audio‑Focused Series — Member of the LKG family, designed for high‑grade audio equipment and prioritizing high‑fidelity sound characteristics as described in the series documentation.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal radial can for board‑level insertion; package dimensions approximately L: 2.0 cm × D: 3.0 cm and a seated height up to 2.0 cm.
• Electrical Performance — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 and a ripple current capability of 2.05 A at 120 Hz, supporting smoothing and ripple reduction in audio power supplies.
• Environmental & Lifetime — Operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity amplifiers — Bulk filtering and reservoir capacitance for amplifier power rails, supporting up to 63 V bias voltages.
• Audio power supplies — Ripple smoothing and decoupling where a compact snap‑in solution with ~2 A ripple capability at 120 Hz is required.
• Preamp and signal chain reservoirs — Local energy storage in compact, board‑mount designs for improved supply stability in audio circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑oriented design: Part of the LKG series developed for high‑grade audio; series documentation emphasizes fidelity‑focused electrolytic construction.
• High voltage headroom: 63 V rating enables use on higher bias rails common in pro audio and power amplifier designs.
• Measured ripple capability: 2.05 A ripple at 120 Hz helps reduce AC ripple on power rails without overspecifying component size.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: Small 30 × 20 mm footprint and snap‑in mounting simplify panel or PCB assembly where space is limited.
• Predictable aging: Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C supports design planning for lifetime and replacement cycles.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction for regulatory conformity in many markets.

Why Choose LKG1J182MESBAK?
