LKG1J182MESYBK

The LKG1J182MESYBK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, optimized for high‑grade audio equipment. It delivers 1.8 mF (1800 µF) of capacitance at a 63 V rating in a compact radial can snap‑in package.

This part is designed for audio use where tone quality and stability are priorities. Note: this specific part is listed as end‑of‑life / discontinued.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated 1.8 mF (1800 µF) at 63 V with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio‑Focused Design — Part of the LKG series developed for high‑grade audio equipment, emphasizing high fidelity and tone quality.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can snap‑in package with physical dimensions L: 4.5 cm × D: 2.0 cm (approx. 45 mm × 20 mm), suitable for secure chassis mounting.
• Electrical Characteristics — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 and a rated ripple current of 2.35 A at 120 Hz; leakage current limit specified as ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C (per datasheet).
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C with endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C (capacitance change within ±20% and tan δ and leakage current within datasheet limits after test).
• Compliance & Identification — RoHS compliant; markings printed in gold on a black sleeve as specified for the series.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Used in audio equipment designs where consistent capacitance and tone quality are important.
• Premium consumer audio systems — Suited to high‑grade loudspeaker crossovers and component systems that specify audio‑focused capacitors.
• Studio and broadcast equipment — Applicable where designers prioritize sound reproduction characteristics and stable performance over the rated temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑oriented specification — Part of the LKG family developed specifically for audio use, reflecting design priorities around tone quality.
• Compact snap‑in form factor — Radial snap‑in can provides secure mechanical mounting for chassis installations while keeping a small footprint (L: 4.5 cm × D: 2.0 cm).
• Documented endurance — Endurance defined as 1000 hours at 85°C with defined acceptance criteria for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage current, enabling predictable long‑term behavior within those limits.
• Measured ripple and loss parameters — Ripple current rating at 120 Hz (2.35 A) and a specified tan δ (0.3) allow designers to evaluate suitability against system ripple and dissipation needs.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted‑substance conformity.

Why Choose LKG1J182MESYBK?
