LKG1J182MESZAK

The LKG1J182MESZAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, tailored for audio applications. This TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) snap‑in design prioritizes high‑fidelity sound characteristics while providing robust power filtering for audio systems.

With a rated capacitance of 1.8 mF at 63 V, polarized construction, and a compact φ22 × 30 mm can, the part is intended for high‑grade audio equipment that requires stable performance across a wide temperature range and defined endurance.

Key Features

• Audio‑grade design (TYPE‑I / Gold Tune): Engineered for high‑tone quality and high‑fidelity audio applications as specified in the LKG series documentation.
• Capacitance & voltage: 1.8 mF (1800 µF) rated at 63 V with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C), suitable for power supply smoothing and decoupling in audio circuits.
• Snap‑in radial can package: Snap‑in terminal mounting (radial, can – snap‑in) for secure mechanical retention and straightforward assembly into audio power assemblies.
• Loss characteristic (tan δ): tan δ = 0.3 (measurement frequency 120 Hz, 20°C per datasheet), reflecting the damping/loss profile relevant to audio performance.
• Ripple current capability: Defined ripple specifications include 2 A at 120 Hz (low‑frequency rating); the product description also lists 2.8 Arms.
• Operating range & endurance: Rated for −40°C to +85°C with an endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C when operated at rated voltage, as specified in the series endurance criteria.
• Polarized construction: Designed as a polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC power rails in audio equipment.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment: Used for power supply smoothing and decoupling where prioritizing high‑fidelity sound quality is required.
• HD audio systems: Suited to HD audio equipment designs that demand audio‑focused component selection as indicated in the LKG series documentation.
• Audio amplifier power rails: Applied on DC power rails in amplifier and preamplifier modules to support stable supply filtering and low loss at audio frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑centric tuning: TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) grade is specified for higher tone quality, aligning component selection with audio performance goals.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ22 × 30 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies mechanical mounting while saving board area compared to larger lug types.
• Clear electrical ratings: 1.8 mF at 63 V with ±20% tolerance and specified tan δ gives designers measurable parameters to model filter behavior.
• Defined ripple and thermal endurance: Ripple current ratings (2 A at 120 Hz; 2.8 Arms noted) combined with 1000 hours at 85°C provide predictable lifetime behavior under audio power conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports deployment in regions requiring restricted substance compliance.
