Key electrical and physical characteristics include 1.8 mF (1800 µF) capacitance, 63 V rated voltage, polarized construction, and a compact radial snap‑in can package with approximately φ22 × 40 mm dimensions. The device is RoHS compliant and specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C.

Key Features

• Audio‑Focused Grade (TYPE‑II)  Center grade in the LKG series with electrode foil tuned for high‑tone quality and multiple use in audio equipment.
• Capacitance and Voltage  1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low Loss Characteristic  Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 (measurement context: 120 Hz at 20 °C as per series data).
• Ripple Handling  Specified low‑frequency ripple current of 2.35 A at 120 Hz (per product specifications).
• Polarized Snap‑In Package  Radial, snap‑in can package suitable for secure chassis or board mounting where snap‑in terminals are required. Physical size: approximately 22 mm diameter × 40 mm length.
• Operating Range and Endurance  Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Regulatory Compliance  RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑end Audio Amplifiers  Provides bulk energy storage and smoothing in power supplies where high‑fidelity tone quality is required.
• Studio and Pro Audio Equipment  Used in audio electronics that demand stable performance and tonal clarity across the specified temperature range.
• Consumer HD Audio Systems  Suitable for HD audio components where the LKG series’ sound quality emphasis supports improved high‑tone reproduction.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑optimized electrode design  TYPE‑II grade construction targets high‑tone quality, aligning component behavior with HD audio performance needs.
