LKG1J222MESAAK

The LKG1J222MESAAK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, specified at 2200 µF and 63 V with ±20% tolerance. It is part of the audio‑focused LKG family and is designed for high‑grade audio equipment where fidelity and tonal quality are prioritized.

This TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) grade component features a low‑profile design and a new development electrolyte optimized for tone quality, and it is RoHS compliant for regulated applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2200 µF nominal capacitance rated at 63 V, with a tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio‑Focused Grade — TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) designation: low‑profile, high‑tone quality grade using Nichicon’s new development electrolyte targeted at high‑grade audio equipment.
• Low Loss — Specified tan δ of 0.3 (measurement conditions provided in series datasheet), supporting applications where low dissipation is important for audio performance.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can, snap‑in terminal package for secure board mounting in power and audio chassis assemblies.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with endurance rated at 1000 hours at 85 °C per the series specification.
• Ripple Handling — Ripple current rating of 2.15 A at 120 Hz (part‑specific value provided).
• Polarized — Polarized electrolytic capacitor suitable for DC circuit applications where polarity is observed.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑End Audio Equipment — Intended for use in high‑grade audio designs where component selection prioritizes tonal fidelity.
• HD Audio Systems — Suited to systems that require components specified for high tone quality and stable performance across typical audio operating temperatures.
• Professional Audio Electronics — Appropriate for audio power supplies and circuits within professional and consumer audio products that demand verified ripple and endurance characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑centric design: TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) grade and a purpose‑developed electrolyte target improved tonal characteristics for audio applications.
• Compact low‑profile form: Short can length and snap‑in mounting provide a space‑efficient solution for chassis and PCB layouts.
• Documented endurance: 1000 hours at 85 °C rated life simplifies reliability planning for mid‑term product lifecycles.
• Clear electrical parameters: 2200 µF / 63 V rating, 2.15 A ripple at 120 Hz and specified tan δ allow straightforward design tradeoffs for audio power stages.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports deployment in regulated markets.
