LKG1J332MESZAK

The LKG1J332MESZAK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified for audio equipment and high‑fidelity applications. It provides 3300 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating in a compact snap‑in can tailored for chassis or PCB mounting.

Key electrical characteristics include a low‑frequency ripple current rating and controlled leakage and dissipation factor, combined with a -40°C to 85°C operating range and a 1000‑hour endurance at 85°C for reliable performance in audio power and smoothing circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal with tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Voltage Rating — Rated for 63 V operation, suitable for higher‑voltage audio power rails.
• Audio‑Focused Design — Part of the LKG series developed for high‑grade audio equipment; series material and construction prioritize audio performance.
• Power Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current of 2.8 A (120 Hz) for bulk energy handling and smoothing in power supply sections.
• Electrical Losses — Dissipation factor (tan δ) specified at 0.3 (20°C, 120 Hz), supporting predictable impedance behavior in audio circuits.
• Leakage — Leakage current specified at 1360 µA after stabilization, enabling predictable bias behavior in DC‑coupled circuits.
• Reliability & Endurance — Designed to meet endurance criteria after 1000 hours at 85°C; capacitance change, tan δ and leakage characteristics are specified for end‑of‑life evaluation.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ22 × 45 mm) for secure mechanical mounting; supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Bulk filtering and supply decoupling where stable capacitance and controlled dissipation factor support consistent audio performance.
• Audio Power Supplies — Smoothing and energy storage on higher‑voltage rails up to 63 V with 2.8 A low‑frequency ripple capability.
• Professional Audio Equipment — Use in preamplifiers, mixers and other studio gear where component stability and low loss help maintain signal integrity.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Can — 3300 µF in a φ22 × 45 mm snap‑in package provides significant bulk storage without excessive board or chassis space.
• Designed for Audio — LKG series construction and materials are targeted toward high‑grade audio use, making selection and specification straightforward for audio designers.
• Predictable Ripple Handling — 2.8 A ripple current (120 Hz) rating gives clear guidance for power supply design and thermal considerations.
• Defined Endurance — 1000 hours at 85°C specification allows designers to evaluate long‑term behavior under elevated temperature stress.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets environmental regulatory requirements for lead‑free assemblies.
• Tray Packing — Supplied in tray packing for protection and efficient handling during assembly or evaluation.
