LKG1J472MESCAK

The LKG1J472MESCAK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and high‑fidelity applications. It delivers 4700 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating in a radial, can‑style snap‑in package suitable for secure PCB mounting.

Designed with audio performance and reliability in mind, this Nichicon LKG series part offers low loss (tan δ 0.3), industry‑grade ripple handling, and a specified 1000‑hour lifetime at 85°C for stable operation in demanding audio power supply circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage in audio power supplies and filter networks.
• Audio‑Focused Performance — Low tangent of loss angle (tan δ = 0.3) and construction targeted for audio use to support low‑loss filtering and stable frequency response in high‑fidelity systems.
• High Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current 3.2 A at 120 Hz to handle dynamic supply currents typical of audio amplifier rails.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C with performance limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current to support long‑term operation.
• Robust Mechanical Package — Radial, can‑style snap‑in terminal construction for secure mounting in power modules and audio chassis assemblies.
• Operating Range & Leakage — Polarized design with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C and a specified leakage current (measured values provided in product data).
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Bulk smoothing and supply decoupling to maintain clean, stable rails for power amplifier stages.
• Studio and Pro Audio Equipment — Power supply filtering in mixers, preamps, and signal processors where audio performance matters.
• Consumer Audio Systems — Energy storage and ripple suppression in integrated amplifiers and active speaker power sections.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Energy Storage: 4700 µF at 63 V provides significant reservoir capacity for audio power rails, enabling better headroom and transient response.
• Low Loss Characteristics: Specified tan δ of 0.3 supports reduced dissipation and stable filtering behavior in audio signal paths.
• High Ripple Capability: 3.2 A ripple rating at 120 Hz suits power supply duties with sizeable AC ripple and dynamic loads.
• Engineered for Audio: Part of Nichicon’s LKG series designed for audio use, emphasizing sound‑quality‑oriented construction and performance stability.
• Durability Under Load: 1000‑hour endurance at 85°C gives designers predictable aging and specification retention for equipment life planning.
