LKG1J562MESCAK

The LKG1J562MESCAK is a nickel‑canned, snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for high‑fidelity audio equipment. It provides bulk energy storage and smoothing in audio power supplies and other systems where low noise and reliable DC filtering are required.

As a snap‑in terminal, radial can package with a φ35 × 35L profile (3.5 × 3.5 cm), this 5600 µF, 63 V polarized capacitor balances high capacitance with serviceable ripple handling and defined endurance for demanding audio applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5600 µF rated capacitance with a 63 V rating and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, suitable for bulk filtering and reservoir duties in audio power supplies.
• Snap‑In Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can snap‑in package (φ35 × 35L / 3.5 × 3.5 cm) for secure board mounting and mechanical stability in power sections.
• Low‑Frequency Ripple Handling — Rated low frequency ripple current of 3.4 A (at 120 Hz), providing defined AC load capability for power supply decoupling in audio systems.
• Dielectric Loss (tan δ) — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.3 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable dissipation characteristics for audio circuitry.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1780 µA, measured after rated voltage application conditions, for predictable standby and quiescent performance.
• Operating Temperature & Endurance — Rated for −40°C to +85°C with endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage; capacitance change remains within ±20% after endurance testing per datasheet conditions.
• Low‑Temperature Stability — Impedance ratios per datasheet: Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 4 and Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 12 (measurement frequency: 120 Hz), providing guidance for expected performance in cold environments.
• Polarized Design — Polarized capacitor construction for DC bus and reservoir applications common in audio power stages.
• RoHS Compliant & Tray Packed — Conforms to RoHS directive and supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and reservoir capacitance for amplifier and preamplifier power rails to support stable DC under dynamic audio loads.
• Audio System Filtering — Decoupling and low‑frequency filtering in audio equipment where controlled loss (tan δ) and defined ripple handling are important.
• Studio and Consumer Audio Electronics — Power supply energy storage in high‑grade audio components that prioritize sound quality and consistent electrical performance.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Energy Storage: 5.6 mF at 63 V provides significant capacitance for smoothing and transient support in audio power rails.
• Defined Ripple Capability: 3.4 A low‑frequency ripple rating at 120 Hz gives a clear specification for AC stress handling in power supply designs.
• Measurable Dissipation Characteristics: tan δ = 0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz enables predictable heat and loss planning in thermal budgets.
• Wide Operating Range: −40°C to +85°C operation and validated 1000 h endurance at 85°C provide a known baseline for reliability over time.
• Board‑Ready Snap‑In Format: Radial snap‑in terminals and tray packing simplify mechanical retention and assembly in power modules and chassis‑mounted audio equipment.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted‑substance conformance.
