LKG1J682MESCAK

The LKG1J682MESCAK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for audio applications and high‑fidelity equipment. It provides 6800 µF nominal capacitance at a 63 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can designed for robust power filtering and energy storage in audio power rails.

Key electrical and reliability characteristics include a rated voltage of 63 V, low‑frequency ripple handling, a wide operating temperature range, and a 1000‑hour endurance at 85°C—features that address power conditioning needs in professional and consumer audio systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6800 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, and a rated voltage of 63 V for mid‑to‑high voltage audio power rails.
• Audio‑Focused Grade (TYPE‑I, Gold Tune) — Part of the LKG series designed for high‑grade audio equipment and high fidelity sound quality, with the TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) grade designation in the series numbering.
• Ripple and Leakage — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 3.75 A at 120 Hz and a specified leakage current of 1960 µA, suitable for smoothing and reservoir duties in amplifier power supplies.
• Loss‑Angle (tan δ) — tan δ specified at 0.3 under measurement conditions of 20°C and 120 Hz, providing a defined dissipation characteristic for design considerations.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C; after the endurance test the capacitor meets specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ increase, and leakage current per the series specification.
• Environmental & Mounting — Polarized snap‑in radial can package (φ35 × 40 mm), RoHS compliant, supplied in tray packing for board‑level assembly.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +85°C, with impedance stability characteristics referenced in the series datasheet for low‑temperature performance.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity amplifiers — Energy reservoir and power supply smoothing to support stable mains and output stages in audio amplifiers.
• Professional audio equipment — Bulk storage and decoupling in studio and rackmount systems where audio quality and stable power delivery are important.
• Audio power supplies — Filtering and ripple reduction for preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and other analog audio circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused design — Part of the LKG series explicitly developed for high‑grade audio equipment, helping designers prioritize sound quality in power system choices.
• High capacitance at 63 V — 6800 µF nominal value enables substantial energy storage in a single component for mid‑voltage audio rails.
• Robust ripple handling — 3.75 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports smoothing duties in amplifier power supplies.
• Traceable endurance data — 1000‑hour life at 85°C with specified post‑test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current to inform reliability planning.
• Board‑friendly snap‑in package — Radial, snap‑in can (φ35 × 40 mm) supplied in tray packing for consistent assembly and mechanical stability on high‑current boards.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant for environmental conformity in contemporary product designs.
