LKG1K102MESABK

The LKG1K102MESABK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in, radial can package, specified at 1000 µF and 80 V with polarized terminals. It is part of Nichicon’s LKG series, which is described for audio use and designed with priorities for high‑fidelity sound quality.

Engineered for audio equipment and related high‑tone applications, this part combines a 1 mF capacitance, 80 V rating, and a 2.15 A ripple current specification (120 Hz) with a 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C.

Key Features

• Core electrical — 1 mF (1000 µF) capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling in higher‑voltage audio circuits.
• Audio‑grade design — Part of the LKG series explicitly specified “For Audio Use,” intended to prioritize high‑fidelity sound performance in audio equipment.
• Low loss and leakage — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.25 and listed leakage current of 840 µA to support stable performance and signal integrity.
• Ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 2.15 A at 120 Hz for smoothing and handling AC ripple in power stages.
• Reliability and lifetime — Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, with endurance limits defined in the series specification.
• Mounting and package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (φ25 × 30L), tray packing and polarized configuration for secure board assembly in power and audio modules.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant as declared in the product data.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Specified for use in high‑grade audio systems where the LKG series emphasizes high‑fidelity sound quality.
• HD audio systems — Suited to HD audio equipment that benefits from the series’ focus on tone quality and sound performance.
• Audio power supply and smoothing — 1000 µF capacitance, 80 V rating and 2.15 A ripple capacity provide bulk energy storage and smoothing for audio power stages and supply rails.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused engineering: The LKG series is described specifically “For Audio Use,” aligning component selection with high‑fidelity design objectives.
• High voltage capability: 80 V rating provides headroom for higher‑voltage audio power supplies and circuits.
