LKG1K102MESYBK

The LKG1K102MESYBK is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for audio equipment applications. It combines a 1000 µF capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage in a compact φ20 × 45 mm can to support power filtering and energy storage in high‑fidelity audio designs.

Designed for board-level snap-in mounting and tray packing, this part offers defined endurance and electrical characteristics useful for engineers specifying power reservoir and smoothing components in audio signal chains and power supplies.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance  1000 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of -20% to +20% and a rated voltage of 80 V, suitable for higher-voltage audio power rails.
• Low-Frequency Ripple Capability  Low frequency ripple current of 2.2 A at 120 Hz to handle ripple stresses in power supply and reservoir applications.
• Leakage and Dissipation  Specified leakage current of 840 µA and tan δ (loss tangent) of 0.25 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable loss and leakage behavior for circuit design.
• Temperature and Endurance  Operating range of -40°C to +85°C and rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C with specified post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage.
• Package & Mounting  Radial, can-style snap-in package (φ20 × 45 mm) designed for secure mechanical mounting and board-level installation; supplied in tray packing for handling efficiency.
• Audio-Focused Series  Part of the LKG series, which is specified for use in audio equipment and developed with priority on sound quality in high‑grade audio designs.
• RoHS Compliant  Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• High-Fidelity Audio Power Supplies  Acts as a reservoir capacitor and smoothing element on amplifier and preamplifier rails where 80 V rating and 1000 µF capacitance are required.
• Audio Amplifier Filter Stages  Used in filter networks and decoupling stages to stabilize rails and reduce low-frequency ripple that can affect audio performance.
• High-Voltage Audio Subsystems  Suitable for circuitry in high-grade audio equipment that requires higher working voltage and defined endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High Working Voltage:  80 V rating supports designs with higher audio power-rail voltages without needing series stacks.
• Substantial Capacitance in a Compact Can:  1000 µF in a φ20 × 45 mm package provides energy storage and smoothing while conserving PCB space.
• Robust Ripple Handling:  2.2 A ripple current (120 Hz) helps minimize ripple-induced heating and performance drift in power-supply applications.
• Predictable Loss and Leakage:  tan δ of 0.25 and a specified leakage current of 840 µA give clear electrical parameters for design margining and thermal calculations.
• Designed for Audio Use:  Part of Nichicon’s LKG family, developed with attention to sound quality and application in high‑grade audio equipment.
• Tray Packing for Production:  Supplied in tray packing to support board‑level assembly and inventory handling.
