LKG1K102MESZAK

The LKG1K102MESZAK is a snap‑in, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LKG series, specified at 1000 µF and 80 V. It is engineered for audio applications and for use where compact high‑capacitance, high‑voltage filtering is required.

Key value propositions include a low‑profile snap‑in can for robust board mounting, a measured dissipation factor and low‑frequency ripple capability for power filtering in audio circuits, and endurance tested for 1000 hours at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 1000 µF rated capacitance at 80 V provides bulk energy storage and decoupling for high‑voltage audio power rails.
• Audio‑Oriented LKG Series — Part of Nichicon’s LKG family, designed for high‑grade audio equipment to prioritize sound quality.
• Measured Loss and Conditions — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified as 0.25 measured at 20 °C and 120 Hz (80 V), enabling predictable dissipation characteristics for audio circuits.
• Low‑Frequency Ripple Capability — Rated for 1.85 A ripple current at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and filtering in low‑frequency power stages.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 840 µA, allowing designers to budget standby and quiescent currents accurately.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — Rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C and specified operating range of −40 °C to +85 °C for stable performance across typical audio equipment environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can (φ22 × 25 mm length) for secure chassis or PCB mounting; supplied in tray packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in product data.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing on amplifier rails where 80 V and 1000 µF are required for clean power delivery.
• Audio Amplifier Output Stages — Decoupling and energy buffering to support dynamic audio loads, leveraging the capacitor’s ripple current capability and dissipation specification.
• Professional Audio Equipment — Use in mixers, preamps, and other audio signal chain devices that benefit from components designed for audio performance.

Unique Advantages

• High‑Voltage Capability: 80 V rating supports higher supply rails commonly found in professional audio equipment.
• Compact High Capacitance: 1000 µF in a φ22 × 25 mm snap‑in can enables space‑efficient designs without sacrificing bulk energy storage.
• Audio‑Focused Design: Part of the LKG series developed for high‑grade audio, providing specification alignment for sound quality‑focused designs.
• Predictable Dissipation: Specified tan δ (0.25 at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 80 V) helps engineers predict heating and AC loss in filter networks.
• Robust Ripple Handling: 1.85 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports demanding low‑frequency filtering tasks in power supplies.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 1000 hours at 85 °C endurance rating supports long‑term stability in warm operating environments.
