LKG1K102MESZBK

The LKG1K102MESZBK is an aluminum electrolytic snap‑in capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified at 1000 µF and 80 V. Engineered for audio applications, the LKG series is designed with priorities toward high‑fidelity sound quality and reliability in professional and consumer audio equipment.

This snap‑in, radial can package (φ22 × 35 mm) provides high ripple handling and stable performance across a −40 °C to +85 °C operating range, with a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage – 1000 µF nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for higher‑voltage audio power applications.
• Audio‑oriented Design – Part of the LKG series developed for high‑grade audio equipment, with emphasis on fidelity and sound quality.
• Snap‑in Radial Package – Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ22 × 35 mm / L: 3.5 cm × D: 2.2 cm) for secure PCB mounting and robust mechanical retention.
• Electrical Performance – Loss tangent (tan δ) of 0.25 and low‑frequency ripple current rating of 2.2 A at 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 840 µA.
• Operating Range & Endurance – Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Polarized Construction – Polarized electrolytic capacitor designed for DC power rails and smoothing in audio circuits.
• RoHS Compliant – Compliant with RoHS directive as indicated for the LKG series.
• Identification – Sleeve marking printed in gold color on a black sleeve for easy identification.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity Amplifiers – Bulk smoothing and power reservoir duties on ± and single‑ended supply rails to support stable audio output.
• Professional Audio Equipment – Power supply filtering and decoupling in mixers, preamps, and studio electronics where sound fidelity is prioritized.
• Consumer Hi‑Fi Systems – Energy storage and ripple suppression in home audio amplifiers and receivers to maintain consistent performance under varying load.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 80 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage audio power supply designs without parallel capacitor arrangements.
• Robust ripple handling: 2.2 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports demanding power smoothing requirements in audio power stages.
• Designed for audio fidelity: LKG series engineering emphasizes sound quality, making this part suitable where audio performance matters.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ22 × 35 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies PCB mounting while delivering substantial capacitance in a compact footprint.
• Predictable endurance: 1000 hours at 85 °C provides a clear reliability baseline for thermal and lifecycle planning.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted‑substance adherence.
