LKG1K152MESACK

The LKG1K152MESACK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LKG series, configured with a snap‑in terminal and radial can package. It is designed for audio equipment and prioritizes high‑fidelity sound characteristics while providing power smoothing and filtering performance for audio circuits.

Key electrical and mechanical characteristics include 1500 μF capacitance at 80 V rated voltage, a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 3.3 A (120 Hz), a specified tan δ of 0.2 (20°C, 120 Hz), and an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C. This specific part is End Of Life (discontinued) and is supplied in tray packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1500 μF nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and a tolerance of ±20% provides bulk energy storage for audio power stages and supply filtering.
• Low‑frequency ripple capability: Rated ripple current of 3.3 A at 120 Hz supports smoothing in power supplies for amplifiers and related audio circuits.
• Loss characteristics: Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.2 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for predictable AC loss behavior in audio signal environments.
• Leakage current: Measured leakage current of 1030 μA after application conditions, useful for budgeting standby and quiescent currents.
• Reliability & lifetime: Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C, with operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C for elevated‑temperature performance verification.
• Package & mounting: Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction (φ25 × 50 L, approximately 25 mm diameter × 50 mm length) for secure board mounting and convenient assembly; supplied in tray packing.
• Environmental compliance: RoHS compliant as stated in the series datasheet.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio amplifiers: Bulk smoothing and filtering in power supplies for high‑fidelity amplifier stages where stable DC supply and ripple handling are required.
• Audio equipment power rails: Decoupling and energy storage on power rails of audio preamplifiers, DAC/ADC power domains, and related circuitry in audio systems.
• Audio component modules: Integration into modular audio subsystems that require snap‑in mounting and robust capacitance at elevated voltages and temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused design: Part of Nichicon’s LKG series, which is specified for audio use and designed with high‑fidelity sound quality priorities in mind.
• High voltage margin: 80 V rated voltage enables use in higher‑voltage audio power supply topologies compared with lower‑voltage electrolytics.
• Strong ripple handling: 3.3 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports effective filtering under AC ripple stress common in audio power supplies.
• Defined endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C gives a clear reliability expectation for elevated‑temperature service conditions.
• Practical mechanical format: Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 50 L) simplifies secure chassis or PCB mounting and mechanical handling during assembly.
• Regulatory compliance: Series‑level RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements in many markets.
