LKG1K152MESCCK

The LKG1K152MESCCK is a Nichicon LKG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in, radial can package designed for audio equipment. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at an 80 V rating and is optimized for use where high-fidelity audio performance and robust power filtering are required.

Built to the LKG series' audio-focused specifications, this TYPE-III (CK) grade unit features construction choices intended to support high tone quality and reliable operation across −40°C to +85°C with a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C.

Key Features

• Audio-grade design (LKG series, TYPE-III): Specified for high-grade audio equipment and identified by the CK grade, which in the LKG series denotes the TYPE-III "Super Through" grade focused on tone quality.
• Capacitance and voltage: 1500 µF nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage for higher-voltage rail support in audio power systems.
• Ripple handling: Rated ripple current 3.25 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and decoupling duties in audio power supplies.
• Thermal and lifetime rating: Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Leakage current: Initial leakage characteristic specified (1030 µA) consistent with electrolytic performance expectations.
• Polarized, snap-in package: Radial can with snap-in terminals for secure chassis or power-supply mounting and straightforward installation in high-current audio circuits.
• Compact mechanical size: Case diameter φ35 mm and length 30 mm, providing a space-efficient solution for power filtering in audio modules.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements as indicated in product data.

Typical Applications

• High-fidelity audio amplifiers: Bulk filtering and power stabilization on amplifier supply rails to support consistent audio performance.
• Studio and professional audio equipment: Power supply smoothing and decoupling in mixers, preamps, and signal chain electronics where tone quality is important.
• High-voltage audio power modules: Use where an 80 V rated electrolytic is required for rail decoupling and energy storage in audio designs.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused grading (TYPE-III CK): Part of the LKG series' highest tone-quality grade, aligning capacitor selection with audio performance objectives.
• High voltage capability: 80 V rating enables use on elevated supply rails, reducing the need for parallel arrays or higher part counts.
• Robust ripple capacity: 3.25 A ripple rating at 120 Hz supports demanding smoothing duties in power supplies for audio systems.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Snap-in terminal configuration provides reliable mechanical retention for chassis-mounted and PCB-adjacent power components.
• Designed endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C endurance rating gives predictable life characteristics for product development and reliability planning.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial audio products.
