LKG1K153MKNF

The LKG1K153MKNF is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a lug/lag terminal (solder lug) radial can package, engineered for audio equipment applications. With a nominal capacitance of 15 000 µF and an 80 V rating, it provides high reservoir capacitance and power-handling capability suitable for high-grade audio power supplies and amplification circuits.

Designed with audio performance and reliability in mind, this Nichicon LKG-series part combines large capacitance, a specified low-frequency ripple current rating, controlled dissipation factor, and a wide operating temperature range to meet demanding audio system requirements.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 15 000 µF nominal capacitance provides substantial energy storage for power smoothing and reservoir duties in audio power rails.
• 80 V Rated Voltage: Rated for 80 V working voltage to support higher-voltage audio power supplies and amplifier stages.
• Lag Terminal / Radial Can Package: Lug (solder-lug) mounting with radial can construction for secure mechanical and electrical connections in chassis-mounted audio assemblies.
• Low-Frequency Ripple Capability: Low-frequency ripple current rating of 6.5 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective handling of power-supply ripple in audio applications.
• Controlled Dissipation Factor: Specified tanδ of 0.25 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), supporting predictable loss characteristics for audio-grade designs.
• Leakage and Endurance: Leakage current listed as 3 280 µA and endurance of 1 000 hours at 85°C with retention criteria defined in the datasheet, providing known long-term behavior under rated conditions.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Specified operating range from −40°C to +85°C for reliable performance across typical equipment environments.
• Form Factor: Size φ40 × 100L (40 mm diameter × 100 mm length) and tray packing for straightforward handling and assembly.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in the product specifications.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Power Supplies: Energy reservoir and smoothing in power supplies for amplifiers and audio processors where sustained capacitance and ripple handling are required.
• Audio Amplifier Filter Stages: Bulk filtering and decoupling in amplifier circuits to support stable rail voltages and improved dynamic response.
• Professional Audio Equipment: Use in studio and high-fidelity playback systems where audio-focused capacitor characteristics are specified by designers.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Energy Storage: 15 000 µF capacity reduces voltage sag under load, benefiting transient response in audio systems.
• High Voltage Headroom: 80 V rating allows use in higher-voltage designs without series stacking or additional parts.
• Designed for Audio: LKG-series emphasis on audio quality—combined with the specified dissipation factor—supports predictable tonal behavior in high‑fidelity equipment.
• Robust Ripple Handling: 6.5 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports steady operation under typical mains-frequency smoothing conditions in audio power supplies.
• Known Endurance Characteristics: 1 000 hours at 85°C endurance specification provides a measurable expectation of long-term performance under rated stress.
• Practical Mechanical Form: Lug terminal radial can and tray packing simplify mounting and assembly in chassis-mounted audio designs.
