LKG1K182MESABK

The LKG1K182MESABK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series designed for audio use. It pairs a high 80 V rating with 1.8 mF (1800 µF) capacitance in a radial, snap-in can intended for high‑grade audio equipment where fidelity and robust power handling are important.

This TYPE-II (BK) grade capacitor delivers audio-focused performance parameters—including specified ripple handling, loss tangent, and leakage specs—alongside RoHS compliance and a compact φ25 × 45 mm form factor for chassis-mounted or board-level power filtering applications in audio electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Voltage Rating — Rated at 80 V for higher-voltage audio and power applications.
• Audio Grade (TYPE-II, BK) — Part of the LKG series optimized “For Audio Use,” designed to prioritize high‑fidelity sound quality.
• Ripple and Loss Performance — Rated ripple current 2.85 A at 120 Hz and specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.25, suitable for power smoothing duties in audio power rails.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1130 µA (as provided in the product data).
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can (φ25 × 45 mm, tray packing) for secure chassis or board retention.
• Marking & Compliance — Printed with gold-color lettering on a black sleeve; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Bulk energy storage and power smoothing where audio fidelity is prioritized.
• HD audio systems — Use in systems that require components specified for audio performance characteristics.
• Power filtering for audio electronics — Decoupling and reservoir duties in audio power supplies employing snap‑in mounting.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 80 V rating enables use in higher-voltage audio and power supply designs without series stacking.
• Substantial capacitance in a compact can: 1.8 mF (1800 µF) in a φ25 × 45 mm package provides significant energy storage in a conservative footprint.
• Designed for audio fidelity: TYPE-II (BK) grade from the LKG series is specified for high‑grade audio equipment, focusing on tone quality.
• Robust ripple handling: 2.85 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports demanding power smoothing in audio power rails.
• Temperature and life specification: Rated for −40°C to +85°C with 1000 hours endurance at 85°C for predictable behavior under rated stress.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.
