LKG1K182MESCCK

The LKG1K182MESCCK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series designed specifically for audio applications. It delivers 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance at an 80 V rating with a ±20% tolerance and polarized construction for supply filtering and energy storage in audio circuitry.

This part is a TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade LKG variant (suffix "CK") intended for high‑fidelity audio use; key performance attributes include low loss (tan δ = 0.2), 3.5 A ripple current capability at 120 Hz, RoHS compliance, and a specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C. Status: End of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance at an 80 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Audio‑Grade LKG Series – TYPE‑III (Super Through) Part suffix "CK" identifies the TYPE‑III Super Through grade in the LKG family, a configuration described for highest tone quality and use of gold‑plated terminals in the series documentation.
• Low Loss Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) = 0.2 supports low dissipation in audio signal power paths.
• High Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current 3.5 A at 120 Hz for handling dynamic loads in amplifier power supplies.
• Leakage Current Leakage current specified at 1130 µA.
• Operating Range & Endurance Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with a lifetime specification of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Mounting & Package Snap‑in radial can package (polarized) sized φ35 × 35L (3.5 × 3.5 cm) with tray packing for board retention and mechanical stability.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant per the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in power supplies where low loss and stable performance support audio fidelity.
• HD audio equipment — Designed for use in high‑grade and HD audio systems where tonal quality is prioritized.
• Studio and consumer audio electronics — Energy storage and ripple handling for power stages in studio racks and high‑end consumer components.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused grading: The TYPE‑III (Super Through) designation (CK) ties this part to Nichicon's higher tonal quality LKG variants described for audio use.
• High energy density: 1.8 mF at 80 V provides substantial bulk capacitance in a single radial, snap‑in can for simplified power supply design.
• Low dissipation: tan δ = 0.2 helps minimize power loss and heat generation in audio power paths.
• Robust ripple handling: 3.5 A ripple current rating (120 Hz) supports dynamic amplifier loads and reduces reservoir stress.
• Wide temperature and proven endurance: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C for predictable lifetime in specified conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements for commercial audio products.
