LKG1K182MESYAK

The LKG1K182MESYAK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for audio applications. This TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) snap‑in unit provides 1.8 mF (1800 µF) capacitance at an 80 V rating and is optimized for high‑grade and HD audio equipment where electrical performance and sound quality are priorities.

Key electrical and mechanical characteristics include a -40 °C to +85 °C operating range, 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C, tray packing for assembly, and a compact φ20 × 45 mm can size. Note: this part is currently marked End Of Life.

Key Features

• Audio‑focused design — Part of the LKG series developed specifically for high‑grade audio equipment and HD audio applications, prioritizing tone quality.
• Rated capacitance & tolerance — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) with a tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C, providing defined energy storage for audio circuits.
• High working voltage — 80 V rated voltage for higher‑voltage audio power sections.
• Low‑frequency ripple handling — Ripple current rated at 2.45 A (120 Hz), suitable for low‑frequency power conditioning in audio power stages.
• Leakage and loss characteristics — Specified leakage current of 1130 µA and tan δ of 0.25 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), enabling predictable behavior in sensitive circuits.
• Thermal & endurance spec — Operates from -40 °C to +85 °C with a 1000‑hour endurance rating at 85 °C for reliability under elevated temperature stress.
• Package & mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ20 × 45 mm) provided in tray packing to support straightforward board assembly and robust mechanical retention.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as indicated in product data.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio systems — Designed for use in high‑grade and HD audio equipment where tonal fidelity and stable power delivery matter.
• Audio power modules — Suitable for power sections that require an 80 V rating and low‑frequency ripple handling (2.45 A at 120 Hz).
• Professional and studio gear — Snap‑in package and tray packing ease mechanical assembly for rack‑mount and professional audio equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑centric grade (TYPE‑I, Gold Tune): Specifically identified as a Gold Tune grade in the LKG family, aligning the capacitor’s design with high‑tone quality requirements.
• Robust ripple capacity: 2.45 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports demanding low‑frequency power handling in audio circuits.
• High voltage capability: 80 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage audio power rails and modules.
• Predictable electrical parameters: Specified tan δ (0.25 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and quantified leakage current (1130 µA) allow precise design margins for engineers.
• Endurance at elevated temperature: 1000 hours at 85 °C endurance rating provides a defined reliability baseline for thermal stress conditions.
• Factory packing for assembly: Tray packing and snap‑in mounting facilitate efficient handling and secure mechanical installation in production environments.
