LKG1K682MESCAK

The LKG1K682MESCAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal (radial, can) package, part of Nichicon’s LKG series and specified as TYPE‑I (AK) for high‑grade audio equipment. It provides 6.8 mF (6800 µF) capacitance at an 80 V rated voltage with a φ35 × 50L form factor.

Key electrical characteristics include a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.25 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), a low‑frequency ripple current rating of 4.65 A (120 Hz), leakage current of 2210 µA, and an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 6.8 mF (6800 µF) at 80 V — substantial bulk capacitance for higher‑voltage circuits.
• Audio‑Oriented Grade (TYPE‑I, AK): Designated TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) in the LKG series for use in high‑grade audio equipment.
• Low Dissipation Factor: tanδ = 0.25 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz — specified loss characteristic for the measurement condition.
• Ripple Current Capability: 4.65 A at 120 Hz — supports low‑frequency AC ripple handling as specified.
• Leakage Current: 2210 µA — specified leakage value for the part.
• Endurance & Temperature Range: Rated life 1000 hours at 85°C; operating range −40°C to +85°C.
• Mounting & Packaging: Snap‑in terminal (radial can, snap‑in) with φ35 × 50L dimensions; shipped in tray packing.
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Professional audio equipment: Bulk energy storage and smoothing in power supplies for high‑grade audio systems where the LKG series is specified for audio use.
• Amplifier power supplies: Reservoir and filter capacitor in high‑voltage amplifier power rails consistent with the 80 V rating.
• High‑fidelity electronics: Energy buffering and ripple handling in HD audio circuitry where low tanδ and audio‑grade components are required.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance at elevated voltage: 6800 µF at 80 V delivers significant stored energy for designs that require higher DC voltage capacity.
• Audio‑grade construction: TYPE‑I (AK) designation per the LKG series targets high‑grade audio applications as described in the product family documentation.
• Measured low loss (tanδ): Specified tanδ = 0.25 at 20°C/120 Hz provides a defined dissipation characteristic for audio frequency conditions.
• Defined ripple handling: Rated 4.65 A ripple current at 120 Hz supports specified low‑frequency AC stress levels.
• Endurance specification: 1000 hours at 85°C and an operating range of −40°C to +85°C give a clear expectation of thermal performance and life under rated conditions.
• Secure mounting and handling: Snap‑in radial can for robust PCB attachment and tray packing for systematic handling.
