LKG1V103MESBAK

The LKG1V103MESBAK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for audio equipment. It delivers high capacitance in a compact radial snap‑in can for power filtering and smoothing in audio power supplies and related circuits. Key engineering highlights include a 10,000 µF capacitance at 35 V, a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, and a 1,000‑hour endurance rating at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 10,000 µF nominal capacitance rated at 35 V for bulk energy storage and filtering.
• Audio‑Grade Series — Part of the LKG series designed specifically for audio equipment and high‑fidelity applications.
• Tolerance & Loss — Capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% and a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• Ripple Handling — Low frequency ripple current: 3.0 A at 120 Hz for robust power rail smoothing under AC ripple conditions.
• Leakage — Specified leakage current of 1,770 µA, measured under the product’s stated conditions.
• Reliability & Life — Endurance specified as 1,000 hours at 85 °C with ratings restored to 20 °C; designed to meet LKG series endurance characteristics.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package (φ30 × 35 mm length) for secure PCB mounting and easy assembly; supplied in tray packing.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Status — Product status: End Of Life.

Typical Applications

• Audio power supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing on amplifier and preamplifier supply rails where high capacitance is required.
• Professional audio equipment — Power decoupling and energy storage in mixing consoles, studio gear, and other audio hardware.
• Audio crossover and filtering — Low‑frequency energy storage for passive networks and power conditioning in speaker systems.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance: 10,000 µF provides substantial energy reserve for low‑frequency filtering and transient support.
• Designed for audio fidelity: LKG series design focus for audio equipment supports sound‑quality‑oriented power filtering decisions.
• Robust ripple capability: 3.0 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz helps manage AC ripple in audio power rails without excessive heating.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ30 × 35 mm radial snap‑in can balances high capacitance with space‑efficient PCB mounting.
• Endurance at elevated temperature: 1,000 hours at 85 °C provides a defined reliability baseline for thermal stress expectations.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status supports use in assemblies requiring restricted‑substance compliance.
