LKG1V103MESBBK

The LKG1V103MESBBK is a Nichicon LKG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in (radial, can) package tailored for audio equipment. It delivers 10,000 µF of bulk capacitance at a 35 V rated voltage and is optimized for applications that require large energy storage and low‑frequency ripple handling in audio power circuits.

Designed for use in high‑grade audio equipment, the LKG series emphasizes sound‑quality considerations while providing robust electrical performance across a wide operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 10,000 µF nominal capacitance for bulk energy storage and power‑supply smoothing in audio designs.
• 35 V Rated Voltage — Sized for mid‑voltage audio power rails and related applications.
• Low‑Frequency Ripple Handling — 3.8 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz for effective suppression of low‑frequency power supply ripple.
• Dielectric Loss (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.3 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, enabling designers to assess dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1770 µA after voltage application, useful for bias and standby current budgeting.
• Endurance — Rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C under applied rated voltage; capacitance change, dissipation, and leakage limits defined by the series endurance specification.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40 °C to +85 °C to cover typical ambient conditions for audio electronics.
• Snap‑In Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package (φ30 × 50 mm) for secure board or chassis installation and straightforward assembly.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements as stated in the series documentation.
• Packaging and Status — Supplied in tray packing; current product status: End Of Life.

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade Audio Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage for amplifier rails and audio power stages where large capacitance and ripple handling are required.
• Audio Amplifiers — Decoupling and reservoir functions in power sections to support fidelity and transient response.
• Professional Audio Equipment — Use in mixers, studio gear, and similar equipment that specify large electrolytic capacitors designed for audio characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Bulk Storage: 10,000 µF capacitance provides significant energy reserve for power supply stabilization and transient current delivery.
• Engineered for Audio: Part of the LKG series, which is specified for audio use and designed with attention to sound‑quality priorities.
• Robust Ripple Capability: 3.8 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports low‑frequency ripple suppression in power rails common to audio systems.
• Temperature Resilience: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range and 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C help ensure predictable performance across typical environments.
• Installation Convenience: Snap‑in radial can package (φ30 × 50 mm) simplifies mounting and mechanical retention in rack or chassis assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs that require restricted‑substance conformance.
