LKG1V123MESAAK

The LKG1V123MESAAK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for audio applications. It delivers 12,000 µF capacitance at a 35 V rated voltage in a radial, can‑style snap‑in package designed for high‑fidelity audio equipment.

This capacitor combines high ripple‑current capability, controlled loss (tan δ), long‑life endurance at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance—features targeted at designers of high‑grade and HD audio systems who require reliable power smoothing and energy storage.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 12,000 µF nominal capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power stages.
• Audio‑Focused Grade — TYPE‑I (AK) designation and series design notes indicate emphasis on high tone quality for use in high‑grade audio equipment.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap‑in terminals for secure chassis or board mounting in power supply and amplifier assemblies.
• Ripple Current — 3.45 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz to support demanding AC ripple conditions in audio power supplies.
• Leakage & Loss — Specified leakage current of 1,940 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.3, offering predictable electrical behavior for audio circuits.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operates from −40 °C to +85 °C with a rated endurance of 1,000 hours at 85 °C for reliable thermal performance in sustained conditions.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant for use in regionally restricted material applications.

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade Audio Amplifiers — Bulk supply decoupling and smoothing to maintain stable rails and reduce ripple in high‑fidelity amplifier power stages.
• Professional and Consumer HD Audio Systems — Energy storage and transient support for systems where consistent tonal quality and power handling are important.
• Audio Power Supplies — Filtering and ripple absorption in linear and switching power supplies serving audio front ends and amplification modules.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑oriented design: TYPE‑I (AK) grade and series design emphasize high tone quality, supporting sound‑focused system designs.
