LKG1V152MESZCK

The LKG1V152MESZCK is an aluminum electrolytic snap-in capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, specified for audio equipment. It is a polar, snap-in can designed to support high-fidelity audio applications with a 1,500 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating.

Built for audio-focused designs, this part combines a compact radial snap-in package with audio-grade construction and defined electrical performance — including low leakage, controlled loss tangent, and rated endurance at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1,500 µF capacitance at 35 V with ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage for audio circuits and power filtering.
• Low Loss and Leakage — Specified tan δ of 0.22 and leakage current listed at 680 µA, supporting stable performance in audio signal power paths.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 1.55 A at 120 Hz to support power smoothing and decoupling in audio power supplies.
• Audio-Grade Construction (TYPE-III / CK) — Part number ending “CK” corresponds to the TYPE-III grade described in the LKG series, noted for high tone quality and gold-plated terminal construction in the series documentation.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can package for secure board mounting; nominal size approximately 22 mm diameter × 35 mm length to fit compact audio chassis layouts.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1,000 hours at 85°C.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as indicated in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Professional Audio Amplifiers — Bulk smoothing and reservoir capacitance to support clean power delivery and stable low-frequency response in amplifier stages.
• High-Fidelity Consumer Audio Equipment — Energy storage and decoupling where controlled loss tangent and low leakage contribute to consistent sonic performance.
• AV and Studio Electronics — Power supply filtering in mixers, preamplifiers, and other equipment where sustained ripple handling and endurance at elevated temperature are required.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused grading: The CK type designation ties this part to the LKG series’ high-tone-quality grade, aligning component selection with audible performance priorities.
• Defined electrical metrics: Published tan δ, leakage, and ripple current values let designers predict behavior in power and audio circuits without guesswork.
• Compact snap-in package: Radial snap-in construction provides robust board retention and a small footprint for space-constrained audio assemblies.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated 1,000 hours at 85°C, enabling reliable operation in equipment that experiences elevated internal temperatures.
• RoHS compliance: Sold as a compliant component for designs requiring RoHS-conforming parts.
