LKG1V153MESBAK

The LKG1V153MESBAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LKG series, configured with snap‑in terminals in a radial can package. It provides 15,000 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating with a ±20% tolerance and is specified for audio applications.

Designed within the LKG series for audio use, the component emphasizes fidelity‑oriented performance characteristics and reliability across an operating range of ‑40°C to 85°C, with a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance at a 35 V rated voltage, tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio‑focused design — Part of the LKG series developed “for audio use” and described in the series materials as designed to prioritize high‑fidelity sound quality and meet high tone quality needs for HD audio equipment.
• Ripple and leakage — Ripple current rated at 3.8 A (120 Hz); specified initial leakage current value listed in product data and series leakage current requirement noted as not more than 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C.
• Electrical loss — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) included in part data (0.3) and measured at 120 Hz, 20°C per series specifications.
• Thermal and endurance — Operating temperature range −40°C to 85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C as defined for the series.
• Package & mounting — Radial, can-style snap‑in terminal package (φ30 × 45L / approx. 3.0 cm diameter × 4.5 cm length) supplied in tray packing for board assembly.
• RoHS compliant and marked — RoHS status: Compliant; series marking noted as gold color lettering on a black sleeve.

Typical Applications

• High‑end audio amplifiers — Used in audio power sections where high bulk capacitance and stable performance across temperature support fidelity‑focused designs.
• Professional audio equipment — Suited to mixing consoles, studio gear and similar equipment in the LKG series’ targeted audio market.
• HD audio consumer components — Intended for use in consumer audio products that prioritize tone quality and high‑fidelity reproduction.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance: 15,000 µF provides substantial energy storage for audio power systems.
• Audio‑centric engineering: Part of a series explicitly developed “for audio use,” with design priorities toward high‑fidelity tone quality.
• Robust ripple handling: 3.8 A ripple current rating (120 Hz) supports demanding power supply filtering in audio applications.
• Wide temperature range and validated endurance: Rated from −40°C to 85°C with 1000 hours endurance at 85°C for predictable long‑term behavior in typical operating environments.
• Snap‑in radial package: Snap‑in terminals and a can package facilitate secure mounting in PCB or chassis implementations and simplify assembly.
• Regulatory alignment and clear marking: RoHS compliance and distinctive gold on black sleeve marking ease identification and regulatory acceptance.
