Overview of LKG1V153MESCAK – Snap-In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 15,000 µF, 35 V
The LKG1V153MESCAK is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for high-grade audio equipment. It offers a large 15,000 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a radial snap-in can designed for robust power filtering and reservoir applications in audio systems.
Built to series LKG specifications for audio use, this TYPE‑III (Super Through) variant targets high-fidelity applications where bulk capacitance, low-frequency ripple handling and stable performance across a wide temperature range matter.
Key Features
- High Capacitance: 15,000 µF rated capacitance provides substantial energy storage for power supply smoothing and low-frequency decoupling in audio circuits.
- 35 V Rated Voltage: Designed for mid-voltage audio power rails and related supply circuits requiring a 35 V nominal working voltage.
- Snap-In Radial Can Package: Snap-in mounting and radial can construction simplify PCB assembly and secure mechanical retention for high-capacitance modules.
- Low-Frequency Ripple Handling: Rated low-frequency ripple current of 3.8 A at 120 Hz supports handling of heavy ripple common in power supply and amplifier stages.
- Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after the life test.
- Electrical Characteristics: Capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C), tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.3 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and leakage current listed at 2170 µA.
- Audio-Focused Grade: Part of the LKG series developed for audio use; TYPE‑III (CK) denotes the Super Through grade intended for the highest tone quality within the series.
- Temperature Range and Size: Operates from −40°C to +85°C and is supplied in a φ35 × 35 mm can size suitable for compact high-capacitance modules.
- RoHS Compliant: Manufactured to comply with RoHS requirements referenced in the series documentation.
Typical Applications
- High-Fidelity Audio Amplifiers: Bulk reservoir and smoothing capacitor for amplifier power rails to support clean, stable supply under dynamic load.
- Professional Audio Equipment: Filtering and energy storage in mixing consoles, studio power supplies and pro audio gear where tone quality is prioritized.
- High-Capacity Power Modules: Energy buffering and ripple attenuation in power supply modules for audio and related consumer electronics.
Unique Advantages
- Large Energy Storage: 15,000 µF capacitance reduces voltage ripple and provides reserve energy for transient loads in audio systems.
