LKG1V153MESCBK

The LKG1V153MESCBK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, configured with a snap-in terminal for secure board mounting. It delivers 15,000 µF at a 35 V rating with a polarized radial can package targeted for audio equipment and high-fidelity audio applications.

Designed for audio use within the LKG family, this capacitor balances high bulk capacitance, measurable ripple handling, and specified endurance to support power smoothing and decoupling in audio power supplies and related subsystems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 15,000 µF nominal at a rated voltage of 35 V, providing significant bulk energy storage for power supply filtering and decoupling.
• Tolerance & Polarization: ±20% capacitance tolerance and polarized construction suitable for typical power supply and audio circuit topologies.
• Power Handling: Ripple current rating of 4.8 A (120 Hz) and specified loss tangent (tan δ) of 0.3, supporting steady ripple handling for low-frequency power filtering.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current value of 2,170 µA, useful for evaluating quiescent current in audio power rails and bias circuits.
• Package & Mounting: Radial can, snap-in terminal style (φ35 × 50L), intended for secure snap-in board installation and mechanical stability in chassis-mounted audio systems.
• Temperature & Endurance: Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 1,000 hours at 85 °C, enabling predictable performance under elevated-temperature stress.
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant, and marked with gold color lettering on a black sleeve for clear identification.

Typical Applications

• High-fidelity audio amplifiers: Bulk filtering and power supply smoothing to support clean, stable supply rails for amplifier stages.
• Audio power supplies: Energy storage and decoupling in linear and switch-mode supplies used in audio equipment.
• Professional audio systems: Suitable for mixers, preamps, and other rack-mounted or chassis-installed audio gear requiring high capacitance and stable performance.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance: 15,000 µF provides substantial energy reserve for low-frequency smoothing and transient support in audio power chains.
• Snap-in radial package: φ35 radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies mechanical mounting and improves retention in chassis or PCB assemblies.
• Measured ripple capability: 4.8 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz helps manage AC stress in power rails typical to audio power supplies.
• Engineered for audio use: Part of Nichicon’s LKG series, designed with audio equipment priorities in mind to support high-fidelity sound applications.
• Endurance at elevated temperature: 1,000-hour rating at 85 °C provides a defined reliability metric for thermal stress planning.
• RoHS compliant marking: Clear gold-on-black sleeve marking and RoHS status aid traceability and regulatory alignment.
