LKG1V182MESZCK

The LKG1V182MESZCK from Nichicon is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor in the LKG series engineered for high‑grade audio equipment. It offers 1.8 mF capacitance at a 35 V rating with a design emphasis on high‑fidelity sound quality for HD audio applications.

As a TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade part in the LKG family, this component combines audio‑focused electrical characteristics with a compact radial can snap‑in package and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) rated at 35 V, ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage in audio systems.
• Audio‑Oriented Grade — TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade designed for the highest tone quality within the LKG series; intended to meet high tone quality needs for HD Audio equipment.
• Low Loss — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) = 0.22 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C), supporting stable audio performance.
• Ripple Handling — Ripple current rating of 1.75 A at 120 Hz, suitable for demanding audio power circuits.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can, snap‑in terminal type for secure chassis or PCB retention in compact assemblies; polar polarity marking provided.
• Operating Range & Life — Rated for –40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance/lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Acoustic‑grade Construction — TYPE‑III design includes gold‑plated terminal treatment as part of the LKG series’ highest tone quality specification; printed marking uses gold color on a black sleeve.
• RoHS Compliant — Manufactured in accordance with RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Size — 22 mm diameter by 45 mm length (snap‑in radial can) for compact board or chassis integration.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Equipment — Suited to consumer and professional HD audio products where capacitor behavior influences tonal quality.
• Audio Amplifier Power Sections — Used in amplifier power supplies and filter networks where bulk capacitance and ripple capability matter for sonic performance.
• Studio and Pro‑Audio Systems — Applicable where consistent, long‑term performance at +85 °C and the specified endurance are required.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑first engineering: Designed specifically for high tone quality in HD audio applications, providing component behavior tuned for sound reproduction.
• TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade: Gold‑plated terminal treatment and series‑level construction targeted at the highest tone quality within the LKG family.
• Reliable thermal endurance: Rated for continuous operation up to 85 °C with a 1000‑hour endurance specification to support long‑term reliability in audio systems.
• Measurable electrical performance: Clear specifications for tan δ (0.22) and ripple current (1.75 A at 120 Hz) enable engineering tradeoffs to be assessed quantitatively.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: Radial can with snap‑in terminals offers secure mounting in space‑constrained audio chassis and assemblies.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to applicable RoHS directives for environmentally regulated designs.
