LKG1V272MESAAK

The LKG1V272MESAAK from Nichicon is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor optimized for audio use. It delivers 2700 µF nominal capacitance at 35 V with a polarized radial can snap‑in package designed for high‑grade and HD audio equipment.

This part prioritizes fidelity and low loss (tan δ = 0.3) while providing board‑mount convenience and measurable reliability: rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with a specified 1000 h endurance at 85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 2.7 mF (2700 µF) nominal capacitance at a 35 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance.
• Audio‑Optimized Grade: Designed specifically for high‑grade audio and HD audio equipment, reflecting the LKG series focus on high fidelity sound quality.
• Low Loss (tan δ): Specified tan δ = 0.3 (measurement context per series data), supporting lower dissipation in audio circuits.
• Mounting & Package: Snap‑in radial can package (snap‑in terminal) for secure board mounting and ease of assembly.
• Compact Size: 25 mm diameter × 20 mm length (L: 2.0 cm × D: 2.5 cm), suitable where a compact snap‑in electrolytic is required.
• Operating Range & Endurance: Rated for −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Ripple Handling: Ripple current rating of 1.55 A at 120 Hz to support power filtering in audio power supplies and signal chains.
• Leakage Current Specification: Series leakage current limit defined as ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C (per datasheet series specification).
• Polarized Device: Polar capacitor construction for DC bias applications common in amplifier and power‑supply circuits.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment: Energy storage and smoothing in amplifier stages and audio power supplies where fidelity is a priority.
• HD Audio systems: Designed to meet sound‑quality requirements of HD audio applications and high‑tone quality circuits.
• Board‑mounted power filtering: Snap‑in radial package enables secure mounting for bulk decoupling and power rail stabilization on audio PCBs.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑first design: The LKG series emphasis on sound quality aligns this part to applications that demand careful sonic performance.
• Compact, serviceable snap‑in format: Radial snap‑in can combines a small footprint (25 mm × 20 mm) with robust mechanical retention for PCB assembly.
• Measurable low loss: Specified tan δ = 0.3 provides a clear metric for designers balancing loss and ESR in audio signal and power paths.
• Thermal endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C endurance rating supports long‑term operation under elevated temperature conditions common in audio enclosures.
• Documented leakage and low‑temperature behavior: Series leakage current and impedance stability figures (e.g., Z ratios at −25°C and −40°C) enable predictable performance across temperature extremes.
• RoHS compliance: Meets current RoHS requirements for environmentally regulated designs.
