Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4.7 mF (4700 µF) nominal capacitance rated at 35 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Audio‑grade design — Designed for high grade audio equipment, giving priority to high fidelity sound quality as part of the LKG series.
• Mounting & package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (φ25 × 25 L / 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm) for robust mechanical retention.
• Performance specifications — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.3; ripple current 2.15 A at 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 1210 µA.
• Temperature & endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with endurance rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Bulk energy storage and smoothing on audio power rails to support stable low‑frequency performance.
• Professional audio equipment — Power supply decoupling and reservoir duties in studio consoles, preamps, and other high‑grade audio gear.
• Audio power supplies — Filtering and ripple attenuation where specified ripple and leakage characteristics are required.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused engineering: Part of Nichicon’s LKG family designed specifically for high‑grade audio use, prioritizing fidelity in sound reproduction.
• Large capacitance for low‑frequency support: 4700 µF nominal value provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and transient support on audio rails.
• Clear electrical specifications: Defined ripple current (2.15 A at 120 Hz), leakage (1210 µA), and tan δ (0.3) enable predictable design margins.
• Durable thermal/endurance rating: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range with 1000 h endurance at 85 °C for use in warm equipment enclosures.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies mechanical installation in chassis or board assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for environmental and materials traceability.
