LKG1V472MESBBK

The LKG1V472MESBBK from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKG series, engineered for high-grade audio equipment where fidelity and stable power delivery are priorities. It delivers 4.7 mF (4700 μF) capacitance at a 35 V rating in a compact φ30 × 30 mm can and is supplied as a polarized, radial snap-in package.

Designed for audio applications, this TYPE-II (BK) “Gold Tune” grade capacitor emphasizes tonal quality and multi-use performance while meeting RoHS environmental requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 4.7 mF (4700 μF) rated at 35 V, providing bulk energy storage for power supply smoothing and decoupling in audio circuits.
• Audio-grade Construction (TYPE-II – BK) — Identified as TYPE-II (BK) Gold Tune grade in the LKG series, optimized for high-tone quality using electrode foil tailored for audio performance.
• Snap-in Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap-in mounting simplifies PCB assembly for power supply and amplifier modules requiring secure vertical mounting.
• Operating Range — Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, suitable for typical audio equipment environmental conditions.
• Endurance — Specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after endurance testing.
• Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current rating of 2.55 A at 120 Hz to support AC ripple filtering in power rails.
• Tolerance and Polarity — Capacitance tolerance ±20% and polarized construction; intended for correct-polarity applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for reduced hazardous substances.
• Physical ID — Marked with gold-colored lettering on a black sleeve for clear visual identification consistent with LKG series styling.

Typical Applications

• High-grade Audio Amplifiers — Bulk filtering and reservoir capacitance for power supply stages where tonal consistency and low noise are required.
• HD Audio Equipment — Energy storage and decoupling in high-fidelity audio front ends and preamp circuitry to support HD audio playback.
• Power Supply Filtering — Smoothing of rectified rails and suppression of low-frequency ripple in consumer and professional audio power supplies.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused Grade: TYPE-II (BK) Gold Tune designation signals electrode and construction choices intended to prioritize sound quality for HD audio designs.
• Compact Snap-In Form: φ30 × 30 mm radial can with snap-in terminals provides a balance of capacitance and footprint for space-constrained chassis and boards.
• Engineered Endurance: 1000-hour rating at 85°C under rated voltage gives designers a defined reliability expectation for lifecycle planning.
• Practical Ripple Capability: 2.55 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports effective AC ripple filtering in typical audio power circuits.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial audio products.
