LKG1V682MESABK

The LKG1V682MESABK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for use in audio equipment. It offers 6800 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating with a low‑profile cylindrical can (approx. 5.0 × 2.5 cm), optimized for power filtering and smoothing in audio applications.

Key performance attributes include a measured tanδ (DF) of 0.3 at 20°C/120 Hz, a rated low‑frequency ripple current (120 Hz) of 3.1 A, and an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing; note the part status is End Of Life.

Key Features

• Designed for Audio Equipment Built for high‑grade audio use—prioritizes high fidelity sound quality as part of the LKG series design intent.
• Capacitance & Voltage 6800 µF nominal capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and power rail decoupling.
• Electrical Loss & Ripple Performance Specified tanδ (DF) = 0.3 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and low‑frequency ripple current specified at 3.1 A (120 Hz).
• Reliability & Endurance Endurance defined as 1000 hours at 85°C with performance criteria: capacitance change within ±20%, tanδ ≤ 200% of initial, and leakage current ≤ initial specified value after test.
• Operating Temperature Range Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C to accommodate typical ambient conditions for audio electronics.
• Snap‑In Mounting & Packaging Snap‑in terminal (radial can) for chassis or board mounting where a robust mechanical mounting style is required; supplied in tray packing.
• Leakage Current Specified leakage current listed as 1460 µA (as provided for this part).
• RoHS Compliant Meets RoHS directive requirements as noted for the LKG series.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity amplifiers — Bulk energy storage and power supply smoothing to support stable rails and low‑noise audio reproduction.
• Studio and professional audio equipment — Power decoupling in mixers, preamps, and signal processing hardware where audio quality is prioritized.
• Consumer Hi‑Fi systems — Filtering and reservoir capacitance in power sections to support clean dynamic response.

Unique Advantages
