The LKG1V822MESAAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified at 8200 µF and 35 V. It is designed for audio equipment where high fidelity and tone quality are prioritized, meeting the needs of HD audio systems.

Built for board‑level assembly, this radial can (snap‑in) device combines high capacitance with a temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for regulated designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 8.2 mF (8200 µF) rated at 35 V, providing substantial bulk energy storage for audio power rails.
• Audio‑Oriented Grade (TYPE‑I / Gold Tune) — Part number suffix "AK" corresponds to the TYPE‑I (Gold Tune) grade in the LKG series, engineered for high tone quality in audio applications.
• Snap‑In Terminal Package — Radial, can‑style snap‑in mounting for secure, repeatable board installation in amplifier and audio power supply assemblies.
• Operating Range & Endurance — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85 °C per the LKG series endurance criteria.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 2.7 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and filtering in audio power stages.
• Capacitance Tolerance & Polarization — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C, and polarized construction for correct DC application.
• Leakage Current Specification — Series leakage characteristic defined as not more than 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20 °C (per LKG series datasheet method).
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Bulk energy storage and smoothing for power rails to support clean, stable supply rails in consumer and professional amplifiers.
• HD Audio Systems — Designed to meet the tone‑quality demands of high‑definition audio equipment where sound fidelity is a priority.
