Key electrical and mechanical characteristics include a tanδ of 0.25, ripple current of 2.75 A (120 Hz), leakage current of 940 µA, a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C, and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. Packing is by tray. Note: this part is listed End of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF rated capacitance at 100 V for bulk energy storage and DC filtering needs in audio power systems.
• Audio‑grade LKG Series, TYPE‑II (BK) — Designed for audio equipment; the part number suffix BK indicates the TYPE‑II (Gold Tune) grade within the LKG family.
• Low loss (tanδ) — tanδ = 0.25 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) for stable filter and decoupling behavior in audio paths.
• Ripple current capability — 2.75 A at 120 Hz to support supply smoothing under dynamic audio loads.
• Leakage current — Initial leakage specified at 940 µA.
• Temperature and lifetime — Rated operating range -40 °C to +85 °C with endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap‑in lug terminals (snap‑in mounting) in a compact φ25 × 35 mm can; supplied in tray packing.
• Polarized device — Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for DC applications.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive compliance listed for the series.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio amplifiers — Bulk supply smoothing and decoupling for power rails in high‑fidelity amplifier designs.
• Professional audio equipment — Energy reservoir and ripple suppression in mixers, preamplifiers, and studio electronics where audio performance is prioritized.
• HD audio systems — Filtering and stabilization in systems that emphasize low‑distortion power delivery for improved sonic fidelity.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused construction — Part of the LKG series and designated TYPE‑II (BK) audio grade, providing specification alignment for high‑fidelity equipment design.
• High voltage headroom — 100 V rating allows use in higher‑voltage rail designs without series stacking.
• Measured low loss — tanδ = 0.25 (120 Hz, 20 °C) supports predictable frequency response in audio filter sections.
• Good ripple handling — 2.75 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports real‑world dynamic loads in audio power supplies.
• Compact snap‑in form factor — φ25 × 35 mm can with snap‑in terminals provides a secure board mounting option with a small footprint for high‑density audio chassis.
• Documented endurance — 1000 hours at 85 °C specified endurance for defined lifetime planning in thermal environments up to 85 °C.

Why Choose LKG2A102MESABK?
