Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, specified at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Rated Voltage — 100 V rated voltage for higher headroom in audio power supply and filtering applications.
• Ripple Current — 3.1 A ripple current at 120 Hz, supporting smoothing and decoupling in power sections.
• Leakage Current — Listed leakage current of 940 µA (per part listing), measured under standard conditions.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Package & Mounting — Radial snap‑in can (φ25×50L) for secure board mounting and mechanical stability; tray packed for assembly handling.
• Polarized Design — Intended for polarized DC applications common in audio power circuits.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in the product data.
• Audio‑Focused Construction — LKG series is specified for audio use and high tone quality, with marking printed in gold on a black sleeve per series documentation.
• Low‑Temperature Impedance Behavior — Series specification includes impedance ratios for low temperatures (Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 4; Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 12), supporting predictable performance in colder environments.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage in power rails for amplifiers and audio processors, leveraging the 100 V rating and 3.1 A ripple capability.
• Audio Amplifiers — Decoupling and reservoir functions in amplifier power stages where polarized electrolytics are required.
