LKG2A102MESCCK

The LKG2A102MESCCK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LKG series engineered for audio applications. With 1000 μF capacitance at a 100 V rating, polarized construction and a φ35×30 L can-style package, it is intended for high‑grade audio equipment where bulk filtering and power smoothing are required.

This unit is specified for operation from -40 °C to 85 °C, a rated ripple current of 3.05 A (120 Hz), a leakage current around 940 μA, and an endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C. The part is supplied in tray packing and is currently designated End of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 μF capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage, suitable for energy storage and bulk filtering on higher‑voltage audio rails.
• Snap‑in Mounting — Radial, can snap‑in package for secure board retention and simplified through‑hole assembly.
• Audio‑Focused Design — Part of the LKG series designed specifically for high‑grade audio equipment and HD audio applications.
• TYPE‑III (Gold‑Tune / Super Through) — Suffix "CK" denotes the TYPE‑III grade, which employs gold‑plated terminal adoption as specified in the series documentation.
• Endurance & Temperature — Rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C and specified to operate from -40 °C to 85 °C, meeting lifecycle expectations for warmed audio enclosures.
• Ripple Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 3.05 A at 120 Hz to manage AC ripple in power supply applications.
• Leakage Current & Tolerance — Leakage current approximately 940 μA and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements as noted for the LKG series.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity amplifiers — Bulk filtering and reservoir capacitance for power rails in high‑grade amplifier designs.
• Audio power supplies — Smoothing and ripple suppression on 100 V‑class supply lines where larger capacitance is required.
• Studio and consumer audio equipment — Used in systems that prioritize sound quality and stable power delivery for HD audio performance.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio performance: Series focus on high‑grade audio ensures the part is specified with features (TYPE‑III grade, gold‑plated terminal adoption) aimed at fidelity‑minded designs.
• High voltage and bulk capacitance: 100 V rating combined with 1000 μF provides energy reserve for higher‑voltage audio rails, reducing supply sag under load.
• Robust ripple capability: 3.05 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports heavy ripple conditions typical of rectified audio power supplies.
• Operational temperature range: −40 °C to 85 °C and 1000‑hour endurance at 85 °C provide predictable performance in warmed equipment enclosures.
• Through‑hole snap‑in form factor: Radial snap‑in cans offer mechanical retention advantages for vertical mounting and serviceability in audio chassis.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance aligns the component with common environmental requirements for electronic assemblies.
