LKG2A122MESCAK

The LKG2A122MESCAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in, radial can package designed for audio equipment. It provides 1.2 mF (1200 µF) capacitance at a 100 V rated voltage with a compact φ35 × 20 mm form factor.

Built as part of Nichicon’s LKG series for high‑tone audio applications, this TYPE‑III (Super Through) grade unit combines a high voltage rating, elevated ripple capability, defined endurance and RoHS compliance for use in demanding audio assemblies and HD audio equipment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Audio‑Focused Grade — Part of the LKG series designed for audio equipment; TYPE‑III (CK) grade with gold‑plated terminals as specified for the series' highest tone quality.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in, radial can package for secure panel/board mounting in compact assemblies (φ35 × 20L; L: 2 cm × D: 3.5 cm).
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current 2.3 A at 120 Hz to support higher AC stress in audio power stages.
• Leakage Current Specification — Series leakage current limit per datasheet: not more than 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; this part listing shows 1030 µA.
• Operating Temperature & Endurance — Rated for −40°C to +85°C; endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C with rated voltage applied (capacitance change within ±20% after recovery to 20°C).
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant as specified for the LKG series.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio equipment — Suited to audio designs that prioritize tonal quality using components from Nichicon’s LKG series.
• HD audio systems — Intended for use in HD audio applications where the series’ tone‑quality grading and terminal finish are relevant.
• Audio power sections — Applicable where higher ripple handling (2.3 A at 120 Hz) and 100 V rating are required in a compact snap‑in can.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑optimized design: LKG series heritage and TYPE‑III grading target high‑tone audio performance and terminal treatment consistent with premium audio use.
• High voltage capability: 100 V rating allows use in higher‑headroom audio power stages without upsizing the package.
• Compact snap‑in packaging: φ35 × 20 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies mechanical mounting while saving axial space.
• Defined endurance profile: 1000 hours at 85°C with rated voltage provides a clear reliability expectation under elevated temperature stress.
• Measurable ripple handling: 2.3 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz helps manage AC stress in audio supply paths.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements as specified for the series.
