LKG2A122MESCCK

The LKG2A122MESCCK is a snap‑in, radial aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, optimized for audio equipment. It delivers 1.2 mF (1200 µF) capacitance at a 100 V rating, packaged in a φ35 can with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting.

Designed for high‑tone audio applications, this Type‑III (Super Through) grade prioritizes audio fidelity with construction choices described for high tone quality. It is RoHS compliant and specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with a 1000‑hour endurance at the upper temperature limit.

Key Features

• High Voltage / High Capacitance — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) at 100 V provides substantial energy storage for audio power supply filtering and reservoir applications.
• Type‑III Audio Grade (Super Through) — Part of the LKG series’ highest tone quality grade; the series notes gold‑plated terminal adoption for reduced contact drag and audio performance focus.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminals and radial can construction enable robust mechanical retention for chassis and PCB mounting in equipment assemblies.
• Frequency / Loss Performance — Specified dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.2 at 20 °C, 120 Hz, providing a defined loss characteristic for audio applications.
• Ripple and Leakage — Rated ripple current of 3.3 A at 120 Hz and documented leakage current of 1030 µA, allowing designers to balance thermal and leakage budgets in amplifier power stages.
• Operating and Endurance Range — Operating temperature −40 °C to +85 °C with endurance rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C, supporting sustained operation in consumer and professional audio environments.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Amplifiers — Energy storage and power supply smoothing where stable capacitance and defined loss help maintain audio performance.
• Audio Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and reservoir capacitors in power rails for stereo and multi‑channel audio equipment.
• Professional Audio Gear — Use in mixers, preamplifiers, and studio equipment that demand audio‑centric component choices.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Grade: Type‑III (Super Through) designation and gold‑plated terminal adoption target high tone quality for HD audio applications.
• Substantial Energy Density: 1.2 mF at 100 V delivers significant capacitance for power filtering without increasing voltage stress on components.
• Robust Mounting: Snap‑in radial can construction offers secure mechanical retention for equipment subjected to handling and assembly processes.
• Engineered Thermal Endurance: Rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C, supporting predictable long‑term performance under elevated operating temperature conditions.
• Measured Electrical Parameters: Specified tan δ (0.2 at 20 °C, 120 Hz), ripple current (3.3 A at 120 Hz), and documented leakage current (1030 µA) provide clear design inputs for system reliability and thermal management.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements as stated in the product documentation.
