LKG2A152MESBBK

The LKG2A152MESBBK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series featuring a snap‑in terminal configuration and a rated capacitance of 1500 µF at 100 V. It is part of the LKG family developed for audio equipment and HD audio applications where tone quality and high‑fidelity sound are priorities.

Designed for chassis or board mounting, this polarized radial can provides high voltage capability, a substantial low‑frequency ripple current rating, and a defined endurance profile for use in audio power and signal systems. The capacitor is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage for higher DC application headroom.
• Tolerance & Loss — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and tanδ of 0.25 (20 °C, 120 Hz) for predictable frequency response in audio circuits.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current rating of 3.4 A at 120 Hz to support power filtering and smoothing tasks in audio power stages.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1160 µA, providing defined DC leakage characteristics after voltage application.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — 1000 hours at 85 °C endurance; rated operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C for stable performance across typical audio equipment environments.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ30 × 35L / L: 3.5 cm × D: 3.0 cm) for secure mounting in chassis or panel assemblies; supplied in tray packing.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Suited to applications where the LKG series’ emphasis on tone quality and high‑fidelity sound is required.
• Audio amplifier power stages — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling for smoothing and supply decoupling in amplifier designs.
• HD audio systems — Fits into designs targeting improved audio reproduction characteristics as described for the LKG series.
