LKG2A152MESCBK

The LKG2A152MESCBK is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified at 1500 µF and 100 V. It is part of the LKG audio lineup and is designed for high‑grade audio equipment where fidelity and stable power delivery are priorities.

Built as a TYPE‑II (center grade) device, this capacitor combines large capacitance, high voltage rating and snap‑in mounting to support power filtering and reservoir functions in professional audio and related electronic systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.5 mF (1500 µF) rated at 100 V to provide substantial energy storage for power supply smoothing and reservoir roles in audio equipment.
• Audio‑Focused Design (TYPE‑II): Engineered for high‑grade audio use with a center‑grade electrode foil construction to prioritize fidelity in audio applications.
• Electrical Characteristics: Capacitance tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.25 (measurement frequency 120 Hz, 20°C), and a specified ripple current of 3.2 A at 120 Hz.
• Package & Mounting: Snap‑in terminal, radial can (snap‑in), compact dimensions approximately L 30 mm × Ø 35 mm for chassis or board‑mount snap‑in installation.
• Reliability & Endurance: Rated operating temperature −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C; after endurance testing capacitance remains within ±20% and leakage and tan δ meet datasheet limits.
• Polarized Electrolytic: Polar construction for correct polarity installation in DC power circuits commonly found in audio power supplies.
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Identification: Marked with gold color lettering on a black sleeve for visual identification.

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade Audio Amplifiers: Used as power supply reservoir and smoothing capacitors to support stable voltage rails and reduce power‑supply‑related distortion.
• Studio and Professional Audio Equipment: Integrated where fidelity and low noise are required, supporting consistent performance across operating temperatures.
• Audio Power Filtering: Employed in power supply filtering stages to handle ripple current (3.2 A at 120 Hz) and provide bulk energy storage for dynamic audio loads.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑grade electrode construction: TYPE‑II center‑grade design targets high‑fidelity performance for demanding audio applications.
• High voltage capability: 100 V rating offers expanded headroom for higher‑voltage audio power supplies and designs.
• High capacitance in a compact can: 1500 µF in a 35 mm diameter × 30 mm length package provides substantial energy density where space is limited.
• Snap‑in mounting: Secure snap‑in terminal package simplifies mechanical retention and electrical connection in chassis or PCB assemblies.
• Designed endurance: Specified 1000 hours at 85°C with defined post‑test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current to support predictable long‑term behavior.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regions with restricted substance requirements.
