It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a compact 22 mm diameter × 45 mm length package with snap‑in mounting for secure PCB installation.

Built as part of Nichicon’s LKG series—designed with audio performance in mind—this capacitor balances capacitance, ripple handling and low‑loss characteristics for power supply smoothing and audio signal support in high‑grade audio systems.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1.5 mF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 100 V rated voltage for substantial energy storage and filtering headroom.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — Specified tanδ (DF) of 0.25 at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting lower dissipation in audio frequency operation.
• Rated Ripple Current — Rated ripple current 2.40 Arms at 85°C, 120 Hz to support continuous AC load on the device in power supply applications.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 1160 µA after voltage application, enabling predictable bias behavior when designing power circuits.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with endurance rated to 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can for robust mechanical retention; tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Series Characteristics — Part of the LKG audio‑focused series from Nichicon, designed for high‑grade audio equipment and HD audio applications.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
• Polarized — Intended for polarized applications; observe correct polarity during assembly.
• Low‑temperature Impedance Stability — Series specification: Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 4 and Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 12 (measurement frequency 120 Hz), useful when designing for cold‑start or low‑temperature operation.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Power Supplies — Energy storage and smoothing in audio amplifier supply rails where stable ripple handling and low loss matter for sound fidelity.
• Audio Amplifiers — Bulk decoupling and reservoir capacitance for analog amplifier stages in professional and consumer HD audio equipment.
• HD Audio Systems — Support for systems prioritizing tonal quality and low distortion through controlled impedance and loss characteristics.
