LKG2A182MESBAK

The LKG2A182MESBAK is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in, radial can package designed specifically for audio equipment. It provides 1.8 mF (1800 µF) capacitance at a 100 V rating, optimized for applications where high tone quality and stable power filtering are required.

This unit is part of Nichicon's LKG series Type-III “Super Through” grade, featuring gold‑plated terminals for improved contact characteristics and targeted at high-grade and HD audio equipment. It is RoHS compliant and specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Audio‑Focused Grade Designed for high-grade audio and HD audio equipment; Type-III classification targets the highest tone quality within the LKG series through gold-plated terminal construction.
• High Capacitance and Voltage 1.8 mF (1800 µF) rated at 100 V for robust energy storage in audio power circuits.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package Snap-in terminal format (radial, can – snap-in) for secure chassis or PCB mounting; physical size approximately φ30 × 30 mm (L: 3 cm × D: 3 cm).
• Electrical Characteristics Capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C) and polarized construction. Leakage current specification follows industry formula: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20 °C leakage ≤ 3√(C·V) μA.
• Ripple Handling Ripple current (low frequency) rated at 2.9 A at 120 Hz, suitable for duty in audio power applications.
• Operating Range & Endurance Temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C with endurance: rated voltage applied for 1000 hours at 85 °C; capacitance change within ±20% after endurance test.
• RoHS Compliant Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Identification Marking printed in gold color on a black sleeve for easy visual identification.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Energy storage and smoothing in audio systems where sonic performance is a priority.
• HD audio systems — Designed to meet high tone quality requirements for HD audio playback and amplification chains.
• Audio power modules — Use in power sections of amplifiers and preamplifiers that require stable DC filtering at higher voltages.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-centric construction: Type‑III LKG series design and material choices focus on delivering the tonal characteristics sought in high‑grade audio equipment.
• Gold‑plated terminals: Low‑drag gold plating on terminals supports improved contact behavior and is a distinguishing feature of the Type‑III grade.
• High voltage capability: 100 V rating enables use in higher-voltage audio power stages and supply reservoirs.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ30 × 30 mm radial can with snap-in terminals for reliable mechanical mounting and straightforward installation.
• Specified endurance and temperature range: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C ensures predictable long-term behavior under rated conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental and manufacturing compliance requirements.
