LKG2A182MESBBK

The LKG2A182MESBBK is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LKG series, engineered for audio equipment. It is a TYPE‑II (BK) grade, snap‑in terminal can designed for high‑grade audio applications and HD audio equipment.

Key electrical characteristics include 1800 µF capacitance at 100 V, a rated ripple current of 3.7 A (120 Hz), and a specified operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C. Note: this part is listed as End of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Audio‑Focused Grade — TYPE‑II (BK) grade from the LKG series, specified for use in high‑grade audio equipment and HD audio applications.
• High Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 3.7 A at 120 Hz, suitable for power smoothing and bulk energy buffering on audio rails.
• Loss and Leakage — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.25 and measured leakage current value provided (1270 µA); datasheet defines leakage limits and measurement conditions.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C; endurance criteria include capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage limits after the rated test.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package (φ30 × 40 mm) for secure board mounting and tray packing for handling.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive as indicated in series documentation.
• Identification — Marked with gold‑color lettering on a black sleeve for quick visual identification.

Typical Applications

• High‑fidelity audio amplifiers — Bulk filtering and power rail smoothing where audio-grade capacitors are required.
• Powered speakers and active monitors — Energy buffering and decoupling on supply rails to support dynamic audio signals.
• Mixing consoles and studio equipment — DC smoothing and supply stabilization for low‑noise audio circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑oriented design — Part of the LKG series engineered specifically for audio use, offering grades tuned for sound quality.
• High voltage capability — 100 V rating enables use on higher rail voltages in professional audio power systems.
• Robust ripple performance — 3.7 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports demanding power‑supply smoothing tasks.
• Wide temperature range with defined endurance — −40 °C to +85 °C operating window and 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C provide predictable long‑term behavior under rated conditions.
• Clear part identification — Black sleeve with gold printing ties into the series’ visual marking scheme for easy inventory and assembly control.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports environmentally restricted product requirements.
