LKG2A182MESCBK

The LKG2A182MESCBK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series engineered specifically for audio use. It delivers 1.8 mF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a radial can snap-in package optimized for high-fidelity audio equipment.

Designed for applications that require substantial bulk capacitance and low-frequency ripple handling, this component combines audio-focused construction (LKG TYPE‑II "Gold Tune" grade) with defined performance metrics for ripple current, dissipation factor, leakage current and endurance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) rated at 100 V for high-energy storage in audio power systems.
• Audio-grade LKG Series (TYPE‑II) — Identified as TYPE‑II (code BK) “Gold Tune” grade intended for audio equipment and high-tone-quality applications.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can construction (φ35 × 35 mm) for secure chassis or PCB mounting in power assemblies.
• Low‑frequency Ripple Handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 3.4 A at 120 Hz, suitable for smoothing and bulk filtering at audio frequencies.
• Dissipation Factor (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.25 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing a documented loss characteristic for design verification.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1270 µA after rated-voltage application, reported for accurate power-loss budgeting.
• Operating Range & Endurance — Specified operating temperature −40°C to +85°C and rated for 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage for endurance planning.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as stated in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio amplifiers — Bulk power smoothing and decoupling where audio fidelity and defined ripple performance matter.
• HD audio equipment — Energy storage and supply stabilization to support high-tone-quality playback systems.
• Audio power supplies — Filtering and reservoir capacitance in low-frequency power stages of audio electronics.

Unique Advantages

• High working voltage: 100 V rating enables use in higher-voltage audio and power supply topologies without series stacking.
• Substantial bulk capacitance: 1.8 mF capacity provides significant energy storage for low-frequency stabilization and transient handling.
• Measured loss characteristic: Specified tan δ (0.25 at 20°C, 120 Hz) allows predictable thermal and AC loss analysis.
• Defined ripple capability: 3.4 A at 120 Hz rating helps ensure the part meets low-frequency ripple demands in audio power stages.
• Audio-grade construction: LKG TYPE‑II "Gold Tune" designation targets sound-quality conscious designs.
• Engineered endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage supports design lifetimes where elevated-temperature reliability is required.
