LKG2A182MESZAK

The LKG2A182MESZAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, specified at 1.8 mF (1800 µF) and 100 V. It is designed for audio applications and for use in high‑grade HD audio equipment where priority is given to high fidelity and tone quality.

This radial can, snap‑in package combines a compact 22 mm diameter by 50 mm length footprint with audio‑grade electrical characteristics, a defined tan δ, and a ripple current rating suited to low‑frequency audio systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) rated capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance.
• Audio‑Focused Performance — Specifically developed for high‑grade audio equipment and HD Audio needs; the LKG series emphasizes high tone quality.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.25 (measurement frequency: 120 Hz at 20°C), supporting predictable frequency‑domain behavior in audio circuits.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 2.85 A at 120 Hz for low‑frequency audio applications.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap‑in terminal for secure chassis or PCB mounting; physical size approximately 22 mm diameter × 50 mm length.
• Reliability & Temperature — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C.
• Leakage Current Specified — Leakage current limited per datasheet formula (≤ 3√CV μA after 5 minutes at 20°C), ensuring defined leakage behavior.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Equipment — Suited to components in systems where audible tone quality and fidelity are priorities.
• HD Audio Systems — Targeted for use in HD Audio equipment that requires audio‑focused capacitive performance.
• Professional and Consumer Audio Electronics — Appropriate for audio subsystem implementations within consumer and professional devices that specify snap‑in mounting and audio‑grade components.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑centric design: Engineered within the LKG series for high tone quality to address HD Audio requirements.
• High voltage capability: 100 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage audio power stages where elevated DC voltage headroom is required.
• Compact snap‑in package: 22 mm × 50 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals provides a secure mechanical mounting option in chassis or board layouts.
• Defined electrical behavior: Specified tan δ (0.25 at 120 Hz) and leakage limits (≤ 3√CV μA after 5 minutes) offer predictable performance for audio circuit design.
• Thermal endurance: Rated for −40°C to +85°C operation with 1000 hours endurance at 85°C, supporting sustained performance under rated thermal stress.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance ensures alignment with common environmental requirements.
