LKG2A222MESBBK

The LKG2A222MESBBK from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LKG series engineered for audio equipment. It delivers 2200 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating with a snap-in radial can package and polarized terminals for robust power-storage and smoothing in audio power designs.

Designed with audio applications in mind, this capacitor combines a high-voltage rating, significant capacitance, and a measured ripple-current capability to support power supply filtering and energy buffering in high-fidelity audio systems and related professional equipment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF (2200 µF) rated at 100 V for high-voltage energy storage in power supply and audio circuits.
• Snap-in Radial Can — Snap-in terminal mounting for secure mechanical retention and simplified board-level installation.
• Ripple Current Capability — 3.95 A ripple current rated at 120 Hz to support smoothing and decoupling in power stages.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1400 µA (per product listing) to help define standby and bias conditions.
• Operating Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C, providing predictable behavior across typical audio equipment environments.
• Tolerance & Stability — ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C, consistent with the LKG series specifications for predictable filtering performance.
• Audio-focused Design — Part of Nichicon’s LKG series developed for audio use; finished with gold-color printing on a black sleeve as specified for the series.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for material compliance.

Typical Applications

• Audio Power Amplifiers — Bulk energy storage and smoothing for amplifier supply rails to maintain stable output under dynamic loads.
