LKG2A272MESCAK

The LKG2A272MESCAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor engineered for audio use. Built on the Nichicon LKG series architecture and designated as TYPE‑III, it prioritizes high‑fidelity tone quality through low‑drag, gold‑plated terminals and construction optimized for HD audio equipment.

Key electrical and mechanical characteristics include 2.7 mF capacitance at 100 V rating, polarized snap‑in can package (φ35 × 35 mm), RoHS compliance, and an operating temperature range from −40 °C to +85 °C.

Key Features

• Audio‑focused design (TYPE‑III): TYPE‑III grade in the LKG series—optimized for the highest tone quality through low‑drag gold‑plated terminals.
• Capacitance and voltage: 2.7 mF (2,700 μF) rated capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage, suitable for audio power applications requiring high capacitance at elevated voltages.
• Snap‑in, radial can package: Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction with dimensions φ35 × 35 mm for secure PCB mounting and stable mechanical retention.
• Temperature and lifetime: Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with rated endurance of 1,000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage.
• Electrical tolerance and performance: Capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C) and low‑frequency ripple current of 3.25 A at 120 Hz.
• Leakage and stability characteristics: Leakage current specified as not more than 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20 °C; endurance limits include capacitance change within ±20% and tan δ within 200% of initial specified value after endurance test.
• RoHS compliant and marked for identification: Conforms to RoHS directives and is printed with gold‑color lettering on a black sleeve.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment: Suited for electronic systems where prioritizing fidelity and tone quality is required.
• HD audio systems: Meets the high tone quality needs specified for HD Audio equipment through TYPE‑III construction and gold‑plated terminals.
• Audio component assemblies: Use in assemblies that require polarized bulk capacitance in a snap‑in radial can package with secure PCB mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for fidelity: TYPE‑III grading and low‑drag gold‑plated terminals target improved tonal characteristics important to high‑grade and HD audio designs.
• High voltage capability: 100 V rating enables use in audio circuits that require elevated DC bus or filtering voltages without sacrificing capacitance.
• Robust operational window: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range with a 1,000‑hour endurance at 85 °C provides predictable performance under defined thermal stress.
• Measured ripple handling: Specified ripple current of 3.25 A at 120 Hz supports low‑frequency audio power applications where ripple performance is important.
• Clear specification and marking: Manufacturer marking in gold on a black sleeve eases identification and inventory control in production environments.
