Overview of LKG2A821MESBAK – Aluminum Electrolytic Snap‑In Capacitor, 820 µF / 100 V
The LKG2A821MESBAK is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LKG series, engineered for audio applications where fidelity is a priority. It combines a high capacitance of 820 µF with a 100 V rating in a radial, can-type snap‑in package designed for board-mounted power and audio circuitry.
Targeted at high‑grade and HD audio equipment, this capacitor offers a blend of audio-focused design and documented electrical and reliability characteristics—including defined ripple current, operating temperature range, and endurance—to support audio power stages and related circuitry.
Key Features
- Audio-focused design — Developed for high‑grade audio equipment with priority on high‑fidelity sound quality as described in the LKG series documentation.
- Capacitance & voltage — 820 µF rated capacitance at 100 V, suitable where significant energy storage and higher DC voltage capability are required.
- Snap‑in radial can package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can configuration for robust mechanical mounting in power and audio assemblies.
- Polarized electrolytic — Polarized construction appropriate for DC link, smoothing, and energy reservoir roles in audio power circuits.
- Operating range and endurance — Rated for -40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage.
- Ripple current capability — Specified ripple current of 1.9 A at 120 Hz to support AC ripple handling in power applications.
- Leakage current specification — Meets the datasheet leakage current requirement: after 5 minutes at 20 °C, leakage current not more than 3√CV (µA).
- RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- High‑grade audio equipment — Use where sound quality is prioritized; provides energy storage and stability for audio power stages consistent with the LKG series intent.
- HD Audio systems — Suited to equipment that specifies components chosen to meet sound‑quality requirements stated for the series.
- Audio power modules — Applicable in power supply filter and reservoir roles within audio amplifiers and related boards, leveraging the 820 µF / 100 V rating and specified ripple current.
Unique Advantages
- Designed for fidelity: Series-level design emphasis on high‑tone quality supports use in high‑grade and HD audio products.
- High voltage capability: 100 V rating allows deployment in higher‑voltage audio and power circuits without upsizing multiple lower‑voltage parts.
- Documented endurance: 1000 hours at 85 °C with specified post‑test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current provides predictable lifetime behavior.
- Defined ripple handling: 1.9 A ripple current (120 Hz) specification enables engineers to size the capacitor against expected AC stress in power applications.
- Controlled leakage: Leakage current limit of 3√CV µA after 5 minutes at 20 °C offers a measurable parameter for low‑current designs.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in designs targeting current environmental directive requirements.
