LGU1C273MELA

The LGU1C273MELA is a Nichicon LGU series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor providing 27,000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. Designed as a 105°C standard snap‑in terminal type, it targets general-purpose power applications that require high bulk capacitance and sustained ripple handling.

This part is specified for long endurance under rated ripple conditions (3000 hours at 105°C), and is offered in a compact φ25×50 mm can with tray packing for production-ready use. It is RoHS compliant and available in mass production.

Key Features

• High Capacitance, Low Voltage: 27,000 µF (27 mF) nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage, suitable for substantial bulk energy storage in low-voltage power rails.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C while withstanding application of rated ripple current, per LGU series endurance specification.
• Robust Ripple Performance: Low-frequency ripple current 3.85 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 4.428 A (50 kHz) to support demanding AC ripple environments.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics: Dissipation factor (tanδ) max 0.50 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 1970 µA.
• Operating Temperature Range: −40°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of industrial and commercial environments.
• Snap‑in Mounting & Package: Snap-in terminal, radial can package (φ25 × 50 mm), supplied in tray packing for assembly efficiency.
• Polarized Electrolytic: Polar configuration for DC bulk and smoothing applications; capacitance tolerance ±20% at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Environmental Compliance: Compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Systems — Provides high bulk capacitance for low-voltage rails where sustained ripple current and long endurance at 105°C are required.
• Power Supply Reservoirs — Suited for smoothing and energy storage on DC power supplies that demand large capacitance at 16 V.
• Industrial Electronics — Useful in industrial power modules and equipment that operate across −40°C to +105°C and require long-term ripple endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Long-Life Endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current reduces the need for frequent replacement in hot-running power designs.
• High Bulk Capacitance in a Compact Can: 27,000 µF in a φ25×50 mm package enables significant energy storage while conserving board space.
• High Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies support applications with diverse AC ripple profiles.
• Clear Electrical Limits: Specified tanδ, leakage current, and ±20% tolerance provide designers with direct, verifiable parameters for margin and reliability calculations.
• Production-Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass-production status simplify sourcing and integration into assembly workflows.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports regulatory and environmental requirements for commercial and industrial applications.
