LGU1C682MELZ

The LGU1C682MELZ is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose electronic equipment. It delivers 6.8 mF (6800 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ22 × 25L radial can.

Engineered for elevated-temperature operation, this 105°C standard device provides sustained ripple-current handling and long-term endurance, making it suited to power filtering and energy-storage roles where reliability and thermal tolerance matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 6.8 mF (6800 µF) at 16 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-Temperature Operation & Endurance — Rated for −40°C to +105°C operation with a guaranteed lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Ripple Current Capacity — Handles 1.75 A at 120 Hz (low-frequency) and 2.0125 A at 50 kHz (high-frequency), supporting robust power-conditioning tasks.
• Low Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified at 980 µA and a tan δ (DF) of 0.5 at 120 Hz, aiding predictable performance in DC-link and filtering applications.
• Snap-in Package — Radial, snap-in can for secure chassis or PCB mounting; physical size φ22 × 25L (L: 2.5 × D: 2.2 cm) and supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Polarized & RoHS Compliant — Polarized electrolytic construction; compliant with RoHS requirements and offered in mass-production status.

Typical Applications

• Power filtering and smoothing — Bulk capacitance for smoothing DC rails and reducing ripple in power supplies and converters.
• Energy storage — Local energy reservoir for transient load support and decoupling in electronic systems operating up to 105°C.
• Industrial electronics — General-purpose use in control modules and assemblies requiring sustained ripple handling and high-temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C ensures sustained performance under continuous elevated-temperature stress.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies support robust power-conditioning designs and reduce the need for parallel components.
• Predictable leakage and dissipation: Specified leakage current (980 µA) and tan δ value support reliable selection and thermal design.
• Compact, secure mounting: Snap-in radial can and tray packing simplify assembly and handling for volume production.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance helps meet environmental requirements for commercial and industrial products.
• Production-ready availability: Mass production status supports consistent supply for volume designs.
