LGU1C822MELZ

The LGU1C822MELZ is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series, rated at 8.2 mF and 16 V in a radial, snap-in can. It provides a compact, snap-in mounting solution for general-purpose power applications that require operation across a wide temperature range.

Key value points include a –40 °C to 105 °C operating range, RoHS compliance, and proven endurance—capable of withstanding 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C—making it suitable where sustained thermal and ripple performance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated capacitance of 8.2 mF and rated voltage of 16 V with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating temperature range of –40 °C to 105 °C; endurance validated for 3000 hours under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current at 105 °C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2 A at 120 Hz and 2.3 A at 50 kHz to support filtering and smoothing under AC ripple conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can package for secure chassis or PCB mounting; compact physical size L: 3 × D: 2.2 cm.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polar capacitor construction for bulk filtering and energy storage in DC circuits.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on DC power rails where a polarized, high-capacitance snap-in capacitor is required.
• Industrial control equipment — Use in controllers and power modules that operate across a wide temperature range and require sustained ripple endurance.
• Power conversion and regulation — Support for DC–DC converters and linear regulators where ripple handling and thermal stability are important.

Unique Advantages

• Sustained high-temperature endurance — Demonstrated ability to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C, supporting long-term operation in hot environments.
• Measurable ripple performance — Specified ripple current values (2 A at 120 Hz, 2.3 A at 50 kHz) let designers account for AC stress in filtering and power stages.
• Secure snap-in mounting — Radial snap-in terminal provides a robust mechanical connection suited to higher-current assemblies.
• Compact footprint — Small L × D package (3 × 2.2 cm) allows high capacitance to be integrated into constrained spaces.
• RoHS compliance — Meets current RoHS directives for restricted substances, useful for regulatory and assembly requirements.
