LGU1E103MELB

The LGU1E103MELB is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series, offering 10,000 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a compact φ30 × 30 mm can. Designed for general purpose electronic equipment, it combines high capacitance, specified ripple handling and extended endurance for demanding power applications.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance  10,000 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 25 V; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.40 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Ripple Current Capability  Low-frequency ripple current of 2.610 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 3.002 A at 50 kHz, suitable for applications requiring sustained ripple handling.
• Leakage Current  Specified leakage current of 1,500 µA (after standard voltage application at 20°C), enabling predictable bias behavior in circuits.
• Reliability & Endurance  Rated for 3,000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after endurance testing.
• Temperature Range  Operating temperature from −40°C to +105°C for use across typical general-purpose environmental conditions.
• Mechanical & Mounting  Snap-in radial can package (φ30 × 30 mm) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant as indicated in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose  Specified for general purpose electronic equipment where high bulk capacitance, ripple handling and long endurance are required.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance in a compact can  10,000 µF in a φ30 × 30 mm package provides substantial energy storage where board space is constrained.
• Defined ripple performance  Published low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (2.610 A at 120 Hz; 3.002 A at 50 kHz) give designers clear limits for thermal and life calculations.
• Long high-temperature endurance  Rated 3,000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus ripple current, supporting robust lifetime planning in heated operating environments.
• Wide operating temperature  −40°C to +105°C operating range covers a broad set of general-purpose environments without additional qualification data.
• Snap-in mounting for secure assembly  Radial snap-in terminals and tray packing facilitate reliable mechanical retention and handling during production.
• RoHS compliant  Conforms to RoHS requirements for regulatory and procurement needs.
