LGU1E123MELA

The LGU1E123MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor delivering 12,000 µF at a 25 V rating with ±20% tolerance. It is engineered as a high‑capacitance, general‑purpose component for electronic equipment requiring bulk energy storage, filtering and high ripple endurance.

Designed for elevated‑temperature operation, this radial can (snap‑in) capacitor supports continuous operation from −40°C to 105°C and a 3,000‑hour rated endurance at 105°C, offering a balance of capacitance, ripple handling and long‑term reliability for general‑purpose power applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 12,000 µF nominal capacitance at a 25 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Snap‑in Mounting — Radial, can‑style snap‑in terminals for secure chassis or PCB mounting and robust mechanical retention.
• High Ripple Capability — Rated ripple current of 2,810 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3,231.5 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support demanding ripple environments.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.4 max at 20°C/120 Hz for the 25 V rating, providing predictable dissipation behavior.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,640 µA after standard voltage application, facilitating reliable design margining.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Endurance rating of 3,000 hours at 105°C with specified limits on capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current after test.
• Temperature Range — Operating temperature range from −40°C to 105°C for broad environmental compatibility.
• Compact Footprint — Size φ25 × 40 mm (D × L) suitable where a dense bulk capacitor solution is required.
• Compliance & Supply — RoHS‑compliant and offered in tray packing for production handling; mass production status supports volume availability.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing for general‑purpose power supplies and power rails requiring 12,000 µF at 25 V.
• Bulk energy storage — Suited for designs that need compact bulk capacitance with high ripple handling and 105°C endurance.
• High‑temperature electronics — Applicable where operation up to 105°C and long endurance (3,000 hours) are required for stability over time.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance at low voltage — 12,000 µF at 25 V reduces the number of capacitors needed for large charge storage tasks.
• Strong ripple performance — Defined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings allow predictable thermal and lifetime behavior under varying ripple conditions.
• Long life at elevated temperature — 3,000‑hour endurance at 105°C supports longevity in sustained high‑temperature applications.
• Secure snap‑in mounting — Radial snap‑in terminals provide stable mechanical retention for chassis or PCB installations.
• Production ready — Tray packing and mass production status simplify procurement and volume assembly planning.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for many markets.
