LGU1E123MELB

The LGU1E123MELB is a Nichicon LGU series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal configuration. It provides 12,000 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V in a compact φ30 × 30 mm can.

Designed for general-purpose electronic equipment, this component offers high ripple-handling capability and long endurance at elevated temperature, making it suitable for applications that require substantial bulk capacitance and reliable long-term operation.

Key Features

• High Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 12,000 µF nominal capacitance at 25 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal type in a radial can (φ30 × 30 mm) for secure chassis or board mounting and straightforward installation.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Rated for −40°C to +105°C to support a wide range of operating environments.
• Extended Endurance — Specified to withstand 3,000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions for long-term durability.
• High Ripple Current Capacity — Low‑frequency ripple current 2.74 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 3.151 A (50 kHz) to support demanding power filtering and decoupling tasks.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — tanδ (DF) = 0.4 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current of 1,640 µA to aid in design margining for dissipation and standby drain.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C to set realistic performance expectations in circuit designs.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing; product is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage where 12,000 µF at 25 V and multi‑ampere ripple capability are required.
• Industrial Electronics — Filtering and decoupling in control equipment that operates across −40°C to +105°C and needs extended endurance.
• DC Link and Power Conditioning — Systems requiring sustained ripple handling and stable capacitance over long operating periods.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Bulk Capacitance: 12,000 µF provides large charge storage in a compact φ30 × 30 mm can, reducing the need for multiple smaller capacitors.
• Robust Ripple Performance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies support effective filtering across common switching and line frequencies.
• High‑Temperature Endurance: Rated for 3,000 hours at 105°C, helping to ensure long service life in thermally stressed installations.
• Practical Loss and Leakage Specs: tanδ = 0.4 and leakage current = 1,640 µA provide quantifiable parameters for thermal and standby power budgeting.
• Ready for Production: Tray packing and mass production status simplify procurement and volume deployment.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant to meet environmental restrictions in many markets.
