LGU1E562MELZ

The LGU1E562MELZ is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series. It provides 5.6 mF (5600 µF) capacitance at a 25 V rating in a compact radial can with snap‑in mounting.

Designed for general‑purpose power applications, this capacitor delivers high ripple handling, extended endurance at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance for use in mass‑production assemblies supplied in tray packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 mF (5600 µF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V with ±20% tolerance.
• High Temperature Endurance — Specified for 3000 hours life at 105 °C when subjected to rated ripple and DC bias.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 1.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.07 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting demanding power filtering tasks.
• Low Leakage & Loss — Leakage current specified at 1.12 mA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.4 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40 °C to +105 °C, covering wide ambient conditions for industrial equipment.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can, 22 mm diameter × 30 mm length (approx.), supplied in tray packing for production assembly.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and output filtering in DC power supplies where high ripple current capability and low leakage are required.
• DC‑DC converters — Energy storage and decoupling in converter output stages benefiting from the 25 V rating and high ripple endurance.
• Industrial electronics — General‑purpose use in control and power modules that demand long life at elevated temperatures (3000 h at 105 °C).

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: 1.8 A at 120 Hz and 2.07 A at 50 kHz enable effective suppression of AC components in power rails.
• Long thermal life: 3000‑hour endurance at 105 °C provides predictable aging and reliability in high‑temperature environments.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: 22 mm diameter × 30 mm length in a snap‑in radial can saves board space while simplifying mechanical retention.
• Measured electrical stability: Controlled tan δ (0.4 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current (1.12 mA) support predictable performance during design validation.
• Production ready: Tray packing and mass production status streamline procurement and assembly for volume manufacturing.
• RoHS compliant: Meets directive requirements for lead‑free assembly and environmental compliance.
