LGU1E822MELA

The LGU1E822MELA from Nichicon is a snap‑in, radial can aluminum electrolytic capacitor from the LGU series designed for general‑purpose applications. It delivers 8,200 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V in a compact φ25 × 30 mm package and is supplied in tray packing for board‑level assembly.

Built for durability, this part is specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C, with an endurance rating of 3,000 hours at 105°C and defined ripple current capabilities for both low and high frequency operation.

Key Features

• Core Electrical — 8,200 µF capacitance at 25 V with a tolerance of −20% to +20% and a tanδ (DF) of 0.4 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 2,340 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 2,691 mA at 50 kHz, enabling stable performance across a range of ripple conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,350 µA (after rated voltage application at 20°C), suitable for power‑management designs that require defined leakage behavior.
• Reliability & Endurance — Endurance rating of 3,000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated ripple and DC bias; meets the LGU series endurance specifications for capacitance, tanδ, and leakage after life test.
• Temperature Range — Wide operating range from −40°C to +105°C for reliable performance across diverse thermal environments.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in, radial can (snap‑in terminal) package, φ25 × 30 mm size for board‑level bulk capacitance with tray packing.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant; produced and available in mass production status.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — For general‑purpose capacitor needs where 8,200 µF at 25 V is required along with snap‑in mounting and high‑temperature endurance.
• Power Supply Bulk Capacitance — Suited where defined ripple current handling and bulk energy storage are necessary for smoothing and load transients at 25 V system rails.
• Industrial Electronics — Applicable in designs requiring components rated to 105°C and long endurance (3,000 hours) under rated ripple and bias conditions.

Unique Advantages

• High endurance at elevated temperature: 3,000 hours rated life at 105°C ensures long‑term stability in high‑temperature applications.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple current values for both 120 Hz and 50 kHz (2.34 A and 2.691 A respectively) support designs with mixed frequency stress.
• Large capacitance in compact can: 8,200 µF in a φ25 × 30 mm snap‑in package offers high bulk capacitance while conserving board space.
• Defined electrical characteristics: Clear specifications for tanδ, leakage current, and capacitance tolerance support predictable performance and easier qualification.
• RoHS compliant and production ready: Mass production status and RoHS compliance simplify procurement and environmental conformity.
