LGU1H562MELA

The LGU1H562MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series, rated 50 V with a nominal capacitance of 5600 µF (5.6 mF). It is a radial, can-style, snap‑in device designed for general‑purpose power applications that require bulk capacitance, high ripple handling and extended endurance at elevated temperatures.

Key value propositions include a 3000‑hour endurance at 105 °C under rated ripple conditions, measurable low-frequency and high-frequency ripple current capability, and RoHS compliance—offering a practical balance of capacitance, voltage rating and reliability in a compact φ25 × 40 mm package with tray packing for production handling.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5600 µF (5.6 mF) at a 50 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, providing substantial bulk energy storage for DC link and smoothing applications.
• High Temperature Endurance — Specified for 3000 hours at 105 °C with rated ripple applied, ensuring stable performance under prolonged elevated‑temperature operation.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current of 2.81 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 3.232 A at 50 kHz, supporting both mains‑frequency and higher‑frequency power circuits.
• Loss and Leakage — Loss tangent (tan δ) 0.30 max at 20 °C and 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 1580 µA, allowing designers to predict heat dissipation and standby characteristics.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 40 mm) for secure PCB mounting in production environments; supplied in tray packing and available for mass production.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Wide operating temperature range from −40 °C to +105 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk capacitance and specified ripple current make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and decoupling in power supply circuits.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Endurance at 105 °C and robust ripple handling support sustained operation in industrial power modules and control equipment.
• High‑frequency Power Circuits — Measured high‑frequency ripple current rating supports use where switching frequencies require capacitors to handle significant ripple at kHz ranges.

Unique Advantages

• Long‑term thermal endurance: 3000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current reduces the need for frequent replacement in high‑temperature installations.
• Dual‑range ripple capability: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz give designers predictable performance across both low and high frequencies.
• High bulk capacitance in a compact can: 5600 µF in a φ25 × 40 mm package delivers significant energy storage while conserving board area.
• Production‑ready packaging: Tray packing and mass production status streamline procurement and assembly for volume builds.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in assemblies requiring restricted‑substance conformance.
• Predictable electrical losses: Specified tan δ (0.30 @ 20 °C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (1580 µA) help estimate dissipation and standby characteristics during design.
