LGU1J182MELA

The LGU1J182MELA is a Nichicon LGU series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal configuration. It delivers 1.8 mF of capacitance at a 63 V rating in a compact φ25 × 25 mm can designed for general‑purpose applications.

Engineered for sustained operation to 105°C, the part combines high ripple handling and a long endurance specification to support designs that require robust bulk capacitance and stable performance over time.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage suitable for medium‑voltage general‑purpose designs.
• Capacitance Tolerance & Loss — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz and 20°C; tanδ specified and measured at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable AC loss behavior.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.52 A at 120 Hz and 1.748 A at 50 kHz to accommodate significant AC stress in filtering and smoothing tasks.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, meeting the LGU series endurance criteria.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Operational range from −40°C to 105°C for stable performance across thermal environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1010 µA, allowing designers to plan for standby and quiescent current budgets.
• Snap‑in Mounting & Package — Radial, can snap‑in package for secure board retention and straightforward assembly in power modules or bulk capacitor banks.
• Compact Size — Body dimensions φ25 × 25 mm (L: 2.5 × D: 2.5 cm) for high capacitance in a small footprint.
• RoHS Compliant & Production Ready — RoHS compliance and mass production status for consistent supply and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronics — Suitable where a high‑value snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for general‑purpose designs operating up to 105°C.
• Power supply filtering and smoothing — 1.8 mF capacitance and rated ripple current values support energy storage and ripple attenuation in power modules and PSUs.
• Industrial and commercial equipment (general‑purpose) — Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C makes the part appropriate for designs that demand long life under continuous thermal and electrical stress.

Unique Advantages

• High AC stress tolerance: Measured ripple current specs at both low and high frequency (1.52 A @ 120 Hz, 1.748 A @ 50 kHz) enable confident use in applications with significant ripple content.
• Proven endurance at 105°C: Rated for 3000 hours of operation under rated ripple current at 105°C, providing predictable life characteristics for thermal‑challenged assemblies.
• Space‑efficient bulk capacitance: 1.8 mF in a φ25 × 25 mm package delivers substantial energy storage without a large board area penalty.
• Snap‑in mechanical stability: Snap‑in terminals offer robust retention for high‑vibration or dense assembly environments.
• Designable leakage and loss characteristics: Specified leakage current and tanδ measurement conditions support accurate power and thermal budgeting in system designs.
• Regulatory and supply readiness: RoHS compliance and mass production status simplify procurement and regulatory tracking.
