LGU1J332MELA

The LGU1J332MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series designed for general‑purpose power applications. It provides 3300 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating in a compact φ25×35L can with snap‑in mounting and tray packing for board‑level assembly.

Engineered for elevated operating temperatures and sustained ripple handling, this part delivers specified performance up to 105°C with a 3000‑hour endurance specification, making it suitable for designs that need stable bulk capacitance and reliable ripple current performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 3300 µF (3.3 mF) rated at 63 V with ±20% tolerance at 20°C and 120 Hz, providing substantial bulk energy storage for DC rails.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 2.27 A at 120 Hz and 2.611 A at 50 kHz supports heavy AC ripple on DC link and power supply smoothing applications.
• Loss Characteristics: tanδ (DF) ≤ 0.25 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, enabling predictable impedance and dissipation behavior in circuit designs.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1360 µA (after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C), useful for budgeting standby losses in power systems.
• Temperature & Endurance: Operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C with a 3000‑hour endurance rating at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, supporting long‑term stability in elevated temperature environments.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, can snap‑in package (φ25×35L) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for production assembly.
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting environmental regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Supplies: Bulk filtering and smoothing on DC rails where 63 V rating and high capacitance are required for stable voltage delivery.
• Power Conversion Circuits: DC link and intermediate energy storage roles that benefit from the part’s high ripple current capability and 105°C endurance.
• Industrial Equipment: General‑purpose power electronics in industrial designs that need a robust electrolytic capacitor with snap‑in mounting and tray packing for assembly.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: 2.27 A (120 Hz) and 2.611 A (50 kHz) ratings reduce thermal stress from AC ripple and help maintain capacitance under heavy ripple loading.
• Elevated temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C provides measurable lifetime guidance for deployments in warm operating environments.
• Compact snap‑in package: φ25×35L can with snap‑in terminals simplifies board retention and mechanical stability in high‑vibration or high‑current assemblies.
• Predictable dissipation: Specified tanδ (0.25 at 20°C, 120 Hz) allows designers to estimate dielectric losses and thermal behavior accurately.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction supports environmentally regulated product lines and procurement requirements.
• Production‑ready packaging: Tray packing and mass production status facilitate volume procurement and consistent assembly workflows.
