LGU1J562MELC

The LGU1J562MELC is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series, offering a nominal capacitance of 5.6 mF (5600 µF) at a rated voltage of 63 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C). Designed for general-purpose power circuits, it delivers high-capacitance bulk storage in a compact radial can with snap-in mounting.

Key value comes from its combination of high ripple-current capability, extended high-temperature endurance, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for assemblies and power modules that require stable performance up to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 mF (5600 µF) nominal capacitance rated at 63 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-temperature Endurance — Rated operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C with 3000 hours lifetime at 105°C under rated ripple conditions as specified in the LGU series.
• Ripple Current & Loss — Low-frequency ripple current 3.24 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 3.726 A (50 kHz); tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max 0.25 at 120 Hz, 20°C for 63 V units.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1780 µA (after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C as indicated in series data).
• Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminal type in a radial can package, dimensions φ35 × 35 mm (length), supplied in tray packing for mass production handling.
• Regulatory & Marking — RoHS compliant; capacitors are marked with white lettering on a black sleeve per datasheet guidance.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuits — Intended for general-purpose use where 5.6 mF at 63 V bulk capacitance and snap-in mounting are required.
• Power supply modules — Designed for assemblies that require sustained ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperatures (3000 h at 105°C).
• Bulk capacitance in assemblies — φ35 × 35 mm radial can and snap-in terminals facilitate integration into production builds and tray-packed workflows.

Unique Advantages

• High nominal capacitance: 5.6 mF (5600 µF) provides substantial stored energy for general-purpose power applications within a φ35 × 35 mm package.
• Durable at elevated temperatures: 3000 hours rated life at 105°C supports designs exposed to sustained high-temperature operation.
• Robust ripple handling: 3.24 A at 120 Hz and 3.726 A at 50 kHz help maintain performance under significant AC stress.
• Production-ready packaging: Snap-in terminals and tray packing simplify automated assembly and secure mounting in power assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance and standardized sleeve marking align with contemporary manufacturing and traceability requirements.
