LGU1J682MELC

The LGU1J682MELC from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGU series, rated 63 V with 6.8 mF (6800 µF) capacitance. It combines high ripple current capability and a 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C for reliable bulk energy storage and smoothing in general‑purpose applications.

Designed as a radial, can‑style snap‑in package (φ35 × 40 mm) with tray packing for mass production, this RoHS‑compliant component delivers measurable electrical performance for engineers specifying durable electrolytic capacitors.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6.8 mF (6800 µF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 63 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal type in a radial, can snap‑in package; physical size φ35 × 40 mm (D × L) suitable for secure board installation.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C with a specified lifetime/endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current conditions.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current: 3.71 A at 120 Hz; high‑frequency ripple current: 4.266 A at 50 kHz, supporting demanding AC loading conditions.
• Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max 0.25 (63 V, measured at 120 Hz, 20°C); part‑level leakage current listed as 1960 µA. Datasheet leakage specification follows the I ≤ 3 C V (µA) rule after initial application of rated voltage.
• Regulatory & Production — Compliant with RoHS; supplied in tray packing for mass production environments.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — Intended for general‑purpose electronic designs requiring 6.8 mF at 63 V, with robust ripple current handling and long endurance at elevated temperature.
• Production‑Ready Assembly — Snap‑in mounting and tray packing support repeatable installation and high‑volume manufacturing workflows.
• High‑Temperature Environments — Rated for continuous operation up to 105°C with a 3000‑hour endurance specification at that temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: Explicit low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (3.71 A @120 Hz and 4.266 A @50 kHz) reduce thermal stress and support demanding AC conditions.
• Proven 105°C endurance: Specified to withstand 3000 hours at 105°C with rated ripple current, enabling predictable life‑cycle planning under elevated temperature operation.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in terminals provide stable mechanical retention for through‑hole PCB assemblies.
• Measured electrical characteristics: Defined tan δ (0.25 max at 63 V) and a documented leakage current (1960 µA) let engineers size the part with clear loss and leakage expectations.
• Production friendly: Tray packing and mass‑production availability simplify procurement and assembly for volume builds.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.
