LGU1K332MELC

The LGU1K332MELC is a Nichicon LGU‑series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 80 V with a capacitance of 3300 µF (3.3 mF). Designed as a 105°C standard snap‑in can, it delivers long endurance and measurable ripple handling for general‑purpose power applications.

This part combines high capacitance, snap‑in mounting, and a compact φ35 × 30 mm can size with tray packing for production environments. Key values include a 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C, defined loss characteristics (tan δ = 0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz), and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 3300 µF (3.3 mF) with tolerance −20% to +20%, providing specified bulk capacitance for general‑purpose designs.
• Rated Voltage — 80 V nominal working voltage suited to moderate‑voltage power applications.
• Thermal Endurance — Qualified for operation from −40°C to +105°C with a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 2.71 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 3.1165 A (specified at high frequency), enabling predictable performance under AC stress.
• Loss & Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) = 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 1540 µA for defined leakage behavior.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal radial can (φ35 × 30L) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for automated handling and production.
• Compliance & Availability — RoHS‑compliant and listed as mass production status by the manufacturer (Nichicon, LGU series).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power electronics — Provides bulk capacitance in general‑purpose circuits where 3.3 mF at 80 V and 105°C endurance are required.
• Filtering and smoothing — Ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and high frequency support predictable filtering and smoothing roles in power circuits.
• Industrial equipment — Specified 3000‑hour life at 105°C and RoHS compliance suit production designs that require defined high‑temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance in a compact can — 3300 µF in a φ35 × 30 mm package provides substantial energy storage without excessive board area.
• Temperature‑rated endurance — 3000 hours at 105°C gives a defined lifetime metric for thermal stress planning and reliability assessments.
• Defined ripple handling — Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and high frequency allow designers to size capacitors against expected AC stress.
• Clear loss and leakage specifications — Tangent of loss angle and leakage current values enable engineering tradeoffs based on measured electrical behavior.
• Manufacturing‑friendly packaging — Snap‑in radial can with tray packing aids insertion and handling in production environments.
