LGU1V123MELA

The LGU1V123MELA is a Nichicon LGU series snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 12,000 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating. It is a radial, can‑style snap‑in component designed for general‑purpose electronics where high capacitance, elevated temperature endurance, and secure board mounting are required.

Key value propositions include high bulk capacitance, rated operation to 105°C with a defined 3000‑hour endurance under rated ripple conditions, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for production designs that demand reliable energy storage and ripple handling.

Key Features

• High Capacitance & Voltage: 12,000 µF nominal capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Temperature Range & Endurance: Rated for −40°C to 105°C with a guaranteed endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low‑frequency ripple current 3.37 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 3.876 A at 50 kHz, supporting sustained AC stress under operating conditions.
• Loss and Leakage: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.35 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and measured leakage current of 1,940 µA.
• Robust Mounting & Packaging: Snap‑in mounting in a radial can package for secure board installation; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Size: Compact footprint with dimensions φ25 × 50 mm (L: 5.0 cm × D: 2.5 cm) for high capacitance in a small can.
• Compliance & Availability: RoHS‑compliant and in mass production.
• Polarized Construction: Designed as a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for DC applications.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronics: Intended for circuits that require large bulk capacitance and rated performance across −40°C to 105°C.
• Power supply filtering: Useful where sustained ripple handling and capacitance stability over time are required, backed by a 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C.
• Production deployments: Tray packing and mass production status support high‑volume manufacturing and repeatable assembly.

Unique Advantages

• High energy storage in compact can: 12,000 µF in a φ25 × 50 mm package provides substantial capacitance without a large board footprint.
• Defined high‑temperature endurance: Withstanding 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions offers predictable lifetime performance in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Strong ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (50 kHz) frequencies help manage AC stress in power circuits.
• Manufacturing ready: Tray packing and mass production availability simplify procurement and assembly for production programs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
• Clear electrical characterization: Specified tan δ and leakage values allow engineers to assess dissipation and DC leakage for design margining.
