LGU1V183MELC

The LGU1V183MELC from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGU series, offering 18,000 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating. It is engineered for general‑purpose applications that require high bulk capacitance, long endurance at elevated temperature, and robust ripple handling.

Designed for sustained operation across a wide temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and qualified for 3000 hours of endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current, this radial can, snap‑in device is supplied in tray packing and is in mass production.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 18,000 µF nominal capacitance at 35 V with ±20% tolerance, providing significant bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling.
• 105°C Endurance — Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, supporting long operational life in elevated‑temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package — φ35×40L compact radial, can‑style package with snap‑in terminals for secure chassis or board mounting; packaged in trays for production handling.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 4.37 A at 120 Hz and 5.026 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple absorption across low and high frequencies.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863) requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power systems — Bulk capacitance for smoothing and energy buffering where extended high‑temperature endurance and large capacitance are required.
• Industrial and commercial electronics — Reliable long‑life performance for equipment operated in elevated ambient temperatures up to 105°C.
• Power conversion and filtering — Handling of DC bias plus rated ripple current across a range of frequencies to stabilize DC rails.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial bulk capacitance: 18,000 µF at 35 V provides high stored charge for smoothing and transient support, reducing the need for multiple smaller capacitors.
• Long high‑temperature life: 3000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current supports extended maintenance intervals and predictable lifetime in demanding environments.
• Frequency‑capable ripple handling: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz demonstrate suitability for both low‑frequency and higher‑frequency ripple environments.
• Snap‑in mechanical stability: Radial, can‑style snap‑in terminals provide secure mounting for production assemblies and ease of installation in chassis or boards.
• Production ready: Tray packing and mass production status simplify procurement and assembly for volume builds.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial products.
