LGU1V562MELA

The LGU1V562MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series featuring a snap-in terminal radial can and polarized construction. It delivers 5.6 mF (5600 µF) capacitance at a 35 V rating with a designed operating range down to −40 °C and up to 105 °C.

Engineered for general-purpose power applications, this part offers long-duration endurance withstanding rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105 °C and is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 mF (5600 µF) rated at 35 V, providing substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in general-purpose designs.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated to operate to 105 °C with a guaranteed life of 3000 hours at 105 °C when subjected to rated ripple current, supporting reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Snap-In Radial Can — Snap-in terminal package for secure mounting on power PCBs where robust mechanical retention and straightforward insertion are required.
• Polarized Construction — Designed for DC applications that require a polarized electrolytic solution.
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple current of 2.04 A at 120 Hz and 2.346 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficients for 16–100 V parts (including 35 V) are provided in the series datasheet (e.g., 120 Hz = 1.00, 50 kHz = 1.15).
• Temperature and Tolerance — Operating range −40 °C to 105 °C with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Compliance — RoHS compliant per 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863.
• Compact Footprint — Physical dimensions L: 3.0 cm × D: 2.5 cm with a seated height specification, enabling substantial capacitance in a compact snap-in can.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power supplies — Bulk smoothing and filtering on DC rails where polarized electrolytic capacitance is required and ripple-current endurance is important.
• Industrial power modules — Energy storage and ripple handling in general-purpose industrial equipment that operates up to 105 °C.
• Consumer and commercial electronics — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in non-automotive, general-purpose electronic systems.

Unique Advantages

• Long-duration ripple endurance: Specified to withstand rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105 °C, supporting designs that demand sustained high-temperature performance.
• Measured ripple current data: Rated ripple current values provided at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz, allowing designers to assess performance across typical switching and mains frequencies.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Snap-in radial can provides robust mechanical retention on power PCBs, simplifying assembly for higher-current and vibration-prone assemblies.
• Compact high-capacitance option: 5600 µF in a 3.0 × 2.5 cm can delivers significant bulk capacitance where board space is limited.
• High-temperature rated: Rated to −40 °C to 105 °C, suitable for applications requiring extended temperature range operation at the specified voltage class.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmentally regulated designs.
