LGU1V822MELA

The LGU1V822MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series, featuring a snap-in terminal (radial, can - snap-in) construction with a capacitance of 8.2 mF (8200 µF) and a rated voltage of 35 V. The part is supplied in tray packing and is listed as mass production and RoHS compliant.

Key electrical and reliability characteristics include a temperature range of −40°C to +105°C, a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C, low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (2.73 A at 120 Hz and 3.1395 A at 50 kHz), a leakage current of 1600 µA, and a specified tanδ of 0.35 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz. The capacitor is sized φ25 × 40L (L: 4 × D: 2.5 cm) for snap-in mounting.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 8.2 mF (8200 µF) capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% capacitance tolerance at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 2.73 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 3.1395 A at 50 kHz, allowing the part to handle sustained AC ripple within its rated conditions.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Designed to meet endurance requirements after 3000 hours of D.C. bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C (characteristics restored to 20°C for test).
• Electrical Losses — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified at 0.35 when measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Initial leakage current specified at 1600 µA (after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C).
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in terminal (radial can) package, physical size φ25 × 40L (L: 4 × D: 2.5 cm), supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Rated for −40°C to +105°C operation and compliant to RoHS (per product data).

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — Product data lists "General Purpose" as the intended application area for this capacitor.
• Designs requiring sustained ripple performance — The published ripple current ratings and 3000 h endurance at 105°C support use where sustained ripple current is a key specification.
• Production assembly environments — Snap-in radial can construction and tray packing is suited for board-level mounting and automated handling in volume production.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance: 8.2 mF provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and bulk decoupling within the part’s rated voltage.
• Measured ripple-current ratings: Specified 2.73 A (120 Hz) and 3.1395 A (50 kHz) ripple currents give designers concrete limits for ripple-handling capabilities.
• Proven thermal endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, enabling predictable life performance under high-temperature stress.
• Clear electrical characterization: Specified tanδ (0.35 at 20°C, 120 Hz), leakage current (1600 µA), and ±20% tolerance allow accurate modeling in designs.
• Production-ready packaging: Tray packing and snap-in terminals support efficient assembly and mechanical retention on PCBs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status is listed as compliant in the product data.
