LGU1V822MELB

The LGU1V822MELB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial, snap-in can designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 8.2 mF capacitance at a 35 V rating with polarized terminals and snap-in mounting for board-level power assemblies.

Engineered for elevated-temperature operation, this part is specified for −40 °C to 105 °C and is endurance-rated to withstand 3,000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C. It is RoHS compliant for regulated environments.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 8.2 mF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 35 V rated voltage provides substantial bulk capacitance for power filtering and decoupling in general-purpose designs.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Endurance tested for 3,000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current, meeting the endurance criteria stated in the datasheet.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.75 A at 120 Hz and 3.163 A at 50 kHz, enabling robust performance under AC ripple stress at typical power frequencies and higher switching frequencies.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40 °C to 105 °C, supporting a wide range of environmental conditions specified for the part.
• Package and Mounting — Radial, snap-in can package designed for snap-in mounting on PC boards; package dimensions L: 3 × D: 3 cm and a seated height maximum of 1.181 inches are provided for PCB mechanical planning.
• Polarized Design — Polar capacitor suitable for DC bias applications that require bulk energy storage and filtering.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supplies — Bulk filtering and energy storage in general-purpose power supplies where 8.2 mF at 35 V and sustained ripple endurance at 105 °C are needed.
• Industrial control — Board-level power decoupling and smoothing in general industrial electronics that require polarized, high-capacitance snap-in components.
• Power conversion — Support for DC bus smoothing and ripple management in converters and regulators operating within the stated voltage and temperature limits.

Unique Advantages

• Documented high-temperature reliability — 3,000-hour endurance at 105 °C under rated ripple current provides a verifiable reliability baseline for elevated-temperature deployments.
• Measured ripple capability — Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance across common power and switching frequencies.
• Snap-in radial can for secure mounting — Snap-in terminals simplify board insertion and retention for through-hole assemblies requiring robust mechanical fixation.
• Wide operating temperature window — −40 °C to 105 °C operation supports designs that span cold-start to high-temperature environments covered by the part specification.
• RoHS compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements for regulated markets and assembly processes.
