LGU2D821MELC

The LGU2D821MELC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series, designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It delivers 820 µF capacitance at a 200 V rating with snap‑in mounting for robust chassis or PCB support and a compact φ35 × 25 mm can.

Engineered for extended operation at elevated temperatures, this part offers high ripple handling and a 3,000‑hour endurance at 105°C, making it suitable where sustained performance under thermal stress and continuous ripple currents are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 820 µF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% capacitance tolerance.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with an endurance of 3,000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Supports 2.04 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.06 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling reliable performance in high‑ripple environments.
• Loss Characteristics — Low dissipation factor with tanδ = 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for improved thermal and electrical stability.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,210 µA after rated voltage application.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ35 × 25L) for secure mechanical mounting; supplied in tray packing for efficient handling.
• Compliance & Availability — RoHS compliant and in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in general‑purpose electronic equipment where a 200 V, 820 µF capacitor is required.
• High‑ripple power circuits — Suited to circuits with continuous ripple stress thanks to rated ripple current specs and 3,000‑hour endurance at 105°C.
• Bulk energy storage — Acts as a local energy reservoir in general‑purpose designs requiring significant capacitance at elevated voltages.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature life — 3,000 hours at 105°C ensures predictable aging and performance in thermally demanding environments.
• High ripple handling — Clear low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (2.04 A at 120 Hz, 3.06 A at 50 kHz) let designers size capacitors for real ripple environments.
• Robust mechanical mounting — Snap‑in radial can provides secure anchoring for chassis or board installations.
• Measurable electrical stability — Low tanδ (0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz) contributes to stable loss behavior under operating conditions.
• Production‑ready — RoHS compliance and mass‑production status simplify procurement and regulatory alignment.
