LGY1E123MELB30

The LGY1E123MELB30 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGY long‑life assurance series. It delivers 12 mF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a radial, can-style snap‑in package designed for robust board mounting.

Engineered for industrial power applications, this capacitor is suited for industrial power supplies and ballast applications where sustained performance and component longevity at elevated temperatures are required. It is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 12 mF nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage and a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Long‑life Endurance — Designed to withstand 5000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±25% and leakage current not to exceed the initial specified value after the test.
• Temperature Range — Operational across −40°C to 105°C for use in demanding industrial environments.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.6 A at 120 Hz and 2.99 A at 50 kHz, supporting high‑stress filtering and smoothing tasks.
• Snap‑in Terminal & Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in mounting for secure mechanical retention and straightforward assembly into power modules and chassis.
• Polarized Design — Polarized construction for DC filtering and energy‑storage roles in power applications.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing in power supply rails where long life at elevated temperatures is critical.
• Ballasts — Energy storage and ripple suppression in ballast circuits as specified for the LGY series.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — DC link and smoothing duties in industrial equipment and control systems labeled as general purpose in the product specification.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high‑temperature life: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable lifetime performance for industrial applications.
