LAK2D102MELB50

The LAK2D102MELB50 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a rated capacitance of 1000 µF (1 mF) at 200 V. It is designed for general‑purpose power applications and systems exposed to fluctuating voltages.

Built for sustained operation in high temperature environments, this part offers endurance at 105°C and enhanced safety features for abnormal overvoltage conditions, providing a reliable bulk energy storage and filtering solution for industrial and power‑electronics designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 200 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• High‑temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C and specified to withstand 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting for secure board retention and high current handling in a radial, can‑style package (Size: L: 5 × D: 3 cm).
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current of 2.1 A at 120 Hz and 2.52 A at 10 kHz for effective filtering of low‑ and higher‑frequency ripple components.
• Safety Features — Series includes improved safety measures for abnormally excessive voltage and a pressure relief vent designed to operate without creating dangerous conditions.
• Leakage and Dissipation Limits — Leakage current follows the series formula I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ ≤ 0.20 (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in power supplies and converter stages that require high capacitance at elevated voltage.
• Equipment in voltage‑fluctuating areas — Suited to systems subject to varying supply conditions, leveraging the series’ enhanced overvoltage safety features.
• High‑temperature environments — Capacitor operation and endurance specified up to 105°C with verified 2000‑hour ripple endurance for sustained thermal stress.

Unique Advantages

• Endurance at elevated temperature: Specified to withstand 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, supporting longevity in hot operating conditions.
• Designed for fluctuating voltages: Improved safety measures and series tests for abnormal voltages reduce the risk of dangerous failure modes in unstable supplies.
• High capacitance in snap‑in form factor: 1000 µF in a snap‑in radial can provides compact bulk capacitance with robust board anchoring for high‑current applications.
• Measurable ripple performance: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow engineering tradeoffs for both low‑ and high‑frequency filtering designs.
• Compliance and predictability: RoHS compliant and specified leakage/tan δ limits enable predictable electrical behavior and regulatory alignment.
