Overview of LAK2G101MELC20ZB – Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 400 V, 100 µF
The LAK2G101MELC20ZB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can package designed for general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 100 µF at a 400 V rating with polarization and is constructed for high‑temperature endurance and enhanced safety under abnormal voltage conditions.
Engineered for equipment exposed to fluctuating line voltages, this part combines extended voltage capability, elevated temperature tolerance, and robust ripple handling to support reliable operation in demanding power circuits.
Key Features
- Snap‑in Terminal Package Radial, can‑type snap‑in mounting simplifies installation and secures the capacitor in high‑vibration or high‑current assemblies.
- Rated Performance 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 400 V rated voltage for higher‑voltage power systems.
- High‑Temperature Endurance Rated for operation from −25 °C to +105 °C with endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current.
- Ripple Current Capability Specified ripple handling of 550 mA at 120 Hz and 632.5 mA at 10 kHz supports effective ripple smoothing in power rails.
- Improved Safety Design Series safety features include a pressure relief vent that operates under abnormal conditions to limit hazardous outcomes.
- RoHS Compliant Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting environmental compliance requirements.
- Compact Can Dimensions Package dimensions approximately L: 2 cm × D: 3.5 cm for space‑efficient board layouts.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Power Supplies Bulk smoothing and ripple filtering in higher‑voltage power supplies where 400 V rating and elevated temperature endurance are needed.
- Equipment in Fluctuating‑Voltage Environments Systems subject to line transients or voltage variation benefit from the part’s improved safety features and extended voltage capability.
- General‑Purpose Power Circuits Suitable for general power electronics requiring polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with high ripple current capacity and long endurance.
Unique Advantages
- High‑Voltage Capability: The 400 V rating extends design headroom for higher‑voltage power rails and power conversion stages.
- Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Specified for 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current, supporting sustained performance in hot operating environments.
- Robust Ripple Handling: Explicit ripple current ratings at both low and high frequency enable designers to size capacitors based on measured ripple conditions.
- Safety‑Oriented Construction: The series’ pressure relief vent and improved safety features reduce the risk associated with abnormal overvoltage events.
- RoHS Compliance: Meets environmental regulations, simplifying material‑compliance tracking for production programs.
- Ease of Mounting: Snap‑in terminals provide secure mechanical retention for power applications and simplify assembly.
