LAK2G820MELA25

The LAK2G820MELA25 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LAK series, specified at 82 µF and 400 V. It delivers a high-voltage, polarized solution for general-purpose electronic equipment and designs that require robust endurance and safety under elevated temperatures.

Designed for mass production and tray packing, this radial can snap-in component is targeted at applications operating in voltage-fluctuating environments and where long-term high-temperature operation is required, offering 2000 hours endurance at 105°C and built-in safety measures for abnormal voltage conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated at 82 µF and 400 V for high-voltage, polarized applications.
• Endurance & Temperature — Specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C; operational temperature range −25°C to +105°C.
• Safety for Abnormal Voltage — Series-level design includes improved safety features and a pressure relief vent to mitigate dangerous conditions under abnormal voltage stress.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple handling of 500 mA at 120 Hz and 575 mA at 10 kHz to support AC ripple absorption across a range of frequencies.
• Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can package (φ25 × 25 mm) intended for secure board mounting and automated assembly with tray packing.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified per series (I ≤ 3√CV μA after 5 minutes at 20°C) and tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Tolerance & Polarization — ±20% capacitance tolerance; polarized device for DC applications.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment — Use where a polarized, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is needed in bulk filtering, smoothing or DC link applications within general-purpose designs.
• Voltage-fluctuating environments — Suited to equipment exposed to variable supply conditions thanks to extended voltage range options and enhanced safety features for abnormal voltage.
• High-temperature operation — Appropriate for assemblies demanding sustained performance at elevated temperatures, supported by a 2000-hour rating at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 400 V rating provides headroom for higher DC link and power applications where elevated voltage handling is required.
• Long high-temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C delivers predictable endurance for designs that operate continuously at elevated temperatures.
• Built-in safety measures: Improved safety design and a pressure relief vent reduce the risk of hazardous failure modes under abnormal voltage events.
• Broad ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support performance across low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Assembly-friendly package: Snap-in radial can in tray packing simplifies insertion and handling for high-volume production.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regions and products requiring restricted substance adherence.
