LAQ2D102MELC35

The LAQ2D102MELC35 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LAQ series, specified at 1000 µF and 200 V. It is intended for general-purpose electronic applications that require high-capacitance bulk storage in a snap-in radial can package.

Key performance attributes include high AC ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C, and a 2000-hour endurance rating at 105°C for reliable operation under elevated temperature and DC bias conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable where high-voltage bulk capacitance is required.
• High Ripple Current Handling: 2400 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2880 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) for effective smoothing under both mains-frequency and switching conditions.
• Endurance & Temperature Performance: Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range is -25°C to 105°C to support extended high-temperature use.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1340 µA, consistent with electrolytic capacitor behavior and the LAQ series characteristics.
• Package & Mounting: Snap-in radial can (φ35 × 35 mm body) for secure board mounting and mass-production tray packing.
• Safety Feature: Built-in pressure relief vent designed to operate under abnormal conditions to reduce dangerous failures.

Typical Applications

• Power supply bulk filtering: Provides high-capacitance energy storage and smoothing for general-purpose power supplies operating up to 200 V.
• Industrial power electronics: Suited for general-purpose industrial equipment that requires robust high-voltage capacitors with elevated temperature endurance.
• Switching regulator reservoirs: Handles significant ripple currents at both low and high frequencies, making it suitable as an energy reservoir in DC/DC and AC/DC conversion stages.

Unique Advantages

• High-capacitance, high-voltage combination: 1000 µF at 200 V provides significant bulk energy storage in a single component, reducing the need for multiple capacitors.
• Dual-frequency ripple performance: Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support both line-frequency smoothing and switching-frequency applications.
• Extended high-temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C gives predictable endurance for designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
• Snap-in radial format: A φ35 × 35 mm can with snap-in terminals enables straightforward mechanical retention and efficient PCB assembly for volume production.
• Built-in safety vent: Pressure relief vent reduces the risk of hazardous failures under abnormal conditions.
