LAQ2G101MELZ30

The LAQ2G101MELZ30 is a Nichicon LAQ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal can. It offers 100 µF capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance and is specified for general‑purpose power applications.

Designed for rugged operation, this snap‑in capacitor combines high voltage capability with a compact φ22 × 30 mm package, extended endurance at elevated temperature, and measurable ripple handling to support power‑electronics and industrial designs requiring reliable DC energy storage and filtering.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 100 µF capacitance at 400 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for high‑voltage DC applications requiring bulk capacitance.
• Low Loss / Leakage — Specified tan δ of 0.20 max (120 Hz, 20°C) and leakage current listed at 600 µA, enabling predictable dissipation and low quiescent leakage for system design.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated for 660 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 759 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support applied AC ripple on DC bus environments.
• Thermal Range & Endurance — Operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance rating at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, providing sustained performance in elevated temperature conditions.
• Mechanical / Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ22 × 30 mm) for secure board retention and simplified installation in high‑voltage power assemblies; supplied in tray packing and in mass production status.
• Safety Features — Series datasheet specifies a pressure relief vent designed to operate without dangerous conditions such as flames or dispersion of pieces, supporting safer failure modes.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power supplies — Use where 400 V DC bulk capacitance and reliable ripple handling are required for energy storage and smoothing.
• Industrial power equipment — Applicable in high‑voltage circuits in industrial electronics that benefit from extended endurance at 105°C.
• Power conversion and filtering — Suitable for DC link and filtering duties in assemblies that need a compact snap‑in solution with measurable ripple ratings.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability: 400 V rating provides headroom for high‑voltage DC applications without upsizing capacitance or footprint.
• Defined ripple performance: Separate ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (660 mA and 759 mA) allow designers to match part selection to operating frequency conditions.
• Endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C under specified test conditions gives predictable lifetime behavior for thermal‑stress environments.
• Compact snap‑in packaging: φ22 × 30 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies board retention and mechanical stability in power assemblies.
• Controlled dissipation and leakage: Specified tan δ and leakage current figures (0.20 tan δ, 600 µA leakage) support thermal budgeting and standby power calculations.
• Production readiness: Tray packing and mass production status support scalable procurement and assembly flow for volume builds.
