LAQ2G101MELZ30ZB

The LAQ2G101MELZ30ZB is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LAQ series, offering a 400 V rated voltage with 100 µF capacitance. Built for general-purpose applications, this radial can snap-in package is sized at φ22 × 30 mm and supplied in tray packing for mass production.

Key performance attributes include a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C, a 2000 hour endurance at 105°C, low leakage current and substantial ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies—features that support demanding power and assembly environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Voltage Rating — 400 V rated voltage suitable for higher-voltage power circuits.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can, snap-in terminal type, dimension φ22 × 30 mm, provided in tray packing for mass production.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range -25°C to 105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions.
• Ripple Current Performance — 660 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 759 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to handle AC ripple in power circuits.
• Low Leakage & Loss — Leakage current specified at 600 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) up to 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Polarized Design — Polar type capacitor suitable for DC filtering and energy storage roles common to electrolytic designs.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Circuits — Designed for general-purpose applications that require a 400 V rating and 100 µF capacitance for DC filtering and smoothing.
• Production Assembly with Snap-In Mounting — Snap-in radial can and tray packing support efficient, high-volume assembly and secure PCB mounting.
• Elevated-Temperature Environments — Rated for continuous operation up to 105°C with a 2000 hour endurance specification for applications that operate at higher ambient temperatures.
• Circuits with Significant Ripple — Supports substantial ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz, suitable for designs that encounter low- and high-frequency ripple stresses.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 400 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC circuits without up-rating multiple lower-voltage components.
• Compact Snap-In Form Factor: φ22 × 30 mm radial can with snap-in terminals offers a space-efficient solution that speeds installation in production environments.
• Robust Thermal Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C provides durability for prolonged operation at elevated temperatures.
• Balanced Ripple Performance: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support handling of AC components across a range of frequencies.
• Low Leakage and Controlled Loss: 600 µA leakage current and tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz help maintain efficiency and predictable behavior in DC circuits.
