LAQ2G121MELZ35

The LAQ2G121MELZ35 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LAQ snap‑in series. It delivers 120 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 400 V rated voltage in a compact snap‑in radial can (φ22 × 35 mm).

Designed for general‑purpose applications, the part combines high ripple‑current capability, long endurance at elevated temperature, and a snap‑in package suited to mass production and secure PCB mounting.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 120 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at a 400 V rated voltage.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 760 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 874 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), supporting effective smoothing under AC ripple conditions.
• Controlled Leakage — Specified leakage current of 650 µA for predictable DC performance.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — 2000 hours life at 105°C and rated operation from −25°C to 105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction, compact φ22 × 35 mm size, supplied in tray packing for volume assembly.
• Polarized Design — Polar capacitor suitable for DC applications requiring a polarized electrolytic solution.
• Safety Performance — Built with a pressure relief vent to operate under abnormal conditions without hazardous dispersion.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Electronic Equipment — For designs that require 120 µF at 400 V with snap‑in mounting and predictable leakage and ripple behavior.
• High‑Voltage Power Supplies — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling at a 400 V rating for high‑voltage DC circuits.
• Industrial and Commercial Systems — Compact φ22 × 35 mm size and snap‑in terminals simplify secure mounting in mass‑production assemblies.
• Filtering and Smoothing — Suitable where sustained DC bias plus rated ripple current is applied, with endurance validated for 2000 hours at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 400 V rating enables integration into higher‑voltage DC circuits without additional series components.
• Robust ripple handling: Dual ripple‑current ratings (760 mA @120 Hz, 874 mA @10 kHz) accommodate both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple environments.
• Elevated temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long‑term performance in higher‑temperature applications.
• Compact snap‑in package: φ22 × 35 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals supports secure PCB retention and efficient throughput in tray packing for production runs.
• Managed leakage and safety: Specified leakage current and a pressure relief vent contribute to controlled DC behavior and safe operation under abnormal conditions.
