LAQ2G330MELZ25

The LAQ2G330MELZ25 from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LAQ series, offering 33 µF capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage. It is a smaller-sized, polarized radial can designed for general-purpose electronic applications that require high-voltage capability in a compact snap-in form factor.

Key electrical and reliability characteristics include an operating temperature range of -25 °C to +105 °C, a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, and defined ripple current performance at both low and high frequencies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 33 µF capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage suitable for high-voltage, general-purpose applications requiring a compact electrolytic solution.
• Polarized Snap‑In Package — Radial, can-style snap-in mounting for secure board installation and straightforward mechanical retention on the PCB.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range -25 °C to +105 °C with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 250 mA at 120 Hz and 287.5 mA at 10 kHz, enabling handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple within specified limits.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Capacitance tolerance ±20% and leakage current governed by I ≤ 3√C (µA) after voltage application, with tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20 °C (series specifications).
• Compact Dimensions — Smaller-sized footprint with dimensions L × D = 25 × 22 mm and a seated height specification suitable for space-constrained assemblies.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Intended for general-purpose circuits requiring a 33 µF, 400 V polarized capacitor in a snap‑in package.
• PCB Power Subassemblies — Snap-in radial can construction provides robust mechanical retention for board-mounted power components in general-purpose designs.
• Elevated-Temperature Installations — Rated for -25 °C to +105 °C with a 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C, making it suitable for general-purpose circuits that operate near the upper temperature limit.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 400 V rating addresses designs that require elevated DC voltage handling without increasing capacitance size.
• Compact, Smaller-sized Form Factor: 25 × 22 mm radial can footprint reduces board area compared with larger snap-in alternatives while retaining snap‑in mounting.
• Designed for High-Temperature Endurance: Specified 2000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current for predictable aging and performance in hotter environments.
• Measured Ripple Handling: Defined ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size filters and smoothing networks with quantifiable limits.
• Series-Level Safety Features: LAQ series safety performance includes a pressure relief vent to mitigate abnormal conditions per series specifications.
