Overview of LAQ2P181MELZ25ZB – Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 180 µF, 220 V
The LAQ2P181MELZ25ZB is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor optimized for general-purpose applications. It delivers 180 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating in a compact φ22 × 25 mm can with polarized snap-in mounting.
Designed for applications that require stable performance across a wide temperature range and defined ripple handling, this part combines a high operating temperature rating and a specified endurance to support reliable service in board-mounted power systems.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage 180 µF rated capacitance at 220 V.
- Tolerance ±20% capacitance tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable charge storage.
- Loss Characteristics Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz and 20°C to characterize dissipation.
- Ripple Current Capability 700 mA low-frequency ripple current (120 Hz) and 840 mA high-frequency ripple current (10 kHz) to support AC stress on DC bus and smoothing duties.
- Leakage Current Specified leakage current of 590 µA after standard application of rated voltage.
- Temperature & Endurance Operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated conditions as defined in the datasheet.
- Package & Mounting Radial can, snap-in terminal type (φ22 × 25 mm), supplied in tray packing for board-level assembly.
- Polarized Electrolytic, polarized construction for bulk energy storage and filtering.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power systems Suitable for board-mounted smoothing and bulk capacitance in general-purpose electronic designs requiring 220 V rated voltage.
- High-temperature environments Applications that demand operation up to 105°C with a specified 2000-hour endurance at that temperature.
- AC ripple management Use where defined low-frequency and high-frequency ripple currents (700 mA @120 Hz, 840 mA @10 kHz) must be accommodated.
Unique Advantages
- Defined endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable life performance for thermal-stressed applications.
- Dual-frequency ripple specification: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz let designers size capacitors for both mains-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency switching environments.
- Compact snap-in form factor: φ22 × 25 mm radial can with snap-in terminals offers a space-efficient solution for board-mounted bulk capacitance.
- Controlled dissipation: tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz and 20°C supports thermal and loss budgeting in power designs.
- Low leakage: Specified leakage current (590 µA) aids in predictable standby and bias behavior in circuits.
- Stable low-temperature impedance: Datasheet stability metrics define impedance behavior at lower temperatures, supporting designs across the −25°C to +105°C range.
