Overview of LAQ2P271MELA30ZB – Snap-in Terminal Type, 105°C Permissible Abnormal Voltage, Smaller-sized
The LAQ2P271MELA30ZB is a 270 µF, 220 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in radial can designed for general-purpose power applications. It combines a compact case size with high-temperature endurance and features engineered for safety under abnormal voltage conditions.
Targeted at equipment operating in environments with voltage fluctuations, this snap-in capacitor delivers rated performance up to 105°C and supports sustained ripple currents for power filtering and smoothing tasks.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 220 V, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from -25°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C when DC bias plus rated ripple current is applied.
- Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in mounting type designed for secure PCB installation and mechanical stability in power assemblies.
- Ripple Current Capability — Supports 1 A ripple current at 120 Hz and 1.2 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing in power circuits across low and higher ripple frequencies.
- Safety Features — Includes a pressure relief vent designed to operate under abnormal conditions without causing flames or dangerous dispersion of parts.
- Polarized Design — Standard polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC power applications.
- Compact Form Factor — Smaller-sized case (approximately L: 3 × D: 2.5 cm) for space-constrained power designs.
- RoHS Compliance — Series-level compliance to RoHS directives as stated in the product documentation.
Typical Applications
- General Purpose Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing in power supplies where a 220 V rated capacitor is required.
- Industrial Equipment — Power conditioning in equipment used in areas with fluctuating supply voltage where enhanced safety and high-temperature endurance are needed.
- PCB-mounted Power Modules — Snap-in radial can design provides secure PCB mounting for power conversion and distribution modules.
Unique Advantages
- High-Temperature Reliability: The 2000-hour endurance at 105°C under rated conditions supports long-term operation in hot environments.
- Designed for Voltage Fluctuations: Safety enhancements and permissible abnormal voltage handling reduce risk in installations subject to transient or fluctuating voltages.
- Space-Efficient Packaging: Smaller case size (L: 3 × D: 2.5 cm) allows designers to save board and chassis space without sacrificing capacitance.
- Broad Ripple Performance: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz provides predictable performance across common power-frequency and switching-frequency conditions.
- Robust Mounting: Snap-in terminals offer mechanical stability for vertical PCB assemblies and power stacks.
