LAQ2P271MELB25

The LAQ2P271MELB25 is a Nichicon LAQ series snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 270 µF capacitance at a 220 V DC rating in a radial can snap-in package designed for robust board mounting and high-temperature operation.

Key value propositions include a compact large-can form factor with snap-in mounting for secure PCB retention, an extended operating range to +105°C, and design data (lifetime, ripple current and leakage characteristics) that support dependable performance in demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Electrical characteristics — 270 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and polarized construction for DC applications.
• Voltage rating — 220 V DC rated for higher-voltage bus applications requiring bulk capacitance in a single component.
• Temperature & endurance — Operating range from −25°C to +105°C and rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current per the LAQ series endurance specification.
• Ripple current — Specified ripple handling of 1 A at 120 Hz and 1.2 A at 10 kHz for thermal and ripple performance planning.
• Leakage and loss — Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√C μA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C, as specified for the LAQ family.
• Mechanical & mounting — Radial can, snap-in terminal package (size L: 2.5 cm × D: 3.0 cm) for secure snap-in PCB installation.
• Safety and reliability — Series safety performance includes pressure relief venting to prevent dangerous failure modes under abnormal conditions; series shelf-life and end-of-life criteria are defined in the LAQ datasheet.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and DC filtering where a 220 V, 270 µF polarized snap-in capacitor is required.
• Industrial control equipment — Suited for designs that require operation up to +105°C and defined long-term endurance (2000 hours at 105°C).
• High-voltage DC bus modules — Used where a compact 220 V-rated electrolytic with snap-in mounting is needed for board-level DC link or energy storage.

Unique Advantages

• High DC voltage capability: 220 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power rails without multiple-parallel components.
• Compact large-can form with snap-in retention: Radial can and snap-in terminals provide mechanical stability and simplified PCB assembly for through-hole designs.
• Designed for elevated temperatures: Rated to +105°C with a defined 2000-hour endurance at that temperature for predictable life in hot environments.
• Measured ripple capacity: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help you size thermal dissipation and cooling requirements accurately.
• Quantified leakage and loss metrics: Leakage current formula and tan δ limits support electrical margining and performance modeling.
• RoHS compliant: Aligns with lead-free manufacturing and regulatory requirements.
