LAQ2P271MELZ35ZB

The LAQ2P271MELZ35ZB is a Nichicon LAQ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor with snap-in terminals, offering 270 µF capacitance at a 220 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance. Designed for general-purpose electronic designs, it provides a compact φ22 × 35 mm can, snap-in mounting, and specifications tuned for applications requiring moderate ripple handling and long-term endurance.

This part combines a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C, controlled loss characteristics (tanδ 0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz), and defined leakage and ripple ratings to support stable DC filtering and decoupling in production environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 270 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 220 V DC rating suitable for higher-voltage general-purpose applications.
• Snap-in Mounting — Snap-in terminal type in a radial can package for secure mechanical mounting and straightforward PCB assembly.
• Ripple Current Capability — 1000 mA (1.0 A) at low frequency (120 Hz) and 1200 mA (1.2 A) at high frequency (10 kHz) to handle required AC ripple in filtering and smoothing roles.
• Loss Tangent (tanδ) — 0.20 maximum at 20°C and 120 Hz, providing predictable ESR-related behavior for design calculations.
• Leakage Current — 730 µA specified leakage current after rated-voltage application at 20°C.
• Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage after the endurance test.
• Operating Temperature Range — −25°C to +105°C to match a wide set of environmental conditions within general-purpose equipment.
• Compact Size & Package — φ22 × 35 mm can (L: 3.5 × D: 2.2 cm) supplied in tray packing for mass production handling.
• Safety Vent — Series safety performance includes a pressure-relief vent designed to operate without causing flames or dispersion of case parts under abnormal conditions.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic designs — Suitable where a 270 µF, 220 V electrolytic capacitor with snap-in mounting is required for DC filtering and energy storage.
• Power supply filtering — Aimed at circuits that require defined ripple current handling and stable capacitance over temperature and time.
• Production assemblies — Tray-packed, snap-in form factor supports efficient handling and insertion in mass-production environments.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 220 V rating supports designs that require elevated DC voltage handling within a compact footprint.
• Defined ripple performance: Rated ripple currents of 1.0 A (120 Hz) and 1.2 A (10 kHz) let engineers size capacitors to meet smoothing and ripple needs with quantifiable margins.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable lifetime behavior for thermal-stressed applications.
• Predictable dielectric losses: tanδ ≤ 0.20 at 20°C/120 Hz gives a clear reference for loss and ESR-related calculations.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging: Tray packing and snap-in terminals simplify assembly and throughput in mass-production workflows.
• Safety-focused design: Pressure-relief venting reduces risk from abnormal conditions without producing flames or case fragmentation.
