LAQ2P331MELC25

The LAQ2P331MELC25 is a Nichicon LAQ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal radial can. It provides 330 µF nominal capacitance at a 220 V rating with polarized construction for general-purpose power applications.

Designed for applications that need sustained ripple handling and high-temperature endurance, this part combines 1.2 A (120 Hz) / 1.44 A (10 kHz) ripple capability with a −25°C to +105°C operating range and a 2000 hour life at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at a 220 V rated voltage, suitable for systems specified to those electrical parameters.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 1.2 A at 120 Hz and 1.44 A at 10 kHz, supporting applications with continuous AC ripple on the DC bus.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 800 µA, measured under the part’s defined conditions to help predict standby and leakage power.
• High‑temperature Endurance — Endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting prolonged operation in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Operating Temperature Range — −25°C to +105°C, enabling use across a broad thermal profile consistent with the LAQ series specification.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal radial can package (φ35 × 25 mm) for secure chassis mounting; supplied in tray packing and intended for mass production assembly.
• Safety Feature — Incorporates the series’ pressure relief vent construction for safer operation under abnormal conditions as specified in the LAQ series documentation.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose 220 V systems — Provides bulk capacitance and defined ripple handling for circuits specified at 220 V and requiring 330 µF nominal capacitance.
• Power assemblies and modules — Suitable for assemblies that demand sustained ripple current capability and high-temperature endurance (2000 h at 105°C).
• Mass-production assemblies — Tray packing and snap-in mounting make the part appropriate for high-volume manufacturing and straightforward mechanical installation.

Unique Advantages

• Defined ripple performance: Clear ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz (1.2 A) and 10 kHz (1.44 A) let engineers size capacitors based on measured ripple conditions.
• High-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports designs that operate in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Compact snap-in package: φ35 × 25 mm radial can with snap-in terminals provides a stable, space-efficient mounting option for chassis or power frames.
• Predictable leakage: Specified leakage current of 800 µA aids in system power budgeting and standby current estimations.
• Production-ready packing: Tray packing and mass-production orientation simplify procurement and assembly planning for volume production.
