LAQ2P821MELC40

The LAQ2P821MELC40 is an LAQ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a snap‑in terminal configuration, rated 820 µF at 220 V. It is designed for general‑purpose electronic equipment and applications that require bulk capacitance with robust ripple current handling and extended endurance at elevated temperature.

Key performance attributes include high ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, a 2000‑hour endurance rating at 105°C, and a compact snap‑in radial can package for secure chassis or PCB mounting. The part is RoHS compliant and includes safety features from the LAQ series for improved behavior under abnormal voltage conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 820 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 220 V.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 2.11 A at 120 Hz and 2.532 A at 10 kHz to support smoothing and decoupling under AC ripple stress.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Specified for 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after endurance testing.
• Leakage Current: Measured leakage current value listed as 1270 µA after standard voltage application conditions.
• Mounting & Package: Snap‑in terminal (radial, can – snap‑in) for secure mechanical and electrical connection; supplied in tray packing for mass production handling.
• Compact Size: φ35 × 40 mm form factor (D × L: 3.5 × 4.0 cm), suitable where space is limited but high capacitance is required.
• Safety & Reliability: LAQ series design includes pressure relief vent and improved safety features for abnormal voltage conditions.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Electronic Equipment: Bulk energy storage and smoothing where a 220 V, 820 µF capacitor is required.
• Equipment Subject to Voltage Fluctuation: Suited for systems operating in environments with variable supply voltage thanks to series safety features and rated endurance under ripple stress.
• AC Ripple Filtering: Effective for smoothing and ripple current absorption in power circuits that generate significant low‑ and high‑frequency ripple components.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Handling: Dual ripple current ratings (120 Hz and 10 kHz) provide clear guidance for both low‑ and high‑frequency AC stress applications.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life: 2000 hours at 105°C endurance supports long‑term operation in elevated temperature environments.
• Snap‑In Mechanical Retention: Snap‑in radial can simplifies installation and provides reliable mechanical and electrical connection for high‑current paths.
• Compact High Capacitance: 820 µF in a φ35 × 40 mm package allows designers to retain large capacitance in constrained spaces.
• Safety‑Focused Design: Series improvements include pressure relief and measures to limit dangerous outcomes under abnormal voltage conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in markets requiring restricted substance adherence.
