LAR2D821MELA35

The LAR2D821MELA35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 820 µF capacitance at a 200 V rating. Built in a radial, can-type snap‑in package, it is specified for operation from −40 °C to +105 °C with a permissible overvoltage design characteristic.

Designed for general‑purpose applications, this Nichicon LAR series part delivers high ripple‑current endurance and safety characteristics intended for demanding power environments where long life at elevated temperature is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 820 µF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• High‑temperature operation — Rated for use from −40 °C to +105 °C to support elevated ambient and thermal stress conditions.
• Long ripple endurance — Withstands 2000 hours of rated ripple‑current application at 105 °C, supporting prolonged operation under continuous ripple stress.
• Ripple current performance — Specified ripple current of 2.04 A at 120 Hz and 3.06 A at 50 kHz, with frequency coefficients provided in the series datasheet.
• Snap‑in radial can package — Snap‑in terminal type (radial, can) for secure board mounting and mechanical stability in power assemblies.
• Permissible overvoltage and safety — Series design reduces incidence of short when exposed to overvoltage (rated voltage × 1.5); safety performance validated under limited‑current overvoltage conditions.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose — High‑temperature power systems — Suitable for designs requiring 820 µF at 200 V with reliable operation up to 105 °C.
• General‑purpose — High ripple‑current environments — Intended for circuits that demand sustained ripple current capability and long endurance (2000 hours at 105 °C).
• General‑purpose — Designs requiring overvoltage robustness — Useful where reduced short incidence under overvoltage (1.5× rated) is a design consideration.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high‑temperature endurance: 2000‑hour rated ripple endurance at 105 °C ensures predictable performance in elevated‑temperature applications.
• Measured ripple capability: Explicit ripple‑current ratings (2.04 A at 120 Hz; 3.06 A at 50 kHz) allow accurate thermal and lifetime planning.
• Snap‑in packaging for reliable mounting: Radial, can‑snap‑in construction delivers mechanical stability and straightforward PCB integration.
• Overvoltage safety behavior: Series characteristics reduce short incidence under 1.5× rated voltage, supporting safer operation under transient or fault conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity simplifies use in regulated markets and reduces materials‑compliance risk.
