Overview of LAR2G221MELA35 – Snap‑in 400 V, 220 µF Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LAR2G221MELA35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated 400 V with 220 µF nominal capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It is a general‑purpose, radial can snap‑in type designed for applications that require high‑voltage bulk capacitance in a compact φ25 × 35 mm can.
Key value propositions include a 105°C permissible operating range with a 2000‑hour endurance under rated ripple current, designed safety behavior under overvoltage conditions, and RoHS compliance for environmental compatibility.
Key Features
- Snap‑in terminal package Secure radial, can‑style snap‑in mounting for robust mechanical retention and straightforward installation on power assemblies.
- 400 V rated voltage High working voltage suitable for 400 V systems.
- 220 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance Provides bulk capacitance in a compact package for general‑purpose power applications.
- 105°C temperature rating with defined endurance Specified to withstand rated ripple current for 2000 hours at 105°C with limits on capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current.
- Ripple current capability and frequency response Rated ripple current: 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 1.573 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficients provided for ripple current correction across frequencies.
- Improved safety under overvoltage Designed to reduce incidence of short when subjected to 1.5× rated voltage; safety performance test shows more than 60% pass rate under specified overvoltage condition.
- Leakage current specification Leakage current after 5 minutes at 20°C follows I ≤ 3√CV (µA), where C is µF and V is voltage.
- Operating temperature range Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C (for 400 V and 450 V ratings).
- RoHS compliant Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements.
- Compact footprint Physical size: L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm (φ25 × 35 mm), with white marking on a black sleeve for part identification.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose power circuits Suited where a 400 V, 220 µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk capacitance in general‑purpose designs.
- Power supply subsystems Applicable in power modules and assemblies that need high‑voltage bulk capacitance with defined ripple handling and endurance at elevated temperature.
- Industrial equipment Can be used in general industrial electronics and power assemblies that rely on robust snap‑in mounting and long‑term high‑temperature performance.
Unique Advantages
- High‑voltage bulk capacitance: 400 V rating combined with 220 µF provides substantial stored energy capacity for high‑voltage circuits.
- Thermal endurance at elevated temperature: Qualified for 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, ensuring predictable aging behavior in hot environments.
- Defined ripple performance: Published ripple current values and frequency coefficients allow straightforward ripple derating across frequency ranges.
- Improved overvoltage behavior: Designed to reduce short incidence and validated by overvoltage testing at 1.5× rated voltage with a measured pass condition.
- Easy, secure mounting: Snap‑in radial can simplifies assembly into power enclosures and chassis while providing mechanical stability.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious designs and supply chain requirements.
