LAS2G101MELZ25ZB

The LAS2G101MELZ25ZB is a snap‑in terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at 400 V in a compact φ22 × 25 mm can and is built for elevated operating environments up to 105°C.

Engineered for durability in voltage‑fluctuating equipment, this Nichicon LAS series capacitor combines long endurance under rated ripple current, reduced case size compared with previous series, and enhanced safety performance for abnormally excessive voltage conditions. It is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance at 400 V for high‑voltage bulk and smoothing applications.
• High Temperature Endurance — Designed to withstand 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C; capacitors meet specified limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current after the endurance test.
• Snap‑In, Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting for secure PCB retention and convenient installation; package dimensions L: 2.5 × D: 2.2 cm with a seated height limit of 2.5 cm.
• Improved Safety Performance — Pressure relief vent and enhanced safety features to mitigate risk under abnormally excessive voltage conditions, with specified limited DC current and test voltages per capacitance range.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current values of 680 mA at 120 Hz and 782 mA at 10 kHz; frequency coefficient table provided for performance scaling at other frequencies.
• Electrical Characteristics — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C); tan δ ≤ 0.20 (120 Hz, 20°C); leakage current within specified formula after voltage application.
• Wide Operating Range — Category temperature range −25°C to +105°C for use in demanding thermal environments.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power equipment — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in equipment where a compact, high‑voltage capacitor is required.
• Voltage‑fluctuating environments — Suited for systems exposed to varying supply conditions thanks to improved safety features for abnormally excessive voltage.
• High‑temperature installations — Applications requiring sustained ripple performance at elevated temperatures up to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Long ripple endurance: Withstands 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, providing predictable performance in continuous high‑stress environments.
• Compact high‑voltage form factor: φ22 × 25 mm can delivers 100 µF at 400 V in a smaller case size, helping reduce enclosure and board space.
• Enhanced safety under abnormal voltage: Pressure relief vent and defined safety test conditions improve operational safety where voltage excursions may occur.
• Frequency-aware ripple performance: Ripple current scales with frequency (e.g., coefficient 1.15 at ≥10 kHz versus 120 Hz), enabling better high‑frequency performance characterization.
• Clear electrical limits: Defined tan δ, leakage current, and impedance stability figures allow easy integration into designs with predictable aging and stability behavior.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports deployment in markets requiring restricted‑substance compliance.
