Overview of LAS2G181MELB25ZB – Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 180 µF / 400 V
The LAS2G181MELB25ZB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, radial can package. It provides 180 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating and is intended for general-purpose applications requiring a compact, high-voltage electrolytic solution.
Designed for operation from −25 °C to +105 °C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C, this small-sized snap-in part is particularly suited to equipment exposed to fluctuating voltages thanks to improved safety features and a pressure-relief vent design.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 180 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated DC voltage and ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
- Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal mounting for secure mechanical retention in assemblies; package case described as radial, can - snap-in.
- Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for −25 °C to +105 °C operation and endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
- Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 950 mA at 120 Hz and 1.093 A at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients provided for higher frequency operation.
- Safety Features — Improved safety for abnormal overvoltage conditions and a pressure relief vent designed to operate without flames, ignition, or dangerous dispersion of parts.
- Compact Footprint — Smaller-sized design with dimensions approximately Ø30 mm × 25 mm length (L: 2.5 cm × D: 3 cm), suitable where board space is constrained.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements as indicated in the product documentation.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose equipment — Serves as a high-voltage electrolytic option for general-purpose electronic assemblies requiring bulk capacitance.
- Equipment in voltage-fluctuating areas — Designed with enhanced safety features to address abnormal voltage conditions common in fluctuating-voltage environments.
- Snap-in terminal assemblies — Intended for applications that benefit from snap-in mounting for mechanical stability and simplified assembly.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 400 V rating enables use in higher-voltage circuits where substantial bulk capacitance is required.
- Compact, high-density design: Smaller case size (Ø30 mm × 25 mm length) delivers 180 µF in a compact footprint to help save board space.
- Robust thermal endurance: 2000-hour lifetime at 105 °C ensures sustained performance under elevated-temperature operating conditions.
- Measured ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (950 mA and 1.093 A respectively) with frequency coefficients for other bands aid in reliable ripple management.
- Safety-oriented construction: Pressure relief vent and improved safety design reduce risk during abnormal overvoltage events without producing flames or dangerous dispersion.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in assemblies requiring restricted-substance adherence.
