LGC2H271MELZ60

The LGC2H271MELZ60 is a snap‑in terminal, large‑can aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGC series. It delivers 270 µF at 500 V in a compact φ22 × 60 mm package and is designed for general‑purpose high‑voltage applications that require long service life.

With a 105°C endurance rating (5,000 hours) and RoHS compliance, this capacitor is suited for equipment down‑sizing and applications requiring high voltage handling, stable performance over temperature, and robust ripple tolerance.

Key Features

• High Rated Voltage — 500 V rating provides headroom for high‑voltage DC circuits.
• Capacitance & Tolerance — 270 µF with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Long Endurance — Rated for 5,000 hours at 105°C under applied D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, supporting extended field life.
• Temperature Range — Operating from –40°C to +105°C to cover wide ambient conditions.
• Low‑Loss Performance — tan δ ≤ 0.25 (120 Hz, 20°C) to minimize dissipation in AC/ripple environments.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated low‑frequency ripple current 1.62 A at 120 Hz and frequency‑adjusted high‑frequency ripple 2.317 A at 50 kHz for effective filtering under varying ripple spectra.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current approximately 1.10 mA (1,100 µA) after initial application conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can (φ22 × 60 mm) for secure board mounting and automated assembly; supplied in tray packing for handling.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑voltage power supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in 500 V DC rails where stable capacitance and high ripple tolerance are required.
• Industrial power equipment — Filtering and decoupling in industrial converters and power modules that demand long endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Equipment down‑sizing projects — Compact φ22 × 60 mm can and one‑rank smaller case size help reduce board area while maintaining high‑voltage capability.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 500 V rating enables use directly on high DC rails without additional stacking or derating complexities.
• Long life at elevated temperature: 5,000‑hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable long‑term performance for designs exposed to heat and continuous bias.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (1.62 A @120 Hz; 2.317 A @50 kHz) reduce thermal stress and improve reliability under dynamic load conditions.
• Compact snap‑in package: φ22 × 60 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies mechanical retention and supports automated assembly with tray packing.
• Low dissipation factor: tan δ ≤ 0.25 at 120 Hz, 20°C limits internal losses for improved efficiency in AC/ripple environments.
• RoHS compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for lead‑free appliance and equipment designs.
