Overview of LGG2G102MELC50 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap-in, 1000 µF / 400 V / 105°C
The LGG2G102MELC50 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, ultra-smaller-sized package designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 1000 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating with operation up to 105°C, offering a compact high-voltage solution for equipment downsizing.
With a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C and RoHS compliance, this part is targeted at designs that require high-voltage capability, elevated temperature tolerance, and secure board mounting in space-constrained assemblies.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance rated for 400 V DC provides substantial energy storage for high-voltage circuits.
- Temperature & Endurance — Rated for operation from −25 °C to 105 °C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions.
- Ultra‑Smaller Size — Designed as an ultra-smaller-sized snap-in type; the LGG series is one rank smaller in case size to support equipment downsizing.
- Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminals in a radial can (snap-in) package provide secure PCB retention for power assemblies.
- Ripple Performance — Ripple current capability of 2.14 A at 120 Hz and 3.06 A at 100 kHz supports both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
- Polarized Electrolytic — Polarized device with tolerance −20% to +20% suitable for conventional DC smoothing and energy storage tasks.
- Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.
Typical Applications
- Compact Power Supplies — Provides bulk capacitance and high-voltage rating in space-constrained power supply designs where downsizing is required.
- High-Voltage DC Filtering — Suited for DC link or smoothing applications that require a 400 V rated capacitor with reliable ripple handling.
- Elevated-Temperature Environments — Applicable where continuous operation at temperatures up to 105 °C is expected, backed by a 2000-hour endurance spec.
Unique Advantages
- Compact, space-saving form — Ultra-smaller-sized case enables reduction in equipment footprint while maintaining 1000 µF capacity.
- High-voltage capability — 400 V rating supports designs requiring substantial DC bus voltages without stacking components.
- Robust high-temperature endurance — Rated 2000 hours at 105 °C for predictable lifetime performance in hot operating environments.
- Dual-frequency ripple handling — Specified ripple current at 120 Hz (2.14 A) and 100 kHz (3.06 A) addresses both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
- Secure snap-in mounting — Snap-in terminals facilitate stable PCB retention in power assemblies and simplify mechanical assembly.
- Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction supports restricted-substance requirements for global markets.
