LGG2Z272MELC45

The LGG2Z272MELC45 is a Nichicon LGG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal format, offering 2.7 mF capacitance at 180 V with ±20% tolerance. It is designed for general-purpose applications that require high-voltage electrolytic capacitance in a compact, snap-in can.

Built for space-conscious designs, this part delivers high ripple-current capability, extended endurance at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for equipment where reliable bulk capacitance, thermal endurance and compact packaging are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, rated for 180 V DC.
• Low Loss Performance — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.15 maximum at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient energy storage with controlled dissipation.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 3000 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4500 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) for effective smoothing and decoupling under dynamic load conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2090 µA, measured after rated voltage application, suitable for applications that require predictable leakage characteristics.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated voltage plus ripple stress.
• Compact Snap-In Package — Radial, snap-in can (φ35 × 45L mm) offers secure PCB mounting and a one-rank-smaller case size within the LGG series for equipment down-sizing.
• Compliance and Packaging — RoHS-compliant construction and supplied in tray packing; part is in mass production by Nichicon.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance for systems that require 2.7 mF at 180 V in a snap-in can.
• Space-constrained designs — Suited for equipment down-sizing where a smaller case size helps reduce enclosure volume.
• High-temperature environments — Applicable where operation up to 105°C and 2000 h endurance are required.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capacitance in a compact form: 2.7 mF at 180 V in a φ35 × 45 mm snap-in can reduces the footprint for designs needing significant energy storage.
• Robust ripple handling: 3 A (120 Hz) and 4.5 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings give designers predictable performance under both low- and high-frequency ripple stress.
• Elevated temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports reliable long-term operation in hot environments.
• Controlled dissipation: Low tan δ (0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz) helps minimize heating and loss in demanding applications.
• Secure PCB mounting: Snap-in radial can construction provides reliable mechanical attachment for through-hole assemblies.
• Regulatory readiness and production availability: RoHS compliance and mass-production status simplify procurement and regulatory planning.
