LGJ2C331MELB15

The LGJ2C331MELB15 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a low-profile, radial can package designed for general-purpose power applications. It provides 330 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating with a compact φ30 × 15 mm footprint optimized for assemblies requiring high-voltage smoothing in a small form factor.

Engineered for elevated operating temperatures and sustained ripple handling, this part targets industrial and general-purpose electronic designs that need reliable bulk capacitance, thermal endurance, and tray-packed availability for mass production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 330 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 160 V DC rating suited for higher-voltage general-purpose circuits.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating from −40°C to +105°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — 1.0 A at 120 Hz for low-frequency ripple and 1.5 A at 100 kHz for high-frequency ripple, supporting a range of switching and mains-frequency applications.
• Leakage Current — 680 µA specified leakage current.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can construction in a low-profile φ30 × 15 mm package, supplied in tray packing for mass production handling.
• Polarized, General-Purpose Use — Polarized electrolytic design intended for general-purpose circuit functions requiring bulk capacitance.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in high-voltage power rails where 160 V rating and 330 µF capacitance are required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Filtering and energy buffering in industrial supplies and control equipment operating across −40°C to +105°C.
• Switching/High-Frequency Circuits — Supports high-frequency ripple with 1.5 A capability at 100 kHz for switch-mode applications.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage, Compact Footprint — Delivers 160 V capability in a φ30 × 15 mm low-profile can, enabling space-efficient designs that still require elevated voltage margins.
• Robust Thermal Endurance — Rated for operation up to 105°C with a 2000-hour endurance at that temperature, providing predictable aging characteristics in hotter environments.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Performance — Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz (1.0 A) and 100 kHz (1.5 A) makes the part versatile across mains-frequency and switching-frequency applications.
• Production-Friendly Packaging — Tray packing and snap-in mounting facilitate automated assembly and stable mechanical retention on populated boards.
• Clear Electrical Limits — Specified leakage current (680 µA) and tolerance (±20%) allow engineers to budget for leakage and capacitance variation in design margins.
