LGJ2C391MELC15

The LGJ2C391MELC15 from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGJ series, specified for general-purpose applications. It combines a 390 µF capacitance with a 160 V rating in a compact, low-profile φ35 × 15L can.

Engineered for elevated-temperature operation and extended endurance, this capacitor offers a 105°C operating rating, 2000 hour life at 105°C, and polarized snap-in mounting suitable for production assemblies that require reliable bulk capacitance and robust ripple handling.

Key Features

• Core Electrical  390 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz and a 160 V rated voltage for general-purpose high-voltage capacitance needs.
• Thermal & Endurance  Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C and specified for 2000 hours endurance at 105°C, providing predictable performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Ripple & Leakage  Low-frequency ripple current of 1.2 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.8 A at 50 kHz; typical leakage current specified at 740 µA.
• Mechanical & Mounting  Snap-in terminal, radial can package (φ35 × 15L) designed for secure board mounting and integration into production assemblies.
• Polarization & Tolerance  Polarized electrolytic construction with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Production Readiness  Tray packing and mass production status indicate availability for volume manufacturing and assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuits  For designs that require 390 µF at 160 V in a snap-in, radial can package.
• Elevated-temperature environments  Suited to assemblies operating up to 105°C with a specified 2000 hour endurance at that temperature.
• High ripple current scenarios  Applicable where sustained ripple performance is needed, supported by the specified low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage bulk capacitance: 390 µF at 160 V provides substantial energy storage in a single component, simplifying BOM for circuits requiring higher DC voltage handling.
• Elevated-temperature endurance: 105°C rating with 2000 hours life at 105°C supports reliable performance in thermally demanding installations.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz (1.2 A) and 50 kHz (1.8 A) enables predictable behavior across low- and high-frequency filtering tasks.
• Compact snap-in form factor: Radial snap-in package (φ35 × 15L) streamlines mechanical retention and assembly in production environments.
• Production-ready supply: Tray packing and mass production status facilitate procurement and volume assembly planning.
