Overview of LGJ2D181MELA15 – 180 µF, 200 V Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGJ2D181MELA15 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, low-profile can package designed for general-purpose power applications. It provides 180 µF capacitance at 200 V with a compact φ25 × 15 mm footprint and is delivered in tray packing for mass production.
Engineered for elevated temperature operation, this part supports an operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, offering stable performance where long-duration thermal stress is expected.
Key Features
- Electrical Rating — 180 µF capacitance at a 200 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for circuits that require this specific capacitance/voltage combination.
- Loss Factor (tan δ) — Specified tanδ of 0.2 (DF) measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, enabling predictable dissipation characteristics for design calculations.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated for 750 mA low-frequency ripple (120 Hz) and 1.125 A high-frequency ripple (50 kHz), supporting designs with moderate AC ripple across the capacitor.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 560 µA, useful for estimating standby losses and bias requirements.
- Thermal Endurance — 2000 hours life at 105°C, combined with an operating range of −40°C to +105°C for robust thermal performance.
- Mechanical & Mounting — Snap-in radial can package (φ25 × 15 mm) for secure board mounting and compact board-level integration; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing where a 180 µF / 200 V polarized capacitor is required in general electronic equipment.
- Compact, low-profile equipment — The φ25 × 15 mm low-profile snap-in package fits constrained enclosures while delivering rated capacitance and ripple performance.
- High-temperature environments — Suitable for designs that must operate across −40°C to +105°C and require 2000-hour endurance at 105°C.
Unique Advantages
- Voltage and Capacitance Match — 180 µF at 200 V provides a defined electrical specification for designers targeting that voltage-capacitance point without cross-referencing series variants.
- Predictable Dissipation — Specified tanδ at 20°C and 120 Hz (0.2) supports thermal and loss budgeting in power designs.
- Measured Ripple Ratings — Rated ripple currents for both low (750 mA) and high (1.125 A) frequency bands give clear limits for AC stress and thermal design.
- Endurance at Elevated Temperature — 2000-hour life at 105°C assures sustained performance under prolonged thermal load.
- Production-friendly Packaging — Tray packing and a snap-in radial can simplify handling and assembly in volume manufacturing.
