Overview of LGJ2E101MELZ15 – 250 V, 100 µF Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (Low‑Profile)
The LGJ2E101MELZ15 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LGJ series, designed for general‑purpose power applications. It combines a low‑profile φ22 × 15 mm can with a 250 V rated voltage and 100 µF capacitance for use in space‑constrained assemblies that require high voltage handling and sustained thermal performance.
Key value comes from its 105°C operating rating, 2000‑hour endurance at elevated temperature, and measurable ripple and leakage characteristics—features that help maintain stability in 250 V power rails and chassis‑mounted designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- High Temperature Performance: Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C (applicable for 200 V and 250 V parts), supporting elevated‑temperature environments.
- Endurance: 2000 hours life/ endurance at 105°C, providing predictable ageing characteristics for long‑running equipment.
- Ripple Handling: 500 mA low‑frequency ripple current at 120 Hz and 750 mA high‑frequency ripple current at 50 kHz, enabling effective smoothing in a variety of ripple spectra.
- Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 470 µA, measurable for quality control and baseline circuit budgeting.
- Mounting & Package: Snap‑in radial can (φ22 × 15L mm) designed for secure chassis or PC board mounting; supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.
- Polarized Design: Polar electrolytic construction intended for DC applications requiring polarity‑aware capacitors.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose power circuits: Suitable for smoothing and energy storage in 250 V DC rails where a low‑profile, snap‑in capacitor is required.
- Chassis‑mounted power supplies: Snap‑in mounting and tray packing support secure installation and handling in enclosed power assemblies.
- Industrial equipment: Designed for sustained operation at up to 105°C and 2000 hours rated life, fitting continuous‑duty industrial power designs.
Unique Advantages
- Low‑profile form factor: φ22 × 15 mm size gives a compact footprint for space‑constrained layouts while preserving capacitance and voltage rating.
- High temperature endurance: 105°C rating with 2000 h life supports durability in thermally demanding installations.
- Measurable ripple capability: Defined ripple current specs at both low and high frequencies (500 mA @120 Hz, 750 mA @50 kHz) help designers match the part to expected ripple conditions.
- Predictable leakage behavior: Specified leakage current (470 µA) enables reliable power budgeting and diagnostics.
- Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial, can‑snap‑in packaging simplifies mechanical retention in chassis or board assemblies.
- Tray packing for production: Supplied in trays to streamline handling and assembly processes.
