LGJ2E181MELB15

The LGJ2E181MELB15 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, low-profile can package designed for general-purpose power electronics. It provides 180 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with ±20% tolerance and is optimized for applications requiring elevated temperature endurance and substantial ripple handling.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range from –40°C to +105°C, a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C, and engineered ripple current capability for both low- and high-frequency environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 180 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 250 V for general-purpose energy storage.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +105°C with a 2000 hour life specification at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 750 mA at low frequency (120 Hz) and 1.125 A at high frequency (50 kHz) to support AC ripple demands.
• Leakage Performance — Specified leakage current of 630 µA, measured after voltage application conditions in the product data.
• Packaging & Mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can package supplied in tray packing for volume manufacturing and secure PCB mounting.
• Compact Low-Profile Size — Dimension φ30 × 15L (D × L) for space-constrained assemblies.
• Manufacturer — Produced by Nichicon as part of the LGJ series, intended for mass production availability.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems — Suitable for designs that require 250 V, 180 µF electrolytic capacitance in a snap-in package.
• Industrial equipment — Used in assemblies where elevated temperature endurance and dependable ripple current capability are required.
• Power conversion modules — Applicable to modules that demand a compact, high-voltage electrolytic solution with defined leakage and ripple specifications.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C supports demanding thermal environments and predictable aging characteristics.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at both low (750 mA at 120 Hz) and high frequency (1.125 A at 50 kHz) provide design flexibility across switching and line-frequency conditions.
• Compact low-profile form: φ30 × 15L package enables tighter component packing in assemblies where board real estate is limited.
• Snap-in radial can: Robust snap-in terminal mounting simplifies installation and supports production-line assembly with tray packing.
• Clear electrical limits: Defined leakage current (630 µA) and ±20% capacitance tolerance allow predictable electrical behavior for system-level design margins.
• Manufacturer backing: Part of Nichicon’s LGJ series, providing consistency across similar product offerings for volume designs.
