Overview of LGJ2E271MELB20 – 270 µF, 250 V Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGJ2E271MELB20 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LGJ series, designed for low‑profile applications requiring a 250 V rated voltage and 270 µF capacitance. Built for general‑purpose power applications, it provides high ripple handling and extended endurance in a compact φ30 × 20 mm can.
Engineered for reliability, this part supports an operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C and a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for production deployment where thermal robustness and consistent performance are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 270 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- High Ripple Capacity: Rated ripple current of 1.04 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.56 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective AC ripple suppression in power circuits.
- Temperature & Endurance: Operating range −40°C to +105°C with a 3000 hour lifetime at 105°C for long‑term stability under elevated temperatures.
- Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 770 µA after application of rated voltage, consistent with electrolytic performance requirements.
- Package & Mounting: φ30 × 20 mm low‑profile radial can with snap‑in terminals for secure through‑hole mounting; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
- Series Attributes: Snap‑in terminal type and low‑profile sizing consistent with the LGJ series’ 200–450 V range and wide capacitance offering.
Typical Applications
- General Purpose Power Systems — Use as a general‑purpose aluminum electrolytic for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power supply assemblies.
- Industrial Electronics — Suitable for industrial control and power electronics where elevated temperature endurance and high ripple capability are required.
- Commercial Equipment — Applicable in commercial power modules and assemblies that need a compact, snap‑in electrolytic solution with tray packing for production lines.
Unique Advantages
- High Ripple Handling: 1.04 A (120 Hz) and 1.56 A (50 kHz) ratings provide measurable AC ripple capacity for demanding power applications.
- Compact Low‑Profile Form Factor: φ30 × 20 mm can delivers significant capacitance in a short, low‑height package for constrained layouts.
- Extended High‑Temperature Endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C supports reliable performance in thermally stressed environments.
- Snap‑In Mounting for Robust Assembly: Snap‑in terminals enable secure through‑hole installation and ease of handling in automated production.
- Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production status streamline procurement and manufacturing logistics.
