Overview of LGJ2E391MELC20 – 250 V Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 390 µF

The LGJ2E391MELC20 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LGJ series, featuring a low-profile φ35 × 20 mm radial can. It provides 390 µF capacitance at a 250 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance for general purpose applications.

Designed for durability in elevated temperatures, this part supports an operating range of −40°C to +105°C, with a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C. It offers specified ripple current handling and low leakage current suitable for board-level power modules and assemblies requiring a robust, compact electrolytic solution.

Key Features

  • Electrical Performance 390 µF nominal capacitance at 250 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, providing stable bulk capacitance for general-purpose designs.
  • Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 1410 mA at low frequency (120 Hz) and 2115 mA at high frequency (50 kHz) for handling AC ripple within specified frequency ranges.
  • Low Leakage Leakage current specified at 930 µA, measured after rated voltage application, supporting predictable standby and bias characteristics.
  • Thermal and Endurance Operating temperature −40°C to +105°C with 3000 hours rated life at 105°C, enabling sustained performance in elevated-temperature environments.
  • Package & Mounting Low-profile radial can, snap-in terminal type, physical size φ35 × 20 mm for compact, board-mounted power applications.

Typical Applications

  • General Purpose For use in designs that require a 390 µF, 250 V snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact radial can.
  • High-Temperature Assemblies Suitable where operation up to +105°C and 3000 hour endurance at 105°C are required.
  • Board-Level Power Modules Intended for mounting where snap-in terminals and specified ripple current handling are needed for reliable operation.

Unique Advantages

  • Robust voltage and capacitance combination 390 µF at 250 V provides substantial bulk capacitance for mid-voltage circuits while maintaining compact dimensions.
  • High ripple handling Dual ripple current ratings (1410 mA at 120 Hz and 2115 mA at 50 kHz) allow designers to account for ripple across different operating frequencies.
  • Predictable leakage performance Specified leakage current (930 µA) helps in designing stable bias and standby behaviors.
  • Temperature endurance 3000 hours rated life at 105°C and a −40°C lower limit support use in thermally demanding environments.
  • Compact, serviceable form factor φ35 × 20 mm snap-in radial can provides a low-profile option for constrained board real estate while enabling secure mechanical mounting.

Why Choose LGJ2E391MELC20?
