LGJ2F101MELB15

The LGJ2F101MELB15 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGJ series. It provides 100 µF capacitance at a 315 V rating in a low‑profile, φ30 × 15 mm radial can package designed for general‑purpose board‑level applications.

Engineered for elevated operating temperature and ripple conditions, this part delivers a balance of compact footprint, robust ripple current capability, and long endurance for sustained operation up to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 100 µF with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), suitable where a defined bulk capacitance is required.
• Rated Voltage — 315 V DC nominal rating for higher‑voltage circuits within the LGJ series range.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C with a 2000‑hour life/endurance at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — 500 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 715 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting a range of ripple conditions.
• Low Leakage — Typical leakage current listed as 530 µA.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ30 × 15 mm low‑profile), designed for board mounting; supplied in tray packing for mass production.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design for DC filtering and energy storage roles.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose circuits — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in designs that require a 315 V, 100 µF snap‑in electrolytic capacitor.
• High‑temperature environments — Use where sustained operation at up to 105°C and 2000 hours endurance are needed.
• Board‑level power components — Snap‑in radial mounting for board assemblies that require reliable high‑voltage capacitance in a compact, low‑profile can.

Unique Advantages

• 315 V rating — Supports higher DC voltage designs within the LGJ series voltage range.
• Compact low‑profile package — φ30 × 15 mm snap‑in can provides substantial capacitance while minimizing component height on the PCB.
• Robust ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies help manage AC stress across a range of operating conditions.
• High‑temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C enables extended service life in thermally demanding applications.
• Manufacturing friendly — Snap‑in mounting and tray packing support efficient insertion and large‑volume assembly.
• Controlled leakage and tolerance — 530 µA leakage current and ±20% capacitance tolerance provide predictable electrical performance for design margins.
