LGJ2Z331MELC15

The LGJ2Z331MELC15 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LGJ series, designed as a low‑profile solution for general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 330 µF capacitance at a 180 V rating with ±20% tolerance and is optimized for applications requiring elevated temperature endurance and ripple handling.

Key attributes include a compact φ35 × 15 mm can, a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C, specified ripple current performance at both low and high frequencies, and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C. Tray packing and mass production availability support volume assembly requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF nominal capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage in general‑purpose designs.
• Snap‑in Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ35 × 15 mm) for secure board retention and straightforward mechanical mounting in assemblies.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated to operate from −40°C to 105°C with a life/endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting prolonged high‑temperature operation.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 1.10 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 1.65 A at 50 kHz, allowing reliable ripple handling across common power frequencies.
• Controlled Leakage — Specified leakage current of 730 µA, useful for predictable DC performance after voltage application.
• Manufacturing & Packaging — Supplied in tray packing and available for mass production, enabling efficient procurement and assembly for volume builds.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Modules — Bulk smoothing and energy storage in general‑purpose power designs where a 180 V rating and 330 µF capacitance are required.
• Ripple Filtering — AC ripple attenuation in power rails, leveraging 1.10 A (120 Hz) and 1.65 A (50 kHz) ripple current ratings for common low and high frequency conditions.
• High‑Temperature Environments — Designs operating up to 105°C that require sustained performance and a 2000‑hour rated endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Compact low‑profile form factor — The φ35 × 15 mm can minimizes board height while providing substantial capacitance for space‑constrained assemblies.
• Broad temperature range — −40°C to 105°C operation supports deployment across varied thermal environments without specification changes.
• Defined ripple performance — Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (1.10 A at 120 Hz, 1.65 A at 50 kHz) enable predictable selection for AC and switching applications.
• Predictable leakage behavior — A specified leakage current (730 µA) helps designers account for steady‑state losses in power budgets.
• Production‑ready packaging — Tray packing and mass production availability streamline assembly and supply chain planning for volume builds.
