LGL2G331MELA35

The LGL2G331MELA35 is a Nichicon LGL series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal can, offering 330 µF capacitance at 400 V. It is designed for general‑purpose high‑voltage applications that require compact bulk capacitance with a snap‑in mounting style.

Key characteristics include a compact φ25×35 mm can, a rated operating temperature up to 105°C with 2000‑hour endurance at that temperature, low loss (tan δ 0.15), and defined ripple and leakage specifications for dependable performance in power circuits.

Key Features

• Voltage and Capacitance — 330 µF nominal capacitance rated at 400 V for high‑voltage bulk or smoothing applications.
• Snap‑in Can Package — Radial, snap‑in terminal design (φ25×35 mm) for secure board mounting and straightforward assembly.
• High Temperature Endurance — 2000 hours life at 105°C (endurance test conditions specified), suitable for designs that require sustained high‑temperature operation.
• Loss and Leakage — Low loss with tan δ specified at 0.15 and leakage current listed as 1.08 mA, allowing predictable dissipation and standby current behavior.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of approximately 1.07 A at 120 Hz and up to 1.53 A at 50 kHz to support common power‑frequency and higher‑frequency applications.
• Capacitance Tolerance and Polarity — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C; polarized device for correct DC installation.
• Packaging and Production Status — Tray packing; product is in mass production from Nichicon.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage in high‑voltage DC power supplies and front‑end filtering.
• Industrial Power Electronics — DC link or reservoir capacitance where high voltage and sustained temperature endurance are required.
• Inverters and Converters — Filtering and ripple control in medium‑to‑high voltage inverter stages using snap‑in mounting for robust PCB retention.

Unique Advantages

• Compact High‑Voltage Solution: 330 µF at 400 V in a φ25×35 mm can provides significant bulk capacitance in a reduced footprint.
• Designed for Elevated Temperatures: 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C supports long‑term operation in hot environments.
• Predictable Electrical Behavior: Specified tan δ (0.15) and defined leakage current (1.08 mA) enable accurate thermal and leakage budgeting in designs.
• Broad Ripple Handling: Rated ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz offer designers data for both low‑frequency and higher‑frequency ripple scenarios.
• Robust Mechanical Mounting: Snap‑in terminal can simplifies PCB installation and provides mechanical retention for high‑vibration or assembly environments.
• Series Backing: Part of the Nichicon LGL series, which targets 105°C ultra‑smaller‑sized snap‑in capacitors, supporting predictable sourcing and specification continuity.
