LGN2C331MELY25

The LGN2C331MELY25 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, radial can package designed for general-purpose applications. It delivers 330 µF at a 160 V rating in a compact, smaller-sized case compared with the LGU series, and is rated for operation up to 105°C.

Engineered for power assemblies that need robust high-temperature endurance, this part withstands rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105°C while remaining RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Specified to withstand rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105°C; after endurance the capacitance change remains within ±20% and leakage current stays at or below initial specified value.
• Compact Snap-In Package — Radial, can snap-in mounting with a 20 × 25 mm (D × L) footprint (2.0 × 2.5 cm), one rank smaller case size than the LGU series for denser PCB layouts.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.17 A at 120 Hz and 1.755 A at 100 kHz for effective AC stress handling in power circuits.
• Leakage Current — Typical leakage current listed as 0.68 mA for the 330 µF, 160 V size after standard test procedures.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified operating range from −40°C to +105°C for the 160 V rating.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polar capacitor construction for DC smoothing and bulk energy storage in polarity-specific circuits.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuitry — For designs requiring bulk capacitance and DC smoothing where a 330 µF, 160 V polarized capacitor is appropriate.
• Power assemblies with limited board space — Compact 20 × 25 mm snap-in can and one-rank-smaller case size help reduce enclosure and PCB footprint.
• High-temperature environments — Suited to circuits that must operate reliably across −40°C to +105°C and sustain ripple stress over long endurance periods.

Unique Advantages

• Proven 3000-hour endurance at 105°C: Provides measurable assurance of performance under sustained high-temperature ripple conditions.
• Compact form factor compared to LGU: Enables denser PCB layouts and simpler mechanical integration where space is constrained.
• High ripple handling across frequency: Rated ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support effective AC ripple management in a range of switching and line-frequency applications.
• Low leakage for its class: Specified leakage current of 0.68 mA helps minimize standby losses and voltage drift in DC circuits.
• Wide operating temperature range: Operation from −40°C to +105°C suits designs that must tolerate broad environmental conditions.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current restricted substance directive requirements for regulated markets.
