Overview of LGN2C391MELY25 – Snap‑in 105°C Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 160 V, 390 µF
The LGN2C391MELY25 is a 390 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It combines a compact 20 × 25 mm footprint with a 105 °C operating rating and an endurance specification tailored for sustained ripple current operation.
Engineered for assemblies that require high‑temperature endurance and secure snap‑in mounting, this part offers a balance of capacitance, voltage rating and size for power and general‑purpose circuit use where reliable bulk capacitance is needed.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 390 µF rated capacitance at 160 V, suitable where substantial bulk storage is required within a mid‑voltage rail.
- High operating temperature — Rated for –40 °C to +105 °C, enabling use in higher‑temperature environments within its rated conditions.
- Long endurance at temperature — Specified to withstand 3000 hours with rated ripple current at 105 °C, with characteristics retained within datasheet limits after the endurance test.
- Ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 1.28 A at 120 Hz and 1.92 A at 100 kHz, supporting continuous AC ripple demands within the specified limits.
- Compact snap‑in package — Radial can, snap‑in terminal construction in a 20 × 25 mm (D × L) package (2.0 × 2.5 cm), providing secure board retention and a reduced footprint relative to larger series members.
- Polarized design & tolerance — Polarized electrolytic capacitor with ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
- RoHS compliant — Manufactured in compliance with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Low leakage — Typical leakage current for this code is 0.74 mA (after standard stabilization procedure), consistent with series specifications.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose power circuits — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in general‑purpose power designs where a 160 V, 390 µF capacitor is required.
- Industrial electronic assemblies — Fits applications that demand reliable high‑temperature performance and secure snap‑in mounting.
- Power distribution modules — Used where stable capacitance and defined ripple current capability at elevated temperature are important for circuit stability.
Unique Advantages
- High‑temperature endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current, delivering prolonged stability in elevated‑temperature environments.
- Compact footprint: One rank smaller case size than the LGU series, providing space savings while maintaining the required capacitance and voltage rating.
- Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz (1.28 A and 1.92 A respectively), enabling predictable thermal and electrical performance under AC stress.
- Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in terminals simplify PCB assembly and improve mechanical retention for vertical can installations.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in designs requiring restricted‑substance compliance.
- Clear specification set: Measured parameters such as leakage, tan δ limits, and endurance are defined in the LGN series documentation for engineering verification.
