LGN2D102MELC25

The LGN2D102MELC25 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LGN series, featuring a snap‑in terminal radial can design. It provides 1 mF capacitance at a 200 V rating with polarized construction and is specified for continuous operation up to 105°C.

Designed for general‑purpose power applications, this smaller‑sized LGN part delivers high ripple‑current capability and a long endurance specification for demanding thermal and ripple environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF nominal capacitance rated at 200 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in DC circuits.
• High Temperature Operation — Rated for operation from –40°C to +105°C, suitable for elevated ambient conditions.
• Endurance — Withstands 3000 hours application of rated ripple current at 105°C as specified for the LGN series.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 2.3 A at 120 Hz and 3.45 A at 100 kHz for sustained AC stress handling.
• Compact Snap‑in Package — Radial, snap‑in can package providing robust mechanical mounting and a smaller case size compared to LGU series parts.
• Polarized Construction — Designed for polarized DC applications where large capacitance is required.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Size — Compact footprint with dimensions L: 2.5 × D: 3.5 cm for space‑conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• Power filtering and smoothing — Bulk capacitance and rated ripple current make this capacitor suitable for smoothing DC rails and reducing ripple in power converters.
• General-purpose power electronics — Polarized 1 mF, 200 V rating and 105°C tolerance suit a wide range of general‑purpose power circuits that require durable bulk capacitors.
• Industrial equipment — Long endurance at elevated temperature supports use in industrial control and power systems where sustained ripple and high ambient temperature occur.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable life in thermally stressed installations.
• High ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz help maintain performance under continuous AC stress.
• Smaller case size: One rank smaller than LGU series parts, enabling more compact assemblies without sacrificing capacitance.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in terminals offer a durable mechanical connection for board or chassis mounting.
• Wide operating temperature range: –40°C to +105°C supports deployment across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• RoHS compliance: Meets current RoHS requirements for use in regulatory‑sensitive designs.
