LGN2E102MELC35

The LGN2E102MELC35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGN series, designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It provides a polarized 1 mF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a compact snap‑in radial can package.

Engineered for elevated operating temperatures and sustained ripple conditions, this component withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C and is compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863). It delivers a balance of capacitance, voltage handling and mechanical retention for board‑level power applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for reliable energy storage and decoupling in polarized circuits.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +105°C with validated endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Handles 2.2 A at 120 Hz and 3.3 A at 100 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple on DC rails.
• Snap‑in, Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal type and radial can package for secure board mounting and mechanical stability in through‑hole assembly.
• Compact Footprint — One rank smaller case size than the LGU series with package dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm, enabling denser board layouts where space is constrained.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulatory compliance in restricted substance applications.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronics — Suited for general‑purpose polarized capacitor needs where a 250 V, 1 mF snap‑in solution is required.
• Industrial equipment — Applicable in equipment that requires components rated to +105°C and long endurance under rated ripple current.
• Power modules and assemblies — Used in assemblies needing robust ripple handling and secure snap‑in mounting for through‑hole construction.

Unique Advantages

• Validated high‑temperature life: Endurance tested for 3000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable performance under sustained elevated temperatures.
