Overview of LGN2G271MELC25 – 400 V, 270 µF Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGN2G271MELC25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications. It combines a 400 V rated voltage with 270 µF capacitance in a compact φ35 × 25 mm can, offering high ripple tolerance and long life at elevated temperatures.
Engineered for robust performance, this capacitor delivers high low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current capability, low leakage, and a 3000‑hour endurance rating at 105°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and power electronics designs that require stable bulk capacitance and reliable thermal endurance.
Key Features
- High Voltage & Capacitance — 270 µF nominal capacitance rated at 400 V for use where elevated DC bus or filter voltage is required.
- Snap‑In Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (φ35 × 25 mm) form factor for secure board mounting and easy assembly; supplied in tray packing for production use.
- High Ripple Current Capability — Supports 1.22 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.745 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to handle significant AC ripple and switching currents in power circuits.
- Low Leakage — Specified leakage current of 980 µA after rated voltage application, aiding in efficient DC performance and reduced self‑discharge.
- Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions; meets endurance requirements after D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
- Electrical Stability — Capacitance tolerance of ±20% and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) up to 0.15 (max.) at 120 Hz and 20°C, supporting predictable behavior in filtering and energy storage roles.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range — Operational from −25°C to +105°C for use across varied thermal environments.
- Regulatory Status — RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental restriction requirements.
Typical Applications
- High‑voltage power supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing in equipment that requires a 400 V rated capacitor with substantial capacitance.
- Industrial power electronics — DC link and filter applications where high ripple current handling and thermal endurance at 105°C are required.
- Switching power converters — Energy buffering and ripple attenuation for converters and inverters operating with significant switching and AC ripple components.
- General‑purpose electronic equipment — Reliable bulk capacitance for a broad range of general‑purpose designs specified as such in the product data.
Unique Advantages
- High voltage capability: 400 V rating enables use in elevated DC bus and high‑voltage filtering applications without series stacking.
- Robust ripple handling: Dual rated ripple currents (1.22 A at 120 Hz and 1.745 A at 100 kHz) address both mains‑frequency and switching‑frequency stress modes.
- Long thermal endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions supports longevity in high‑temperature installations.
- Compact, production‑ready package: φ35 × 25 mm snap‑in can in tray packing simplifies assembly for mass production environments.
- Predictable electrical characteristics: Defined tan δ and leakage current specifications provide designers with verifiable performance parameters for system simulations and reliability assessments.
- RoHS compliant: Meets environmental restriction requirements for modern manufacturing and deployment.
