LGN2H101MELA30

The LGN2H101MELA30 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor designed for high-voltage, high-temperature service. It delivers 100 µF at a 500 V rating in a compact radial, can-type snap-in package with a maximum operating temperature of 105°C.

Engineered for general-purpose assemblies that require polarized high-voltage capacitance with robust endurance, this part combines high ripple-current capability and a long rated life at elevated temperature while meeting RoHS requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 100 µF nominal capacitance rated at 500 V.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to D.C. bias plus rated ripple current (parts at 600 V have a different endurance schedule noted in series documentation).
• Snap-in Radial Can Package: Snap-in terminal mounting for secure PCB retention; compact case size (approximately 3.0 cm length × 2.5 cm diameter) and one rank smaller case size compared with the LGU series.
• Ripple Current Capability: Specified ripple current of 650 mA at 120 Hz and 929.5 mA at 100 kHz, supporting AC ripple handling at both low and high frequencies.
• Operating Temperature Range: –25°C to +105°C for the 500 V rating.
• Capacitance Tolerance: ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current meets I ≤ 3/√(C) µA after 5 minutes' application of rated voltage at 20°C (C = rated capacitance in µF).
• Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose high-voltage filtering: Used where a 100 µF, 500 V polarized capacitor with high ripple-current capability and snap-in mounting is required.
• High-temperature assemblies: Suitable for designs that demand continuous operation up to 105°C and long-term endurance at elevated temperature.
• Compact power modules: Where reduced case size matters, this part offers one rank smaller dimensions compared to the LGU series while maintaining rated performance.

Unique Advantages

• Long-term thermal reliability: 3000-hour rated endurance at 105°C provides predictable performance under sustained elevated-temperature stress.
• High-voltage capability in a compact package: 500 V rating combined with a smaller-sized snap-in can enables space-efficient high-voltage designs.
• Strong ripple handling across frequencies: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support designs exposed to low- and high-frequency ripple components.
• Secure PCB mounting: Snap-in terminal configuration simplifies board assembly and mechanical retention compared with loose-leaded options.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to relevant RoHS directives for regulatory compliance in applicable markets.
