Overview of LGN2H101MELB25 – Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 100 µF, 500 V
The LGN2H101MELB25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high‑voltage, high‑temperature general purpose use. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 500 V rating in a smaller-sized snap‑in can (φ30×25L) and is optimized for applications that require sustained ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperatures.
Key value propositions include 105 °C rated operation, 3000 hours endurance at 105 °C under rated ripple conditions (per series specification), low leakage behavior, and packaging suited for mass production (tray packing).
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 500 V and ±20% tolerance, suitable for high‑voltage energy storage and filtering in general purpose designs.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation up to 105 °C with an endurance specification of 3000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple and D.C. bias as defined for the LGN series.
- Ripple Current Performance — Specified low‑frequency ripple current of 650 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 929.5 mA at 100 kHz to support sustained AC ripple conditions.
- Low Leakage — Initial leakage current specified at 670 µA, supporting stable long‑term performance after voltage application.
- Snap‑in Can Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in mounting for secure mechanical and electrical installation; part supplied in tray packing for production assembly.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for lead‑restricted applications.
Typical Applications
- High‑voltage power subsystems — General purpose smoothing and energy storage where 500 V ratings and elevated temperature endurance are required.
- Industrial power assemblies — Reliable ripple handling and long life at 105 °C for power conversion modules and related equipment.
- Mass‑production assemblies — Tray packing and snap‑in mounting support efficient board or chassis assembly in production environments.
Unique Advantages
- Rated for extended high‑temperature operation: 3000 hours endurance at 105 °C under rated ripple conditions provides predictable long‑term behavior in hot environments.
- High voltage capability: 500 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage circuits without bespoke component selection.
- Balanced ripple handling: Clear low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (650 mA @ 120 Hz, 929.5 mA @ 100 kHz) allow designers to evaluate performance across operating conditions.
- Compact snap‑in form factor: φ30×25L snap‑in can offers a smaller‑sized option within the LGN series for space‑conscious designs while keeping robust mounting.
- Low initial leakage: 670 µA specified leakage current supports stable DC performance and predictable post‑install behavior.
- Production‑friendly packaging: Tray packing simplifies handling and throughput for mass production runs.
Why Choose LGN2H101MELB25?
