LGN2P102MELA50

The LGN2P102MELA50 from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal, large-can aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGN series. It delivers 1 mF capacitance at a 220 V rating in a compact radial can with snap-in mounting, designed for general-purpose power applications that require bulk capacitance and robust ripple handling.

Key value propositions include high ripple-current capability across low and high frequencies, long high-temperature endurance, and a smaller case footprint compared with the LGU series — all with RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF (1000 µF) rated at 220 V, providing substantial bulk capacitance for power filtering and energy storage in general-purpose designs.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can-style construction with snap-in terminals for secure PCB retention and straightforward assembly.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating temperature range of −40 °C to +105 °C with the ability to withstand 3000 hours application of rated ripple current at 105 °C.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 2.33 A at 120 Hz and 3.495 A at 100 kHz, supporting both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Electrical Characteristics — Polarized capacitor with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and series tan δ specification of 0.15 max for rated voltages 160–420 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• RoHS Compliance & Series Advantages — Compliant with RoHS directives and offered in a package one rank smaller than the LGU series for reduced board footprint.
• Physical Size — Dimension approximately L: 5 × D: 2.5 cm, suitable for installations where compact large-can capacitors are required.

Typical Applications

• Power supply bulk filtering — Use as bulk capacitance and smoothing in AC/DC and DC/DC power stages where 220 V rated voltage and 1 mF capacitance are required.
• Industrial power electronics — Suitable for general-purpose use in control and power conversion equipment that benefits from long endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Energy storage and decoupling — Effective for applications that need polarized, high-capacitance components with reliable ripple-current handling across frequency ranges.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Rated for 3000 hours under rated ripple current at 105 °C, supporting prolonged operation in hot environments.
• Broad ripple handling: Explicit ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz (2.33 A) and 100 kHz (3.495 A) provide quantifiable performance for low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Compact large-can footprint: One rank smaller case size than the LGU series delivers the capacitance needed while reducing board space.
• Industry-compliant: RoHS directive compliant for regulatory alignment in global product designs.
• Snap-in mounting: Robust terminal retention simplifies assembly and improves mechanical stability on the PCB.
