LGN2P102MELC30

The LGN2P102MELC30 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It offers a 1 mF capacitance at 220 V in a smaller-sized snap-in can optimized for space-conscious assemblies.

Built for elevated-temperature operation, this part is rated for –40°C to +105°C and is specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C. The component is RoHS compliant for regulatory alignment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF capacitance rated at 220 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in polarized circuits.
• High-temperature endurance — Rated for operation up to 105°C with an endurance specification of 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Rated ripple current — 2.33 A at 120 Hz and 3.495 A at 100 kHz, supporting sustained ripple handling in power circuits.
• Compact snap-in package — Radial, snap-in can package in a smaller-sized case (one rank smaller than LGU) for simplified PCB installation and mechanical retention.
• Operating temperature range — –40°C to +105°C, suitable for a wide range of thermal environments within the specified limits.
• Tolerance & polarization — Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%; polarized construction for DC applications.
• Physical dimensions — Size roughly L: 3 × D: 3.5 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.181 inch for layout planning.
• Regulatory compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Used where a polarized snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk filtering and smoothing in power circuits.
• High-temperature installations — Suited to applications that demand continuous performance up to 105°C, with qualification for 3000 hours under rated ripple current at that temperature.
• Space-conscious assemblies — The smaller-sized snap-in can is appropriate for designs that require reduced case footprint compared with larger series variants.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting long-term stability in hot operating environments.
• Robust ripple handling — Clear ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz enable selection based on expected frequency content in the application.
• Compact, installation-friendly package — Snap-in radial can provides mechanical retention and a smaller case size for denser PCB layouts.
• Clear performance margins — Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and defined leakage/tan δ endurance criteria from series specifications aid predictable design margins.
• Regulatory alignment — RoHS compliance supports placement in products that require restricted-substance conformity.

Why Choose LGN2P102MELC30?

The LGN2P102MELC30 delivers a balanced combination of capacitance, voltage rating, and thermal endurance for general-purpose power applications that require a polarized snap-in electrolytic solution.
