LGN2P271MELY30

The LGN2P271MELY30 is a snap-in terminal, large-can aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGN series. It is a polarized, radial can component designed for general-purpose electronic equipment requiring a 270 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating.

Engineered for elevated-temperature operation, this part offers rated performance up to 105°C with endurance verified under rated ripple conditions, making it suitable where long-term stability and reliable ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity – 270 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, and a rated voltage of 220 V.
• High-Temperature Endurance – Rated for operation up to 105°C with a specified endurance of 3000 hours when exposed to D.C. bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Performance – Specified ripple current of 1.08 A at 120 Hz and 1.62 A at 100 kHz, supporting sustained ripple-handling under bias.
• Package & Mounting – Radial, snap-in can package designed for secure snap-in terminal mounting; convenient for chassis- or board-mounted power assemblies.
• Polarized Construction – Polarized electrolytic design for DC smoothing and energy-storage roles in power circuits.
• Environmental Compliance – Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint – One rank smaller case size than the LGU series, providing a more compact option within the LGN family.
• Physical Dimensions – Body dimensions approximately L: 3 × D: 2 cm with a seated height maximum of 1.181 inch, suitable for constrained layouts.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment – Provides bulk capacitance and DC smoothing in a wide range of equipment that requires a 270 µF, 220 V polarized capacitor.
• High-temperature environments – Suits designs where components are exposed to elevated temperatures up to 105°C with verified 3000-hour endurance under rated ripple current.
• Snap-in mounted power assemblies – Snap-in terminal style supports secure mechanical mounting in power supply modules and assemblies that require robust connector retention.

Unique Advantages

• Proven endurance at 105°C: Endurance test of 3000 hours under rated ripple current provides predictable long-term performance in high-temperature applications.
• Measured ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies enable designers to evaluate performance across typical noise/ripple spectra.
• Space-efficient LGN form factor: One rank smaller case size than the LGU series helps reduce enclosure footprint without sacrificing rated voltage or capacitance.
• RoHS-compliant material set: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmental compliance in product assemblies.
• Clear physical specification: Defined package type (radial, can - snap-in), polarization, and precise dimensional data assist in mechanical and layout planning.
