Overview of LGN2W121MELZ35 – 450V Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 120µF
The LGN2W121MELZ35 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It combines a 450V voltage rating with 120 µF capacitance in a compact φ22 × 35 mm can, delivering high-voltage energy storage and filtering capability where robust ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperature are required.
Engineered for continuous operation up to 105°C with a rated endurance of 3000 hours, this part addresses applications that demand sustained performance under DC bias and ripple stress while remaining RoHS compliant.
Key Features
- Electrolytic construction & mounting — Aluminum electrolytic capacitor with snap-in radial can package for secure board mounting and high current handling.
- Rated capacitance & voltage — 120 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at a 450V rated voltage, suitable for high-voltage general-purpose circuits.
- Loss characteristic (tan δ) — tan δ ≤ 0.20 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, providing a defined dissipation factor for design calculations.
- Ripple current capability — 720 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.03 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support substantial AC superimposed currents during operation.
- Low leakage — Specified leakage current of 690 µA for stable performance after voltage application.
- High-temperature endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, demonstrating long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
- Operating temperature range — −25°C to +105°C to accommodate a wide span of ambient conditions for general-purpose equipment.
- Compact package & packing — φ22 × 35 mm can size (L: 3.5 × D: 2.2 cm) in tray packing and available for mass production deployment.
- Environmental compliance — RoHS-compliant construction.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power circuits — Energy storage and smoothing in circuits that require a 450V-rated electrolytic capacitor with robust ripple handling.
- High-voltage filtering — Bulk filtering and decoupling where 120 µF at 450V and defined tan δ are required for stable operation.
- Industrial power equipment — Applications needing long endurance at elevated temperature (3000 h at 105°C) while operating under DC bias and ripple stress.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 450V rating enables use in higher-voltage general-purpose designs without changing capacitor family.
- Robust ripple handling: Dual-spec ripple ratings (720 mA at 120 Hz and 1.03 A at 100 kHz) support both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
- Long endurance at temperature: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides predictable lifetime for thermal-stressed designs.
- Compact snap-in package: φ22 × 35 mm snap-in can offers a space-efficient high-voltage solution with secure board retention.
- Controlled loss and leakage: Specified tan δ (≤0.20) and leakage current (690 µA) give measurable parameters for circuit design and reliability calculations.
- RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directive requirements for compliant manufacturing and procurement.
