Overview of LGN2W391MELB50 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap‑in, 105°C
The LGN2W391MELB50 is a 390 µF, 450 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers sustained performance at elevated temperatures with rated ripple endurance and a compact, snap‑in package.
This part is optimized for applications that require high-voltage capacitance with long-term stability up to 105°C and is RoHS compliant.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 390 µF rated capacitance at 450 V, providing bulk energy storage for high‑voltage circuits.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting long service life in elevated temperature environments.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.61 A at 120 Hz and 2.302 A at 100 kHz, enabling robust handling of AC ripple on DC bus lines.
- Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package for secure board mounting and simplified assembly.
- Operating Range & Polarization — Polarized device with an operating temperature range of −25°C to +105°C and capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
- Regulatory — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Physical Size — Compact dimensions listed as L: 5 × D: 3 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.969 inch for space‑conscious designs.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and energy storage in high‑voltage DC circuits that require 390 µF at 450 V.
- High‑temperature environments — Circuits operating up to 105°C where long ripple endurance (3000 hours at 105°C) is required.
- Board‑mounted power assemblies — Snap‑in radial mounting for secure mechanical installation and straightforward PCB integration.
Unique Advantages
- Long high‑temperature reliability — Endurance specified for 3000 hours at 105°C helps ensure stable capacitance and leakage over extended elevated‑temperature operation.
- High voltage capability — 450 V rating supports demanding DC bus and power conversion applications.
- Strong ripple handling — Dual ripple current ratings (120 Hz and 100 kHz) provide clear performance expectations across common ripple frequencies.
- Compact snap‑in package — Radial, snap‑in can and a smaller case size (one rank smaller than LGU in the series) reduce board footprint without sacrificing performance.
- RoHS compliance — Meets current RoHS requirements for restricted substances, supporting regulatory alignment.
