LGN2X101MELB40

The LGN2X101MELB40 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications. It combines a 100 µF capacitance with a 600 V rated voltage in a smaller case format (one rank smaller than LGU) optimized for high‑voltage, high‑temperature environments.

This part is rated for operation up to 105°C and is specified for 2000 hours at 105°C for 600 V parts, offering measured ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies and RoHS compliance for environmental conformity.

Key Features

• High Voltage Rating — 600 V rated voltage suitable for high‑voltage power circuits requiring robust DC bus or filtering capacitance.
• Capacitance & Tolerance — 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, providing predictable charge storage for power smoothing and decoupling.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified for 2000 hours at 105°C (600 V parts), supporting extended operation in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple currents of 670 mA at 120 Hz and 958.1 mA at 100 kHz deliver verified AC handling for ripple attenuation in power supplies.
• Snap‑In, Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal style and radial can package for secure board mounting and straightforward assembly in power assemblies.
• Compact Physical Size — Smaller‑sized case versus the LGU series; dimensions approximately L: 4 × D: 3 cm and seated height up to 1.575 inch for space‑constrained designs.
• Polarized Design — Polar capacitor suited for DC applications where correct polarity is maintained.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulatory and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in general power electronics where a 600 V rating and high‑temperature operation are required.
• High‑Voltage Power Supplies — Used for filtering and energy storage in high‑voltage DC supplies that need reliable ripple handling and thermal endurance.
• Industrial Power Assemblies — Suitable for power circuits in industrial equipment that operate up to 105°C and demand stable capacitance under applied ripple current.

Unique Advantages

• 600 V capability: Enables use in higher‑voltage designs without series stacking of lower‑voltage parts, simplifying BOM and layout.
• Validated ripple performance: Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide quantifiable AC handling for ripple attenuation and thermal planning.
• Compact, snap‑in form factor: One rank smaller case than LGU and snap‑in terminals reduce board footprint while providing secure mounting for power assemblies.
• High‑temperature endurance: Specified 2000 hours at 105°C for 600 V parts supports longevity in elevated ambient environments.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in products subject to modern environmental regulations.
