LGN2X121MELC35

The LGN2X121MELC35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LGN series, designed for general‑purpose use where a compact, high‑voltage electrolytic is required. It is rated 120 µF at 600 V and specified for operation up to 105°C.

This part combines a snap‑in can package with a smaller case profile (one rank smaller than LGU in the series) and is RoHS compliant, offering a balance of voltage handling, capacitance, and elevated‑temperature endurance for demanding board‑level power applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 120 µF capacitance rated at 600 V, suitable for high‑voltage circuit requirements.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to 105°C. For the 600 V version, endurance is specified as 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple handling of 740 mA at 120 Hz and 1.058 A at 100 kHz, supporting AC ripple stress in power circuits.
• Snap‑in Mounting & Package — Radial can with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting and mechanical stability.
• Compact Case — One rank smaller case size than LGU series parts; physical footprint approximately 3.5 × 3.5 cm (D × L).
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polar type with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Circuits — Suitable where a compact, high‑voltage electrolytic capacitor with snap‑in mounting is needed.
• Board‑Level Energy Storage — Provides bulk capacitance for designs requiring 120 µF at 600 V within a reduced case size.
• High‑Temperature Environments — For applications that require operation up to 105°C and defined endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 600 V rating supports higher‑voltage system designs without upsizing to larger components.
• Elevated‑Temperature Endurance: Specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C for the 600 V part delivers predictable life performance under thermal stress.
• Optimized Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (740 mA at 120 Hz; 1.058 A at 100 kHz) allow designers to assess AC stress for filtering and smoothing tasks.
• Space‑Efficient Packaging: One rank smaller case than LGU series parts combined with snap‑in terminals reduces board area while maintaining robust mounting.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity simplifies environmental compliance in product development.
