LGN2X820MELC25

The LGN2X820MELC25 is a Nichicon LGN series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal can designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It is a polarized, high-voltage capacitor rated at 600 V with 82 µF capacitance and is engineered for elevated-temperature operation up to 105°C.

This smaller-sized snap-in unit (one rank smaller than LGU) offers high ripple-current capability and RoHS compliance, making it suitable where compact, high-voltage bulk capacitance and thermal endurance are required.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance and Tolerance — 82 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing predictable bulk storage for high-voltage circuits.
• High Voltage Rating — 600 V rated voltage suitable for high-voltage DC applications within the LGN series range.
• High Temperature Endurance — Specified operating temperature range to 105°C; lifetime at 105°C is 2000 hours for parts rated at 600 V, per the LGN series endurance specification.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 610 mA at 120 Hz and 872.3 mA at 100 kHz, supporting sustained AC ripple stress in DC-biased applications.
• Snap-In, Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal type in a radial can (snap-in) package for secure board mounting and robust mechanical retention.
• Compact Dimensions — Physical size L: 2.5 cm × D: 3.5 cm (25 × 35 mm) with a seated height up to 2.5 cm, offering a one-rank-smaller case compared to LGU for space-constrained designs.
• Polarized Design — Polar capacitor intended for DC applications where polarity is required.
• RoHS Compliant — Complies with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose high-voltage circuits — Provides bulk capacitance where a 600 V, 82 µF polarized capacitor is required.
• High-temperature environments — Suited to designs requiring operation up to 105°C with rated lifetime data provided for 600 V parts.
• Board-mounted snap-in installations — Used where a radial, snap-in can is preferred for mechanical stability and ease of assembly.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 600 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC circuits without series stacking of lower-voltage parts.
• Compact, space-saving form: One rank smaller case size than LGU and 25 × 35 mm footprint reduces board area for equivalent capacitance.
• Specified ripple endurance: Measured ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz help designers assess thermal and lifetime impact under real ripple conditions.
• Elevated-temperature rating: Rated to 105°C with defined lifetime (2000 hours at 105°C for 600 V parts) for predictable long-term performance.
• Robust mounting: Snap-in radial can package provides dependable mechanical retention for applications requiring secure board attachment.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports designs targeting restricted-substance requirements.
