Overview of LGN2Z102MELA40 – Snap-in 1000 µF 180 V Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGN2Z102MELA40 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1000 µF capacitance at a 180 V rating. Designed for general-purpose applications, it provides high ripple current capability and long-term endurance at elevated temperatures.
Key attributes include snap-in mounting in a radial can package, a compact φ25 × 40 mm footprint, RoHS compliance, and mass-production tray packing for streamlined assembly and procurement.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 1000 µF rated at 180 V to support bulk energy storage and DC bus applications within the specified voltage.
- High Temperature Endurance: Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with a guaranteed lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C.
- Ripple Current Performance: 2200 mA rated ripple at low frequency (120 Hz) and 3300 mA at high frequency (100 kHz), enabling robust AC ripple handling across different frequencies.
- Low Loss & Leakage: Specified tan δ of 0.15 (measurement at 120 Hz, 20°C) and an initial leakage current of 1270 µA for predictable loss and self-discharge behavior.
- Mounting & Package: Snap-in terminal, radial can (φ25 × 40 mm) for secure board retention and straightforward assembly in high-volume builds.
- Tolerance & Polarization: ±20% capacitance tolerance and polarized construction for correct orientation in DC circuits.
- Regulatory: RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronics: Suitable for designs that require reliable bulk capacitance and ripple handling in general-purpose circuits.
- Power systems operating at elevated temperatures: Useful where continuous operation up to 105°C and 3000-hour endurance are required.
- High-ripple environments: Applicable in equipment that subjects capacitors to significant low- and high-frequency ripple currents.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple capacity: 2200 mA (120 Hz) and 3300 mA (100 kHz) ripple ratings reduce the need for parallel components to handle AC stress.
- Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature installations.
- Compact snap-in package: φ25 × 40 mm radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies mechanical mounting for production assemblies.
- Controlled loss and leakage: Low tan δ (0.15) and specified leakage current (1270 µA) contribute to stable performance and predictable thermal behavior.
- Production-ready packaging: Tray packing and mass production status support scalable procurement and assembly workflows.
