LGN2Z102MELB30

The LGN2Z102MELB30 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, radial can package designed for general-purpose use. It is a smaller-sized, high-temperature rated capacitor engineered to withstand sustained ripple current at elevated temperatures.

Key attributes include a 1 mF capacitance at 180 V, rated operation to 105°C, and endurance for 3000 hours under application of rated ripple current at 105°C. The part is RoHS compliant and is one rank smaller in case size than the LGU series.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage and a tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable bulk energy storage.
• High-temperature endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C to support extended operation under thermal stress.
• Ripple current performance — Rated ripple current: 2.2 A at 120 Hz and 3.3 A at 100 kHz, providing measurable AC stress capability across low and high frequencies.
• Package & mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can (snap-in) package for secure mechanical retention in through-hole assemblies; physical size L: 3 × D: 3 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.181 inch.
• Temperature range — Operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C for broad environmental compatibility.
• Polarization & tolerance — Polarized capacitor with ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Smaller case footprint — One rank smaller case size compared to the LGU series, enabling more compact board layouts.
• Regulatory compliance — Compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose use — Suited for a wide range of general-purpose electronic applications where a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required.
• General-purpose—High-temperature environments — Appropriate where components must tolerate continuous ripple current at 105°C for extended durations.
• General-purpose—Compact assemblies — Useful when a smaller case size than the LGU series is needed to save board space.
• General-purpose—Snap-in mounting — Fits assemblies requiring snap-in radial can mounting for mechanical stability and ease of through-hole installation.

Unique Advantages

• Extended endurance at 105°C — The 3000-hour rated endurance under applied ripple current provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature applications.
• Measurable ripple capability — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz (2.2 A) and 100 kHz (3.3 A) allow designers to match the capacitor to expected AC stress profiles.
• Space-efficient form factor — One rank smaller case size than LGU helps reduce PCB real estate without sacrificing rated performance.
• Robust thermal range — −40°C to +105°C operating range covers a broad set of environmental conditions for general-purpose equipment.
• Through-hole snap-in convenience — Snap-in terminal and radial can design provide secure mechanical retention for vertical mounting and simplified assembly.
• RoHS compliance — Conforms to RoHS material restrictions for regulatory alignment in commercial and industrial products.
