LGN2Z272MELC50

The LGN2Z272MELC50 is a snap-in, large-can aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGN series. It delivers 2.7 mF capacitance at a 180 V rating in a radial, snap‑in package designed for general-purpose applications.

Engineered for sustained ripple-current duty, this part is specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C and is compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863). Its compact case is one rank smaller than the LGU series, providing a space-efficient option when snap‑in mounting is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 2.7 mF capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for general-purpose energy storage and decoupling needs.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with a published lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current: 3.1 A at 120 Hz and 4.65 A at 100 kHz, supporting sustained AC stress conditions.
• Snap-In Radial Can Package — Radial, can-type with snap-in terminals for secure board installation and mechanical stability.
• Compact Size — Dimensions L: 5.0 cm × D: 3.5 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.969 inches, described as one rank smaller than the LGU series.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design for correct orientation in DC circuits.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — Intended for general-purpose applications where snap-in mounting and sustained ripple-current endurance are required.
• General Purpose — Suitable for designs needing a 180 V-rated, high-capacitance, polarized capacitor in a compact can package.
• General Purpose — Useful where long-term operation at elevated temperature (up to 105°C) and specified ripple current capability are necessary.

Unique Advantages

• Specified 3000‑hour Endurance at 105°C: Endurance rating documents stability under DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting predictable lifetime planning.
• High Ripple-Current Ratings: 3.1 A at 120 Hz and 4.65 A at 100 kHz provide headroom for sustained AC loading conditions.
• Space-Efficient Package: One rank smaller case than LGU offers reduced board space while maintaining snap-in mechanical retention.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −40°C to 105°C operation accommodates a broad range of thermal environments.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory requirements for restricted substances.
