LGN2Z331MELY25

The LGN2Z331MELY25 is a 330 µF, 180 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It belongs to Nichicon’s LGN series and combines a compact, one‑rank‑smaller case size with high‑temperature endurance for robust performance in demanding environments.

Key attributes include snap‑in mounting for secure board installation, rated operation from −40°C to +105°C, and the ability to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, making it suitable where sustained high‑temperature ripple handling and compact packaging are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF rated capacitance at 180 V provides bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in polarized circuits.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after the test.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal type in a radial can simplifies PCB assembly and mechanical retention.
• Compact Dimensions — Physical size L: 2.5 × D: 2.0 cm with a smaller case ranking versus LGU, enabling denser board layouts where space is constrained.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified operation from −40°C to +105°C (category temperature range shown in product data).
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.2 A at 120 Hz and 1.8 A at 100 kHz to handle both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple conditions.
• Polarized Design & Tolerance — Polarized capacitor with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling for a wide range of general‑purpose designs that require polarized aluminum electrolytics.
• High‑temperature electronic assemblies — Suited for applications where components must tolerate sustained operation at up to 105°C with rated ripple current applied.
• Compact power modules — The one‑rank‑smaller case size and snap‑in mounting help save board space while maintaining required capacitance and voltage rating.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high‑temperature reliability: Rated to withstand 3000 hours of ripple current at 105°C, preserving capacitance and leakage specifications after endurance testing.
• Space‑efficient form factor: One rank smaller than LGU and compact 20 mm × 25 mm footprint (L: 2.5 × D: 2.0 cm) reduces enclosure and board real estate.
• Versatile ripple handling: Dual ripple ratings (1.2 A at 120 Hz, 1.8 A at 100 kHz) support both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple environments.
• Secure, assembly‑friendly termination: Snap‑in terminals provide mechanical retention for reliable PCB mounting in volume production.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs that require restricted‑substance conformance.
