Overview of LGNW6101MELY30 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap‑In, 420 V 100 µF
The LGNW6101MELY30 is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package designed for general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 420 V rating with a compact footprint and is specified for operation to 105°C.
Key value comes from its combination of high voltage capability, compact snap‑in mounting, and long endurance under rated ripple current — making it suitable for equipment that requires reliable bulk capacitance and ripple handling in a compact package. The part is RoHS compliant.
Key Features
- Electrical Rating: 100 µF capacitance at a 420 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, specified as a polarized device.
- High‑Temperature Endurance: Designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, supporting long life under elevated operating temperature conditions.
- Snap‑In Radial Can Package: Snap‑in terminal type (radial, can – snap‑in) for secure PCB retention and simplified assembly in through‑hole power boards.
- Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 660 mA at 120 Hz and 943.8 mA at 100 kHz, allowing effective AC ripple handling across common power frequencies.
- Operating Range and Size: Operating temperature range of −25°C to +105°C with compact dimensions (L: 3 × D: 2 cm) and a seated height maximum of 1.181 inch.
- Compliance: RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose power circuits: Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling for general‑purpose power electronics requiring a 420 V, 100 µF polarized capacitor.
- Industrial equipment: Use where compact, high‑voltage electrolytic capacitance is needed and long endurance at elevated temperature (105°C) is required.
- Power supply filtering: Suited to smoothing and decoupling tasks in through‑hole PCB designs that benefit from snap‑in mounting and rated ripple current capability.
Unique Advantages
- Long endurance at high temperature: 3000‑hour rated life at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable aging for high‑temperature deployments.
- High voltage, compact size: 420 V rating combined with a one‑rank smaller case size (series characteristic) delivers space savings without compromising voltage capability.
- Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 100 kHz support performance across common power frequencies and switching conditions.
- Secure through‑hole mounting: Snap‑in terminal construction simplifies PCB assembly and mechanical retention for power modules and enclosures.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs targeting current environmental regulatory requirements.
