Overview of LGNW6121MELY35 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap‑in, 120 µF 420 V, 105°C
The LGNW6121MELY35 is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can package designed for general purpose electronic applications. It delivers 120 µF capacitance at a 420 V rating and is engineered for elevated‑temperature operation up to 105 °C.
Built to withstand extended ripple current stress, this part is specified for 3000 hours of rated ripple current application at 105 °C and is offered in a smaller case profile compared with the LGU series. It is RoHS‑compliant for environmentally conscious designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 120 µF nominal capacitance with a 420 V rated voltage suitable for high‑voltage, polarized applications.
- High‑Temperature Endurance: Endurance specified for 3000 hours at 105 °C when subjected to D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
- Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple current of 810 mA at 120 Hz and 1.158 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under AC ripple conditions.
- Operating Temperature Range: Specified for operation from −25 °C to +105 °C for the 420 V rating.
- Package & Mounting: Snap‑in radial can (snap‑in terminal type) for secure chassis or board mounting; one rank smaller case size than the LGU series.
- Tolerance & Polarization: Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%; polarized design for correct orientation in circuits.
- Leakage Current Standard: Leakage current meets the datasheet formula I ≤ 3/√C µA after standard voltage application (per datasheet specification).
- RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- General Purpose Electronics: Suitable where a polarized high‑voltage electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk energy storage or smoothing in general circuits.
- Power Conditioning: Useful for applications that require sustained ripple handling at elevated temperatures up to 105 °C.
- High‑Voltage Modules: Applicable in equipment and assemblies that need a 420 V rated electrolytic capacitor in a compact snap‑in format.
Unique Advantages
- Extended High‑Temperature Life: Specified 3000‑hour endurance at 105 °C under rated ripple current, supporting reliability in hot operating environments.
- Compact Snap‑In Form Factor: Snap‑in radial can construction with a smaller case size than the LGU series simplifies packaging in space‑constrained designs.
- High Voltage Capability: 420 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage circuits without series stacking.
- Measured Ripple Performance: Published ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide clear guidance for thermal and ripple budgeting.
- Defined Leakage Characteristics: Leakage current specification (I ≤ 3/√C µA after standard conditioning) aids in predictable bias behavior during design.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally driven procurement and manufacturing requirements.
Why Choose LGNW6121MELY35?
LGNW6121MELY35 is targeted at designers and procurement teams that require a robust, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with documented high‑temperature endurance and defined ripple handling. Its snap‑in radial package and smaller case profile provide a space‑efficient solution without sacrificing the long‑term stability expected from the LGN series.
This part is well suited to systems where sustained performance at elevated temperatures and reliable ripple current capability are essential, and where RoHS compliance is required. The clear endurance, operating temperature, and ripple specifications simplify qualification and lifecycle planning.
