LGR2E102MELC45

The LGR2E102MELC45 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal, aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 1000 µF and 250 V. It is part of the LGR long‑life series and is designed for general‑purpose applications that require high capacitance, high voltage handling, and extended operational life in elevated temperatures.

This radial can, snap‑in package delivers long life (10,000 hours at 105°C), wide operating temperature range, and robust ripple current capability, making it suitable for assemblies where durable power‑side bulk capacitance is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and a tolerance of ±20% for sizing and design margin.
• High‑Temperature Long Life — Rated for 10,000 hours at 105°C, supporting prolonged operation at elevated temperatures.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −40°C to 105°C operation to accommodate a broad range of environments.
• Ripple Current Performance — 2.2 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.3 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to handle significant AC ripple on DC rails.
• Loss & Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.15 max at 20°C, 120 Hz, and a specified leakage current of 1500 µA for predictable electrical behavior.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can style with snap‑in terminals (φ35 × 45 mm footprint; L: 4.5 × D: 3.5 cm) for secure board mounting and tray packing for production handling.
• Compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction for regulatory alignment in applicable regions.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling where 250 V, 1000 µF capacitance and high ripple current capability are required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Long‑life capacitance for assemblies operating at elevated temperatures up to 105°C and needing durable DC link or filter components.
• High‑Voltage DC Bus Support — Use in equipment that requires stable high‑voltage bulk capacitance with controlled leakage and dissipation factor.

Unique Advantages

• Long operational life: 10,000 hours at 105°C provides extended in‑field reliability for demanding thermal environments.
• High ripple tolerance: 2.2 A (120 Hz) and 3.3 A (50 kHz) ripple current ratings reduce thermal stress and support higher AC loading on DC rails.
• Wide temperature window: −40°C to 105°C operation supports deployments across a broad temperature range without changing component selection.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tan δ (0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and defined leakage current (1500 µA) simplify design margins and thermal balancing.
• Robust mechanical mounting: Snap‑in radial can provides secure PCB anchoring for high‑vibration or production environments and straightforward tray packing for manufacturing.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance helps meet environmental requirements for assemblies.
