Overview of LGU1K272MELA – 80 V Snap-In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 2700 µF
The LGU1K272MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series featuring a snap-in terminal package. It provides 2700 µF capacitance at an 80 V rated voltage in a compact φ25 × 40L can and is supplied in tray packing for production use.
Designed for general-purpose applications, the part delivers long endurance at elevated temperature with 3000 hours rated life at 105°C, RoHS compliance, and measurable electrical characteristics including low-frequency and high-frequency ripple current ratings.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage 2.7 mF (2700 µF) nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance.
- High-temperature Endurance Endurance specified for 3000 hours at 105°C with rated DC bias plus rated ripple current applied.
- Ripple Current Capability Low-frequency ripple current: 2.43 A (120 Hz); high-frequency ripple current: 2.795 A (50 kHz), supporting sustained ripple handling across frequencies.
- Electrical Loss and Leakage Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; specified leakage current 1390 µA.
- Temperature Range Operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C for reliable performance across common environmental conditions.
- Package & Mounting Snap-in terminal, radial can (φ25 × 40L) for secure PCB mounting; supplied in tray packing and available in mass production status.
- Regulatory RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power circuits Use where 2.7 mF at 80 V and reliable ripple handling are required for bulk decoupling or energy buffering.
- Industrial and commercial equipment Suitable for equipment operating across −40°C to +105°C that require long-life capacitors with defined endurance.
- Panel and rack power supplies Snap-in mounting and robust ripple current ratings make the component suitable for power supply DC bus and smoothing roles in general-purpose designs.
Unique Advantages
- Rated for elevated-temperature operation: 3000 hours endurance at 105°C ensures predictable life performance under sustained thermal stress.
- Strong ripple-handling capability: Specified ripple currents at low and high frequencies (2.43 A at 120 Hz, 2.795 A at 50 kHz) support a range of power-system conditions.
- Compact, serviceable package: φ25 × 40L snap-in can provides a balance of capacitance and board-mount convenience in a radial form factor.
- Clear electrical metrics: Specified tan δ (0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and documented leakage current (1390 µA) allow straightforward design validation and margining.
- Production-ready supply: Tray packing and mass-production status simplify procurement and assembly planning.
- RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmentally constrained designs.
