Overview of LGU1K272MELB – 80 V, 2700 µF Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGU1K272MELB is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose power electronics. It provides 2.7 mF capacitance at an 80 V rating in a radial snap‑in can optimized for high ripple environments.
With a −40°C to 105°C operating range and a 3,000‑hour endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current, this capacitor is specified for applications that require sustained ripple handling and long‑term thermal reliability.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance: 2,700 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 20°C, 120 Hz, offering predictable bulk capacitance for smoothing and energy storage.
- Rated Voltage: 80 V DC rating suitable for mid‑voltage power rails and DC link applications.
- High Temperature Endurance: Specified life of 3,000 hours at 105°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, supporting long‑term high‑temperature operation.
- Ripple Current Handling: Low‑frequency ripple current 2.43 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 2.795 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective performance across a wide frequency range.
- Low Loss Characteristics: tanδ (DF) = 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable dissipation and stability in AC loading conditions.
- Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1,390 µA (after rated voltage applied for 5 minutes at 20°C), aiding in design margin calculations.
- Package & Mounting: Radial, can‑style snap‑in termination for secure board mounting and simplified assembly; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
- Operating Range & Polarization: Polarized capacitor rated for −40°C to +105°C operation, suitable for conventional electrolytic use cases.
- RoHS Compliant & Production Status: RoHS‑compliant and in mass production for predictable sourcing.
Typical Applications
- General‑Purpose Power Electronics: Bulk energy storage and smoothing where an 80 V, 2.7 mF polarized capacitor is required with high ripple current capability.
- Power Supplies and DC Link Circuits: Use for filtering and ripple attenuation across mid‑voltage rails benefiting from the component's rated ripple current and 105°C endurance.
- Industrial Equipment: Suitable for industrial power modules and control equipment that demand robust thermal performance and long life at elevated temperatures.
Unique Advantages
- High Ripple Endurance: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies help manage AC stress in power conversion and filtering circuits.
- Long High‑Temperature Life: 3,000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides design confidence for elevated‑temperature installations.
- Compact Snap‑In Package: Radial snap‑in can simplifies PCB mount and retention in assemblies while supporting tray packing for production workflows.
- Measurable Loss Performance: Defined tanδ = 0.2 at 120 Hz and 20°C enables accurate thermal and dissipation planning in system designs.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regions and products requiring restricted substance conformity.
