LGU2A272MELB

The LGU2A272MELB from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGU series, rated at 2.7 mF (2700 µF) and 100 V. It is designed for general‑purpose applications that require high capacitance in a compact, snap‑in can.

Key value propositions include a 105°C endurance rating with 3000 hours of life under rated ripple conditions, robust ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, and RoHS compliance for environmental compatibility.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and a tolerance of ±20% (–20% to 20%).
• High‑temperature Endurance — Specified life of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, maintaining capacitance within ±20% of initial value after test.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low frequency ripple current of 2.94 A at 120 Hz and high frequency ripple current of 3.381 A at 50 kHz, supporting demanding ripple conditions.
• Loss Characteristics — Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing predictable AC loss behavior for design calculations.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1550 µA after rated voltage application, useful for power management considerations.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in (radial can) package, size φ30 × 45 mm (D: 3.0 cm × L: 4.5 cm), packaged in trays for production handling and PCB snap‑in mounting.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant and delivered in mass production status for reliable supply.
• Polarized Design — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC bulk and filtering applications.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — 2.7 mF at 100 V supports smoothing and decoupling in power supply stages where bulk capacitance is required.
• Bulk energy storage — High capacitance and rated ripple current make it suitable for bulk smoothing and charge reservoir functions in DC circuits.
• High‑temperature environments — 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C allows continuous operation in equipment exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
• Production‑oriented assemblies — Snap‑in can and tray packing ease automated or manual insertion for medium‑volume and high‑volume assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained high temperature operation — 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple ensures longer service life in hot operating environments.
• Strong ripple handling across frequencies — Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz provide predictable thermal and lifetime performance under varied operating spectra.
• Large capacitance in compact snap‑in can — 2700 µF in a φ30 × 45 mm package balances high energy storage with a small PCB footprint.
• Predictable AC loss behavior — tan δ = 0.20 (20°C, 120 Hz) supports accurate loss and thermal budgeting in power designs.
• Production friendly packaging — Tray packing and snap‑in terminals simplify handling and board assembly logistics.
• Regulatory readiness — RoHS compliance for environmental compatibility in regulated markets.
