LGU2A272MELC

The LGU2A272MELC is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series. It provides 2.7 mF capacitance at 100 V in a radial snap-in can (φ35 × 35 mm) designed for general-purpose applications.

Engineered for high-temperature operation, this capacitor withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple-current application at 105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for designs that require sustained ripple handling and temperature resilience.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) rated at 100 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in mid-voltage rails.
• High-temperature Endurance — Endurance specified as 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; meets LGU series endurance criteria when restored to 20°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.9 A at 120 Hz and 3.335 A at 50 kHz, supporting applications with continuous AC ripple stress.
• Operating Temperature Range — –40°C to +105°C, allowing use across a wide thermal range specified for the LGU series.
• Robust Snap-in Package — Radial, can-type snap-in mounting (φ35 × 35 mm; L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm) for secure PCB retention in assemblies.
• Polarized with Standard Tolerance — Polarized electrolytic design with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage on intermediate dc rails up to 100 V where high capacitance and ripple handling are required.
• Industrial Power Conversion — Filter and reservoir capacitance in converters and inverters that operate at elevated temperatures up to 105°C.
• UPS and Power Backup — Support for hold-up and decoupling functions where long-term ripple endurance and elevated-temperature reliability matter.

Unique Advantages

• Long-duration Thermal Reliability: Specified 3000-hour endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current, providing predictable lifetime behavior in hot environments.
• High Ripple Current Handling: Measured ripple currents of 2.9 A (120 Hz) and 3.335 A (50 kHz) reduce heating and extend service life under AC stress.
• Compact High Capacitance: 2.7 mF in a φ35 × 35 mm snap-in can delivers substantial bulk capacitance in a space-efficient form factor.
• Secure Snap-in Mounting: Radial snap-in termination simplifies assembly and provides reliable mechanical retention on the PCB.
• Wide Operating Temperature: –40°C to +105°C supports diverse ambient and internal-operating conditions defined for the LGU series.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance aligns the component with common environmental requirements for electronic assemblies.
