LGU2C102MELB

The LGU2C102MELB is a snap‑in terminal, aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating with ±20% tolerance. Designed for general‑purpose power applications, it delivers high ripple current capability and long endurance for demanding thermal and electrical environments.

Key value comes from robust ripple handling (2.25 A at 120 Hz, 3.375 A at 50 kHz), a 3000‑hour rated life at 105°C, and RoHS compliance, packaged in a φ30 × 30 mm snap‑in can for secure PCB mounting and mass production availability.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and DC link applications.
• Snap‑in Package — Radial, can‑type snap‑in mounting (φ30 × 30 mm) provides secure mechanical retention for high‑current and high‑vibration assemblies.
• High Ripple Current — 2250 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3375 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective smoothing under substantial AC ripple loads.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias, supporting sustained performance in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Low Losses — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.15 at 20°C and 120 Hz for the 160 V rating, indicating controlled dissipation in AC conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1200 µA, measured after rated voltage application at 20°C, for predictable standby behavior.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Operational from −40°C to +105°C and RoHS‑compliant for regulatory alignment.
• Manufacturing Ready — Tray packing and mass production status to support volume procurement and assembly flows.

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies — Bulk filtering and DC link stabilization where sustained ripple current and 105°C endurance are required.
• Power conversion modules — Energy buffering and smoothing in converters that demand high ripple handling at both low and high frequencies.
• Motor drives and inverters — Use for decoupling and energy storage in systems operating at elevated temperatures and significant ripple currents.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: 2.25 A @120 Hz and 3.375 A @50 kHz reduce voltage stress and heating in demanding AC environments.
• Extended thermal life: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides predictable long‑term performance for hot‑running designs.
• Robust mounting: Snap‑in radial can (φ30 × 30 mm) offers secure board retention for high‑current and mechanically challenging applications.
• Low dissipation: tan δ = 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz limits internal losses, helping manage temperature rise under ripple load.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports environmental and materials requirements for global products.
• Production friendly: Tray packing and mass production status streamline procurement and assembly for volume builds.
