LGU2D102MELA

The LGU2D102MELA is a Nichicon LGU‑series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal can, rated 200 V with 1000 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It is specified for operation from −40 °C to +105 °C and is supplied in tray packing for mass production.

Designed as a general‑purpose power capacitor, this part combines high voltage capability, bulk capacitance and elevated‑temperature endurance—including a 3000‑hour rated endurance at 105 °C—making it suitable where robust energy storage and ripple handling are required in industrial and electronic assemblies.

Key Features

• High Voltage & Large Capacitance — 200 V rated voltage with 1000 µF (1 mF) capacitance and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and filtering.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction for secure chassis or PCB mounting and reliable mechanical retention.
• Elevated Temperature Endurance — Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105 °C under specified conditions for sustained high‑temperature operation.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.3 A at 120 Hz and 3.45 A at 50 kHz to support power supply ripple and dynamic load conditions.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40 °C to +105 °C operation to accommodate thermal variability in electronic systems.
• Polarized Electrolytic Design — Polarized construction for typical DC bulk and smoothing applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances in electronic components.
• Compact Physical Size — 25 mm diameter × 50 mm length (L: 5 × D: 2.5 cm) for high capacitance in a compact snap‑in can form factor.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and ripple current handling make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and decoupling in DC power supplies.
• Energy storage in electronic assemblies — Large 1000 µF capacitance supports energy buffering and transient suppression where a polarized electrolytic is appropriate.
• High‑temperature installations — Use in equipment requiring reliable performance up to 105 °C and long endurance at elevated temperature.
