LGU2E102MELC

The LGU2E102MELC is a Nichicon LGU series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal radial can. It is a polarized component rated 1 mF at 250 V, designed for general-purpose applications that require high-temperature operation and sustained ripple-current performance.

Engineered for endurance at elevated temperatures, this capacitor withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple-current application at 105°C and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1 mF rated capacitance at 250 V provides substantial bulk capacitance for designs requiring higher voltage handling.
• High-temperature Endurance: Specified operating range to 105°C and endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple-current capability of 2.47 A at 120 Hz and 3.705 A at 50 kHz to support continuous AC ripple stress.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, snap-in can package for secure PCB mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Polarized Construction: Designed as a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for DC-biased applications.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Size: Body dimensions L: 4 × D: 3.5 cm for layout and mechanical planning.
• Tolerance: Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Marking: Printed with white lettering on a black sleeve for clear identification.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic assemblies: Use where a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with 1 mF/250 V rating and high-temperature endurance is required.
• Power filtering and smoothing (general): Suitable for applications that need sustained ripple-current handling and bulk capacitance at elevated temperatures.
