Overview of LGU2E271MELA – Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 270 µF / 250 V

The LGU2E271MELA is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 270 µF and 250 V. It is a polarized, radial can device designed for general-purpose electronic applications where robust ripple-current endurance and elevated-temperature performance are required.

Designed for continuous operation up to 105°C, this component offers long-term stability under rated ripple current and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for a wide range of power and assembly-level applications.

Key Features

  • Capacitance & Voltage 270 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and a tolerance of ±20%.
  • Snap-in Radial Can Package Snap-in terminal, radial can construction for secure mechanical mounting in assemblies.
  • High-Temperature Endurance Specified endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated ripple current and DC bias.
  • Operating Temperature Range Rated for −40°C to +105°C operation, supporting a broad range of environmental conditions.
  • Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current performance includes 1.18 A at 120 Hz and 1.77 A at 50 kHz, with frequency coefficients defined in the LGU series data.
  • Polarized Electrolytic Polarized design appropriate for DC power filtering and bulk energy storage in circuits requiring electrolytic capacitors.
  • Regulatory Compliance Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

  • General Purpose Electronics — For circuits requiring a 270 µF, 250 V polarized electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in radial can package.
  • High-Temperature Power Assemblies — Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C supports use where sustained ripple current at elevated temperatures is expected.
  • Board and Chassis Installations — Snap-in terminals provide a mechanically secure mounting option for assembled power modules and equipment.

Unique Advantages

  • Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current helps ensure sustained performance in hot operating environments.
  • Clear Ripple Current Ratings: Published ripple current values (1.18 A at 120 Hz, 1.77 A at 50 kHz) allow designers to size capacitors against expected AC stresses.
  • Compact Snap-in Form Factor: Radial, snap-in can package simplifies installation in assemblies that require secure mechanical retention.
  • Wide Operating Range: −40°C to +105°C rating supports diverse deployment scenarios across ambient conditions.
  • Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports designs targeting global markets with environmental restrictions.

Why Choose LGU2E271MELA?
