LGU2E271MELY

The LGU2E271MELY is a Nichicon LGU series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal can, providing 270 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with ±20% tolerance. It is designed for general-purpose applications that require robust ripple handling and extended high-temperature endurance.

Key value comes from its combination of high-voltage bulk capacitance, rated ripple-current capability across low and high frequencies, and a 3000-hour endurance rating at 105°C—offering a reliable energy-storage component for demanding assemblies. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for production-ready handling.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance rated at 250 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap-in Radial Package — Snap-in terminal can in a radial (φ20 × 35 mm) form factor for secure PCB mounting and bulk capacitance applications.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with 3000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.1 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.65 A at 50 kHz, suitable for circuits with significant AC stress.
• Low Loss — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 maximum (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), supporting efficient performance under AC conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 770 µA, supporting predictable DC behavior after voltage application.
• Production & Packaging — Mass production status with tray packing for ease of handling and assembly.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant per provided environmental specification.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Provides bulk capacitance for designs where a 250 V, 270 µF snap-in capacitor is required and long-term endurance at elevated temperature is needed.
• Circuits with high ripple stress — Suited to applications requiring rated ripple-current handling at both low (120 Hz) and higher (50 kHz) frequencies.
• Industrial assemblies — Operating range of −40°C to 105°C and 3000-hour endurance make it appropriate for sustained thermal environments in production equipment.
• Production-ready modules — Tray packing and mass production availability simplify procurement and assembly for volume designs.

Unique Advantages

• Extended endurance at elevated temperature: 3000 hours at 105°C ensures predictable long-term performance under rated ripple and bias conditions.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz supports designs exposed to a range of operating frequencies.
• Low dissipation (tan δ): A maximum tan δ of 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz reduces AC losses and helps maintain efficiency in AC-stressed circuits.
• Clear electrical limits: Defined leakage current (770 µA) and ±20% capacitance tolerance provide predictable sizing and derating for design validation.
• Manufacturing readiness: Tray packing and mass production status streamline sourcing and assembly for volume production.
• Regulatory conformity: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for many markets.
