LGU2E271MELZ

The LGU2E271MELZ is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series designed for general‑purpose power applications. It provides 270 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a compact radial, can‑snap‑in package and is rated for continuous operation across a broad temperature range.

Key value propositions include high ripple handling at both low and high frequencies, extended endurance at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance for manufacturability and regulatory alignment.

Key Features

• Core Electricals — 270 µF capacitance at 250 V with ±20% tolerance, polarized configuration suitable for standard DC applications.
• Power / Ripple Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current 1.18 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 1.77 A (50 kHz) to support smoothing and decoupling under varying ripple spectra.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable dissipation behavior in AC conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 770 µA for reliable idle and steady‑state performance.
• Thermal & Endurance — Rated operating temperature −40°C to +105°C with 3000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package, size φ22 × 35 mm (L: 3.5 × D: 2.2 cm), designed for secure board mounting and mechanical stability.
• Packaging & Compliance — Supplied in tray packing and listed as RoHS compliant; available in mass production quantities.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Use where a 250 V, 270 µF polarized capacitor is required for bulk capacitance in conventional circuits.
• Power Supply Filtering — Smoothing and ripple suppression in DC power supplies where the specified ripple current ratings meet system requirements.
• High‑Temperature Installations — Circuits operating up to 105°C that require long endurance (3000 hours) under rated conditions.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Capability — Defined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (1.18 A and 1.77 A) provide measurable handling across typical ripple spectrums.
• Extended High‑Temperature Endurance — 3000 hours at 105°C with maintained capacitance and leakage specifications supports reliable long‑term operation.
• Compact Snap‑In Form Factor — φ22 × 35 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies secure board mounting and assembly for power modules and supply rails.
• Predictable Loss and Leakage — tan δ = 0.15 and specified leakage current of 770 µA enable design‑level thermal and idle current budgeting.
• Production‑Ready Packaging — Tray packing and mass production status support volume assembly and procurement planning.
• Regulatory Compliant — RoHS compliance for environmental and regulatory alignment in production.\
