Overview of LGU2E821MELC – 250V 820µF Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor

The LGU2E821MELC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose electronic applications requiring high voltage and elevated temperature endurance. With a rated voltage of 250 V and 820 µF capacitance, this radial can-type capacitor delivers robust smoothing and bulk energy support in systems that demand long life and stable performance.

Engineered for continuous operation up to 105°C and produced for mass volumes with tray packing, the LGU2E821MELC combines high ripple tolerance and controlled dissipation factor for reliable performance in demanding power environments.

Key Features

  • Capacitance & Voltage — 820 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 250 V with ±20% tolerance for predictable bulk energy storage.
  • Snap‑In Radial Package — Can‑type, snap‑in terminal construction (φ35 × 35L) for secure board mounting and simplified assembly; packed in trays for production handling.
  • High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with a specified endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current.
  • Low Dissipation Factor — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.15 (max.) measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for controlled losses and thermal behavior.
  • Ripple Current Capability — Supports 2.3 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.45 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective filtering across a wide frequency range.
  • Leakage Performance — Specified leakage current of 1,350 µA (after rated voltage applied for the defined test interval), supporting predictable bias behavior.
  • RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

  • General Purpose Electronics — Bulk capacitance and smoothing in general‑purpose circuits where 250 V operation and 820 µF capacity are required.
  • Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and ripple suppression in power conversion systems operating up to 105°C.
  • Power Conversion & Filtering — Suitable for designs that require high ripple current handling at both low and high frequencies (2.3 A at 120 Hz; 3.45 A at 50 kHz).
  • High‑Temperature Environments — Applications that require sustained operation and 3000‑hour endurance at elevated temperature (105°C).

Unique Advantages

  • High Voltage Capability: 250 V rating supports higher‑voltage power systems without additional series components.
  • Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable life for designs exposed to sustained thermal stress.
  • Wide Frequency Ripple Handling: Separate ripple current specifications for low and high frequency (2.3 A @120 Hz, 3.45 A @50 kHz) enable effective suppression across switching and line frequencies.
  • Controlled Losses: tan δ = 0.15 (max.) at 20°C, 120 Hz supports thermal stability and efficient operation in continuous duty.
  • Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production availability simplify procurement and assembly for volume builds.
  • Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance reduces materials risk and eases integration into regulated product lines.

Why Choose LGU2E821MELC?

The LGU2E821MELC is positioned for designs that require a durable, high‑voltage aluminum electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple and thermal endurance characteristics. Its combination of 250 V rating, 820 µF capacitance, snap‑in radial can package, and 3000‑hour life at 105°C makes it well suited to engineers specifying reliable bulk capacitance for power supplies and industrial electronics.

Measured electrical characteristics—tan δ, leakage current, and frequency‑dependent ripple handling—give predictable behavior useful for long‑term designs. RoHS compliance and tray packing support streamlined production and regulatory alignment for volume manufacturing.
