Overview of LGU2F101MELY – 315 V, 100 µF Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (Snap‑in)
The LGU2F101MELY is a Nichicon LGU-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal configuration. It is a polarized, high-voltage component specified at 315 V with 100 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance, designed for general‑purpose power applications.
Key value propositions include a 105°C endurance rating with 3000 hours life, low-frequency and high-frequency ripple-handling capability, and RoHS compliance for environmentally conscious designs.
Key Features
- Electrical Rating — 315 V rated voltage and 100 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
- Loss and Leakage — tanδ (DF) 0.15 maximum at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 530 µA.
- Ripple Current Capability — 690 mA low-frequency ripple current at 120 Hz and 986.7 mA high-frequency ripple current at 50 kHz.
- Endurance and Reliability — Specified to withstand rated DC bias plus rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105°C.
- Operating Range — Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C.
- Package and Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (φ20×30 L); size L: 3 × D: 2 cm, tray packing, mass production status.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.
- Polarized Design — Intended for circuits that require a polarized electrolytic capacitor.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose power systems — Use where a polarized, high‑voltage snap‑in electrolytic capacitor is required; leverages 315 V rating and 100 µF capacitance.
- Power supply filtering — Applicable where rated ripple current handling (690 mA at 120 Hz, 986.7 mA at 50 kHz) and low dissipation factor (tanδ 0.15) are needed.
- High‑temperature environments — Suitable for designs that must sustain performance at elevated temperatures up to +105°C with a 3000‑hour endurance rating.
Unique Advantages
- High‑voltage capability: 315 V rating supports elevated DC bus voltages without series stacking.
- Robust ripple performance: Measured ripple currents at both low and high frequencies help designers account for AC stress across a range of switching and line frequencies.
- Qualified endurance at 105°C: 3000 hours life under rated conditions provides predictable long‑term behavior in hot operating environments.
- Compact snap‑in package: φ20×30 L radial can with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting and ease of assembly in production volumes.
- Clear electrical characterization: Specified tanδ, leakage, and tolerance figures allow straightforward selection and margining in designs.
- RoHS compliance: Meets environmental directive requirements for lead‑free assembly processes.
