LGU2F271MELZ

The LGU2F271MELZ is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series. It offers a 315 V rated voltage with 270 µF capacitance and a snap-in radial can package intended for general-purpose applications.

Designed for reliability under sustained ripple load, this part provides long endurance at elevated temperature and a combination of electrical characteristics suited to industrial and power electronics designs requiring 3000 hours performance at 105°C.

Key Features

• Rated Voltage & Capacitance — 315 V rated voltage with 270 µF nominal capacitance and ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap-In Radial Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can package (φ22 × 45 mm) for secure board mounting and mechanical stability.
• High Temperature Endurance — Specified for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, with defined endurance criteria for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.160 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.659 A at 50 kHz, enabling sustained AC stress handling within rated limits.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage — Specified tan δ of 0.15 (max) at 120 Hz and 20°C for the 315 V rating, and leakage current up to 870 µA as provided in the product data.
• Operating Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C for the 315 V variant.
• RoHS Compliance — Product is RoHS compliant as stated in the product information.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power equipment — Suited for designs that require a 315 V, 270 µF snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor for bulk capacitance in power assemblies.
• Industrial electronics — Appropriate where long endurance at 105°C and defined ripple current capability are required in industrial environments.
• High-voltage DC circuits — Applicable in circuits using a 315 V rated electrolytic capacitor for DC link, smoothing or energy storage roles that match the product’s electrical ratings.

Unique Advantages

• Long-duration endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable lifetime performance for sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• High working voltage: 315 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC systems where a compact snap-in solution is required.
• Defined ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow designers to evaluate and match the capacitor to expected AC stress levels.
• Compact snap-in form factor: φ22 × 45 mm radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies board retention and mechanical mounting in rack or chassis assemblies.
• Controlled electrical loss: tan δ specified at 0.15 (120 Hz, 20°C) for the 315 V rating supports predictable dissipation behavior in designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and supply-chain requirements.
