Overview of LGU2F271MELZ – 315 V, 270 µF Snap-In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
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.
