LGU2G101MELA

The LGU2G101MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 400 V and 100 µF, designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. Its radial, can‑style snap‑in package (φ25 × 25 mm) supports secure panel or PCB mounting where a high‑voltage polarized capacitor is required.

Built for elevated operating temperatures, this part is specified for operation up to 105°C and is designed to withstand 3,000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C. The device is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for mass production use.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating — 100 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 400 V provides high‑voltage bulk capacitance in a compact can.
• High‑temperature Endurance — Specified for operation up to 105°C with endurance defined as 3,000 hours under rated ripple current at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 700 mA at 120 Hz and 1.001 A at 50 kHz, with series frequency coefficients in the datasheet for other frequencies.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ25 × 25 mm) for robust mechanical retention and straightforward insertion into assemblies.
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C); polarized device for DC applications.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3·C·V (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ specification for the 160–420 V range is max. 0.15 at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Operating Range & Size — Operating temperature −25°C to 105°C; size L: 25 mm × D: 25 mm for space‑conscious layouts.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic assemblies — Suited for applications that require a 400 V, 100 µF polarized capacitor in a snap‑in radial can form.
• Power modules and subassemblies — For designs that need high‑voltage capacitance with specified ripple handling and elevated temperature endurance.
• Production and manufacturing environments — Tray packing and mass production availability simplify procurement and assembly for volume builds.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability: 400 V rating provides elevated DC voltage handling without increasing package diameter.
• Long high‑temperature life: Endurance rated for 3,000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current supports designs that must operate at elevated temperatures.
• Defined ripple performance: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz help designers size capacitors against thermal and ripple requirements.
• Secure mechanical mounting: Snap‑in radial can package simplifies board insertion and retention for robust mechanical assembly.
• Measured electrical characteristics: Specified leakage current formula and tan δ limits enable predictable behavior during design and qualification.
• RoHS compliant supply: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
