Overview of LGU2G101MELY – 100 µF, 400 V Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (Snap‑in, 105°C)
The LGU2G101MELY is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package, designed for general-purpose applications. It is a polarized capacitor rated 100 µF at 400 V with a −20% to +20% tolerance and RoHS compliance.
Engineered for elevated-temperature operation, this part withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current application at 105°C and provides specified ripple current capacity across low and high frequencies, supporting robust performance in demanding power circuits.
Key Features
- Rated Capacitance and Voltage — 100 µF capacitance rated at 400 V for medium-energy storage and DC applications.
- 105°C Endurance — Designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after endurance testing.
- Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal type (radial, can - snap‑in) for secure PCB mounting and mechanical stability.
- Rated Ripple Current — 700 mA at 120 Hz and 1.001 A at 50 kHz, specified for application planning across frequency ranges.
- Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −25 °C to +105 °C operation for elevated-temperature environments.
- Polarized Electrolytic — Polarized construction suitable for DC circuit applications.
- Size and Mechanical Data — Physical dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 2 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.378 inch; terminal and PCB hole dimensions available in the product documentation.
- Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose power circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in general-purpose AC/DC and DC/DC stages where 400 V rating and 100 µF are required.
- Power supply filtering — Supports ripple current handling at 120 Hz and higher frequencies for filtering and energy buffering.
- Industrial equipment — Suitable for elevated-temperature environments up to 105 °C where long endurance under ripple stress is needed.
Unique Advantages
- High temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current provides predictable ageing performance for design life planning.
- Measured ripple performance: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz enable accurate thermal and ripple budgeting in system designs.
- Robust PCB mounting: Snap‑in radial can package offers mechanical stability and straightforward board retention for through-hole assemblies.
- Clear electrical specification set: Capacitance, tolerance, leakage, and tan δ limits are specified for validation against design requirements.
- RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS directives to support regulatory requirements in product builds.
