LGU2P102MELC

The LGU2P102MELC is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package. It provides 1000 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating with polarized construction and is designed for general‑purpose applications requiring elevated temperature endurance.

Engineered to withstand continuous rated ripple current at high temperature, this part delivers stable performance up to 105 °C and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a 220 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Endurance validated for 3000 hours at 105 °C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, with limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current as specified by the LGU series.
• Rated Ripple Current — 2.4 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.6 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting designs with continuous ripple demands.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified operation from −40 °C to +105 °C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can, snap‑in terminal type for secure board mounting; physical size L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm and maximum seated height 1.378 inch.
• Polarized Construction — Positive and negative orientation for DC applications where polarity is required.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and rated voltage suitable for smoothing and decoupling in general power circuits that require elevated temperature endurance.
• Industrial equipment — Use in control and power modules where sustained ripple handling at up to 105 °C is required.
• High‑temperature environments — Applications needing long‑term stability under D.C. bias and continuous ripple at elevated ambient temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Long endurance at elevated temperature: Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C, providing predictable ageing characteristics for demanding thermal environments.
• Clear ripple current specification: Defined ripple current values (2.4 A at 120 Hz, 3.6 A at 50 kHz) allow accurate thermal and reliability planning in designs.
• Robust snap‑in mounting: Radial, snap‑in can reduces mechanical stress and simplifies PCB retention for high‑vibration or high‑current assemblies.
• Ample capacitance at 220 V: 1000 µF at a 220 V rating supports higher‑voltage DC applications while maintaining a compact footprint (3.5 × 3.5 cm).
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental and regulatory requirements in commercial and industrial products.
