LGU2P331MELA

The LGU2P331MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series, specified for general‑purpose electronic applications. It provides 330 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating in a compact φ25 × 25 mm can with radial snap‑in mounting.

Designed for sustained operation up to 105°C, this part delivers extended endurance and measurable ripple handling for applications that require reliable bulk capacitance in a board‑mountable snap‑in package.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 220 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• High‑temperature Endurance — Rated life of 3000 hours at 105°C under specified conditions, meeting LGU series endurance criteria.
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified low‑frequency ripple current of 1.25 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 1.875 A at 50 kHz, supporting a range of operating frequencies.
• Low Leakage — Leakage current specified at 800 µA, measured after rated voltage application as defined in product data.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — Tan δ measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; for the 160–420 V band the series specifies a maximum tan δ of 0.15.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 25 mm) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant as noted in the LGU series documentation.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic equipment — Suitable where a 330 µF, 220 V polarized snap‑in capacitor is required for board‑level bulk capacitance.
• Power supply modules — Used in designs that require high‑voltage bulk capacitance with rated ripple current and elevated temperature endurance.
• Industrial electronics — Appropriate for general‑purpose industrial circuits operating within −40°C to 105°C that need durable electrolytic capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high‑temperature life — 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable end‑of‑life behavior for thermal‑stress environments.
• measurable ripple capability across frequencies — Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz support designs operating at different frequencies.
• Compact snap‑in form factor — φ25 × 25 mm snap‑in can enables robust board mounting and space‑efficient placement.
• Low leakage current — 800 µA leakage rating helps maintain efficiency and predictable bias behavior after voltage application.
• RoHS compliance — Conforms to RoHS requirements for restricted substances in manufacturing.
• Series pedigree — Built to LGU series specifications from Nichicon, including published tan δ and endurance criteria for 160–420 V band components.
