Overview of LGU2P821MELC – 820 µF 220 V Snap-In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGU2P821MELC is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 820 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating with a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C and a guaranteed 3000 hours endurance at 105°C.
Engineered for robust ripple handling and stable long-term performance, this radial can (snap-in) package is suited for designs that require high-voltage bulk capacitance with reliable leakage and ripple-current performance.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 820 µF with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), providing predictable bulk energy storage for power circuits.
- Voltage Rating — 220 V rated voltage for higher-voltage DC applications.
- High Temperature Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current, ensuring sustained performance in elevated-temperature environments.
- Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.1 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 3.15 A at 50 kHz to support demanding ripple-load conditions.
- Low Leakage — Specified leakage current of 1270 µA, supporting stable bias behavior after application of rated voltage.
- Package & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can with dimensions φ35 × 30 mm (L), designed for secure snap-in mounting on printed circuit boards.
- Wide Operating Temperature — −40°C to +105°C category temperature range for versatility across ambient conditions.
- RoHS Compliant — Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power filtering — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in power conversion circuits that require 820 µF at 220 V.
