LGU2Z102MELB

The LGU2Z102MELB is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated 180 V with 1000 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It is a general‑purpose power component designed for applications requiring substantial bulk capacitance, sustained ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperatures.

Built to operate from −40°C to +105°C and qualified for 3000 hours of endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current, this capacitor targets power systems where sustained thermal and ripple performance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, providing large bulk energy storage in a compact radial can.
• Snap‑in Mounting — Snap‑in terminal (radial, can – snap‑in) for secure PCB retention and robust mechanical mounting in panel or PCB assemblies.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Supports 2.3 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.45 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), suitable for designs with significant AC ripple components.
• Low Dissipation Factor — tanδ = 0.15 (max) at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating low losses for stable performance under AC stress.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current is 1270 µA, measured after application of rated voltage at 20°C.
• High‑temperature Endurance — Rated life of 3000 hours at 105°C (with DC bias plus rated ripple current applied), meeting endurance expectations for sustained high‑temperature use.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +105°C to accommodate a wide ambient range.
• Package & Supply — φ30 × 35 mm can (L: 3.5 × D: 3.0 cm) supplied in tray packing and available in mass production.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing and filtering — Provides bulk capacitance where 1000 µF at 180 V and high ripple current capability are required for voltage stabilization.
• High‑frequency ripple handling — Suitable for circuits that impose significant high‑frequency ripple, supported by a 3.45 A ripple rating at 50 kHz.
• Elevated‑temperature power systems — Intended for equipment operating up to 105°C and validated for 3000 hours endurance under rated ripple and bias.

Unique Advantages

• High sustained ripple tolerance — Rated ripple current values for both low and high frequency reduce the need for parallel components and simplify thermal management.
• Long operational life at 105°C — 3000‑hour endurance under rated conditions supports reliable long‑term operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Robust mechanical mounting — Snap‑in terminals provide secure PCB retention for assemblies subject to vibration or handling.
• Clear electrical characterization — Specified tanδ, leakage current and tolerance enable predictable design margining for power applications.
• Production ready — Tray packing and mass production status support volume procurement and repeatable manufacturing integration.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance addresses material‑restriction requirements for many markets.
