Overview of LGUW6101MELA – 420 V, 100 µF Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 105°C
The LGUW6101MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications. It combines a 100 µF capacitance with a 420 V rated voltage and a 105°C operating capability, delivering robust energy storage in a compact radial can snap‑in package.
Engineered for durability, this part withstands rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for systems that require long‑term high‑temperature performance.
Key Features
- Capacitance — 100 µF nominal value with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- High Rated Voltage — 420 V rated voltage for higher‑voltage DC circuits and energy storage.
- Snap‑in Terminal Type — Radial, can snap‑in package for secure PCB mounting and mechanical stability.
- High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation up to 105°C and specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C.
- Ripple Current Capability — 700 mA at 120 Hz and 1.001 A at 50 kHz, enabling use where continuous ripple handling is required.
- Operating Temperature Range — Specified from –25°C to +105°C for the 315–450 V range.
- Polarized Design — Polar capacitor suitable for conventional DC filter and bulk storage roles.
- Compact Footprint — Size L: 2.5 × D: 2.5 cm with a seated height maximum of 2.5 cm for space‑constrained assemblies.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- High‑voltage DC filtering — 420 V rating and 100 µF capacitance provide bulk energy storage and smoothing for high‑voltage rails.
- Power supply decoupling — Snap‑in mounting and ripple current capability support continuous decoupling in power converters and rectifier stages.
- Energy storage in industrial electronics — Designed for general‑purpose use where sustained high‑temperature endurance is required.
Unique Advantages
- High‑temperature longevity: Specified 3000 hours at 105°C with rated ripple current, helping maintain capacitance and leakage stability over extended high‑temperature operation.
- High voltage capability: 420 V rating enables integration into higher‑voltage power designs without sacrificing capacitance density.
- Robust ripple handling: Defined ripple current values at both low and high frequencies (700 mA at 120 Hz; 1.001 A at 50 kHz) support varied switching environments.
- Secure PCB mounting: Snap‑in terminal construction provides mechanical retention for through‑hole assemblies in demanding applications.
- Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports deployment in regions and products requiring restricted‑substance conformity.
