Overview of LGW2G271MELZ50 – 270 µF, 400 V Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor

The LGW2G271MELZ50 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal radial can package designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It provides 270 µF nominal capacitance at a 400 V rating with polarized construction and is optimized for high ripple current performance.

Key value propositions include high ripple current capability with validated endurance at elevated temperature, a wide operating temperature range to 105 °C, and RoHS compliance for regulated material use.

Key Features

  • Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance.
  • High Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple current examples: 1.68 A at 120 Hz and 2.402 A at 50 kHz. The LGW series supports frequency-dependent ripple current scaling for the 400–450 V group.
  • 105 °C Endurance — Capable of withstanding 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value.
  • Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −25 °C to +105 °C operation.
  • Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal type in a radial can package, designed for secure snap‑in board mounting; size dimensions: L: 5 × D: 2.2 cm.
  • Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

  • General‑purpose power electronics — For circuits requiring a 400 V polarized capacitor with high ripple current capability and extended high‑temperature endurance.
  • Industrial equipment — Applicable where sustained ripple handling at elevated temperature and RoHS compliance are required.
  • Commercial power supplies — Suited to designs that need bulk capacitance at 400 V with proven 3000‑hour ripple endurance at 105 °C.

Unique Advantages

  • Validated high‑temperature endurance — 3000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current provides measurable reliability for heat‑stressed designs.
  • Frequency‑aware ripple capability — Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz, with series frequency coefficients for the 400–450 V group, help predict performance across operating frequencies.
  • Robust mounting — Snap‑in radial can construction provides a secure, serviceable board attachment suited to moderate‑power assemblies.
  • Regulatory readiness — RoHS compliance supports restricted‑materials requirements in assemblies.
  • Clear electrical specification — Polarized 270 µF at 400 V and defined tolerance simplify BOM selection and circuit calculations.

Why Choose LGW2G271MELZ50?

The LGW2G271MELZ50 balances substantial capacitance at a 400 V rating with engineered ripple‑current capability and proven endurance at 105 °C, making it a practical choice for general‑purpose power applications where long life under ripple load is required. Its snap‑in radial can form factor and RoHS compliance make it straightforward to incorporate into regulated industrial and commercial designs.

This part is appropriate for engineers and procurement teams specifying high‑voltage polarized capacitors that need documented high‑temperature ripple endurance, clear electrical parameters, and a package suited for secure board mounting.
