LGX2E102MELC35

The LGX2E102MELC35 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for demanding power applications. It is a smaller‑sized, long‑life component rated for 250 V and 1 mF capacitance, intended for use where sustained ripple handling and elevated temperature endurance are required.

Engineered for rectifier circuits in general inverters and switching power supplies, this RoHS‑compliant capacitor delivers specified performance across an operating range of -25 °C to 105 °C and is qualified for 5000 hours of rated ripple operation at 105 °C.

Key Features

• Snap‑in Terminal Package Radial, can-style snap‑in mounting for secure board retention and straightforward assembly in power modules and chassis installations.
• Rated Performance 1 mF capacitance at 250 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk filtering and energy storage in power conversion circuits.
• High‑Temperature Long Life Endurance specification: withstands 5000 hours at 105 °C with rated ripple and DC bias applied; capacitance change remains within ±20% after test.
• Ripple Current Capability Low‑frequency ripple current: 2.38 A at 120 Hz; high‑frequency ripple current: 3.57 A at 50 kHz — enabling reliable performance under continuous ripple stress.
• Wide Operating Range Operating temperature range of -25 °C to +105 °C, with an impedance ratio at low temperature of up to 4× (Z at -25 °C / Z at +20 °C) for the 200–250 V range.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics Leakage current meets I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tan δ limits and leakage specifications follow the LGX series standards for stable electrical behavior.
• RoHS Compliant Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting environmentally conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies Bulk filtering and energy smoothing in SMPS where sustained ripple handling and elevated temperature endurance are required.
• Inverter Rectifier Circuits DC link and rectifier smoothing in general inverter designs for industrial and commercial power conversion.
• General Purpose Power Filtering Energy storage and decoupling in power distribution stages for control and power electronics modules.

Unique Advantages

• Long‑term high‑temperature reliability: Qualified for 5000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current, providing predictable life in thermally stressed power systems.
• High ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz support a wide range of power conversion topologies and switching frequencies.
• Compact, serviceable snap‑in form factor: Smaller-sized radial snap‑in can simplifies mechanical integration while maintaining robust electrical performance.
• Measurable low‑temperature behavior: Specified impedance ratio (Z‑25 °C / Z+20 °C ≤ 4 for 200–250 V) lets designers account for low‑temperature performance in system models.
• Clear electrical limits: Leakage current, tan δ limits, and endurance criteria are defined in the LGX series specifications for straightforward qualification and reliability assessment.
• RoHS compliance: Supports regulatory and environmental requirements for commercial and industrial equipment.
