Overview of LGX2G101MELZ25 – Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 400 V, 100 µF
The LGX2G101MELZ25 is a Nichicon LGX series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated 100 µF at 400 V. It is designed as a smaller‑sized, long‑life solution for power‑electronics applications where high voltage capability and sustained ripple endurance are required.
With a 105 °C long‑life assurance (endurance: 5000 hours at 105 °C) and tray packing for production handling, this part is suited to rectifier and power conversion roles such as inverter and switching power‑supply circuits.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
- High‑temperature Long Life — Endurance specified for 5000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current after the test.
- Snap‑in Terminal Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package for secure board mounting in power assemblies.
- Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current 660 mA at 120 Hz, 105 °C (and 943.8 mA at 50 kHz), supporting sustained AC loading in rectifier and smoothing applications.
- Low Loss & Leakage — Specified tan δ (max.) 0.15 and leakage current ≤ 0.60 mA, enabling predictable dissipation and low standby loss.
- Compact Mechanical Profile — Smaller‑sized can: φ22 × 25 mm (equivalent to D: 2.2 cm × L: 2.5 cm) for space‑constrained power boards.
- Operating Range & Compliance — Operating temperature −25 °C to +105 °C and RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage for high‑voltage rails where 400 V rating and sustained ripple current are required.
- Inverter Rectifier Circuits — DC link and filtering in general inverter topologies; long‑life endurance supports continuous operation at elevated temperature.
- Industrial Power Electronics — Space‑sensitive power modules and control equipment that need durable high‑voltage capacitors with snap‑in mounting.
Unique Advantages
- Long operational life at elevated temperature: 5000 hours at 105 °C provides defined reliability metrics for high‑temperature deployments.
- High voltage capability with compact footprint: 400 V rating in a φ22 × 25 mm can minimizes board area for high‑voltage energy storage.
- Engineered for continuous ripple loading: Rated ripple current (660 mA at 120 Hz, 943.8 mA at 50 kHz) reduces thermal stress under AC bias conditions.
- Stable electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ (max. 0.15) and leakage current limits help predict dissipation and standby behavior.
- Production‑friendly packaging: Tray packing and mass‑production status support repeatable handling and procurement for volume builds.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for global electronic assemblies requiring restricted‑substance conformance.
