LGX2H820MELA30

The LGX2H820MELA30 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor designed for high-voltage power applications. It delivers 82 µF at 500 V in a smaller-sized radial can snap-in package and is polarized for DC service.

Engineered for long-life operation, this part withstands rated ripple current for 5000 hours at 105°C and is suited for rectifier circuits in general inverters and switching power supplies. It is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core electrical — 82 µF capacitance at 500 V with ±20% tolerance; polarized design for DC filtering and energy storage.
• Long-life thermal performance — Endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current; operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C.
• Ripple capability — Rated ripple current of 740 mA at 120 Hz and 1.058 A at 50 kHz to support high-demand filtering tasks.
• Package & mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can snap-in package in a smaller-sized footprint (L: 3 × D: 2.5 cm) for secure board retention and compact assemblies.
• Compliance — RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Rectifier circuits for inverters — Provides DC smoothing and energy storage in rectifier stages of general inverter systems.
• Switching power supplies — Used for bulk filtering and ripple smoothing in high-voltage switching supply outputs and intermediate DC links.
• General-purpose power electronics — Suitable for power filtering and decoupling in industrial and commercial power conversion equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life — 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current offers extended service life in thermally demanding environments.
• High-voltage capability — 500 V rating enables use in high-voltage DC circuits and rectifier stages without series arrangements.
• Compact snap-in form factor — Smaller-sized radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies assembly and saves PCB space compared to larger high-voltage electrolytics.
• Improved ripple tolerance — Rated ripple currents of 740 mA (120 Hz) and 1.058 A (50 kHz) support robust filtering in both low- and high-frequency conditions.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports deployments where restricted-substance conformance is required.
