LGY1C273MELC30

The LGY1C273MELC30 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGY Long Life series. It delivers 27 mF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can package designed for board‑mount, high‑reliability applications.

Engineered for industrial power supplies and ballast applications, this part emphasizes long life and dependable performance with endurance specified for 5000 hours under rated ripple current at 105°C and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Core Electricals: 27 mF capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) and 16 V rated voltage; polarized design for power filtering and bulk energy storage.
• High Ripple Capability: Rated ripple currents of 3.6 A at 120 Hz and 4.14 A at 50 kHz support continuous AC ripple loading typical in industrial power supplies.
• Long‑Life Endurance: Specified to withstand 5000 hours of D.C. bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C; after endurance testing, capacitance change remains within ±25%, tan δ ≤ 250% of initial, and leakage current ≤ initial specified value.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Specified operating range from −40°C to +105°C for use across demanding ambient conditions.
• Leakage and Dissipation Characteristics: Leakage current specified by I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C; dissipation factor (tan δ) measured at 120 Hz, 20°C (tan δ max. 0.50 for 16 V rating).
• Package & Mounting: Radial, can-style snap‑in package with L: 3 × D: 3.5 cm physical footprint and snap‑in terminals for secure board retention and straightforward assembly.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk filtering and smoothing where continuous ripple handling and long operational life at elevated temperatures are required.
• Ballast Applications: Designed for ballast circuits that demand reliable capacitance under high ripple and thermal stress.
• General Purpose Power Filtering: Board‑mounted energy storage and decoupling in equipment where a robust, polarized snap‑in capacitor is appropriate.

Unique Advantages

• Long‑Term Reliability: Endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current provides a quantified lifespan for high‑temperature, high‑stress designs.
• High Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies reduce thermal buildup and improve stability under AC loading.
• Wide Temperature Range: −40°C to +105°C operating range supports a broad set of industrial environments.
• Secure Snap‑In Mounting: Radial snap‑in terminals offer robust mechanical retention for panel and board assemblies subject to vibration or handling.
• Measured Electrical Limits: Clear leakage current and tan δ specifications allow predictable designs and easier validation against system requirements.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity simplifies environmental compliance for shipped products.
