LGY1H272MELA25

The LGY1H272MELA25 from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGY long-life series. It delivers 2.7 mF (2700 µF) capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact φ25 × 25 mm can with snap-in mounting for secure board installation.

Designed for long-life industrial use, this device offers 5000 hours endurance at 105°C, strong ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for industrial power supplies, ballast applications and general-purpose power conditioning where reliability is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) rated at 50 V with ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• Long-Life Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, supporting designs that require sustained performance at elevated temperature.
• High Ripple Current Handling — 1600 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1840 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling efficient handling of AC ripple in power converters and supplies.
• Low Loss / Leakage — tan δ specified at 0.30 (max.) and leakage current specified at 1100 µA, supporting predictable electrical behavior in steady-state and post-power-up conditions.
• Temperature Range — Rated operating range from −40°C to +105°C for broad environmental tolerance.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can (φ25 × 25 mm) for secure snap-in PCB mounting; supplied in tray packing and is in mass production.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk capacitance and long-life endurance make it suitable for smoothing and energy storage in industrial DC power modules operating at elevated temperatures.
• Ballast Applications — Designed for ballast use where sustained ripple current and long operating life at high temperature are required.
• General Purpose Power Conditioning — Useful wherever a robust, polarized electrolytic is needed for filtering, decoupling or energy storage in general-purpose power circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high-temperature lifespan: 5000 hours at 105°C provides predictable end-of-life behavior for long-running systems.
• Strong ripple-current capability: Handles 1.6 A at 120 Hz and 1.84 A at 50 kHz, reducing thermal stress under AC ripple conditions.
• Compact, secure mounting: φ25 × 25 mm snap-in can offers a compact footprint with reliable board retention for industrial assemblies.
• Stable electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ and controlled leakage current support consistent performance across production units.
• RoHS compliance and mass-production availability: Environmentally compliant and readily available in tray packing for production runs.
