LGY1J272MELZ40

The LGY1J272MELZ40 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for long‑life power applications. It delivers 2700 µF at a 63 V rating in a compact φ22 × 40 mm can and is intended for general purpose and industrial power designs that require dependable filtering and energy storage.

Key value comes from long life assurance at elevated temperature, high allowable ripple currents across low and high frequencies, and RoHS compliance—attributes suited to industrial power supplies and ballast circuits where reliability and endurance are critical.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2700 µF (2.7 mF) rated at 63 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), providing bulk energy storage and smoothing for power rails.
• Snap‑In Radial Package — φ22 × 40 mm can with snap‑in terminals for secure mounting in power assemblies; packaged in trays for production handling.
• High Temperature, Long Life — Endurance specified for 5000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting extended operation in hot environments.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2000 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2300 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective ripple absorption across a range of switching frequencies.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Specified tan δ of 0.25 (max) at the 63 V rating and a measured leakage current of 1,230 µA; leakage behavior also conforms to the series guideline I ≤ 3√(C·V) after 5 minutes at 20°C.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Rated for −40°C to +105°C to accommodate industrial temperature ranges where robust capacitor performance is required.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing where sustained ripple handling and long‑term endurance at 105°C are required.
• Ballast Circuits — Suited for ballast applications cited in the series documentation that demand reliable high‑temperature performance.
• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — Energy storage and decoupling in general power designs that benefit from a polarized, high‑capacitance snap‑in package.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Long‑Life Endurance — 5000 hours rated life at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting designs that target extended field life in hot environments.
• Robust Ripple Performance — 2.0 A at 120 Hz and 2.3 A at 50 kHz ripple current ratings reduce heating and maintain capacitance stability in both line‑frequency and high‑frequency switching applications.
• High Temperature Range — −40°C to +105°C operating range for reliable function across common industrial ambient conditions.
• Compact Snap‑In Form Factor — φ22 × 40 mm can with snap‑in terminals for reliable mechanical retention and simplified assembly in power modules.
• Quantified Loss & Leakage — Specified tan δ (0.25 max at 63 V) and a defined leakage current value (1,230 µA) give predictable electrical behavior for design verification.
• Compliance and Production Ready — RoHS compliant, tray packed, and listed as mass production status for volume deployment.
