LGY1K272MELB30

The LGY1K272MELB30 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGY series featuring a snap‑in terminal (radial, can – snap‑in) package. It delivers 2.7 mF (2700 µF) capacitance at an 80 V rating with polarized construction and ±20% tolerance.

Designed for long life and robust power handling, this part is suited to industrial power supplies, ballast applications and other general‑purpose high‑voltage circuits. Key value propositions include a 5000‑hour endurance at 105°C, high ripple current capability, and RoHS compliance for production readiness.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) nominal capacitance at an 80 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for high‑voltage bulk storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• Long Life Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, providing predictable ageing and reliability for industrial applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 2.2 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.53 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting demanding AC ripple conditions in power converters and supplies.
• Low Dissipation Factor — tanδ = 0.20 (max) measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, indicating low AC loss for the 80 V rating.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1390 µA, enabling predictable standby and operating behavior under DC bias.
• Operating Range & Size — Operating temperature −40°C to +105°C; size φ30 × 30L mm and snap‑in mounting for secure PCB retention and compact power assemblies.
• Production & Compliance — Tray packing and mass production status; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing where long‑life performance at elevated temperature and sustained ripple current are required.
• Ballast Equipment — Suited to ballast applications as specified for the LGY series, offering endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current.
• General‑Purpose High‑Voltage Circuits — General purpose use in 80 V circuits that require polarized bulk capacitance with reliable thermal and ripple performance.

Unique Advantages

• Validated Long‑Life Performance: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current—provides design confidence for extended service intervals.
• High Voltage Capability: 80 V rating expands applicability to higher‑voltage power rails without series stacking.
• Robust Ripple Handling: 2.2 A (120 Hz) and 2.53 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings support both low‑frequency and high‑frequency converter environments.
• Predictable AC Losses: Low tanδ (0.20 at 20°C, 120 Hz) helps minimize heating under AC stress and supports thermal budgeting.
• Compact Snap‑In Form Factor: φ30 × 30L radial can with snap‑in terminals provides secure PCB mounting and a small footprint for power assemblies.
• Production Ready & Compliant: RoHS compliant, tray packing and mass production status simplify procurement and assembly planning.
