Overview of LKX2G121MESA25 – 400 V Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 120 µF
The LKX2G121MESA25 is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and switching power supply applications. It delivers 120 µF at a 400 V rating in a compact φ25 × 25 mm can with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting.
Engineered for elevated operating conditions, this RoHS‑compliant part is specified for operation from −25°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable where stability and long‑term reliability under heat are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 120 µF rated capacitance at 400 V, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C (endurance tested under rated DC bias plus ripple current).
- Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ specified at 0.15 (measurement context per datasheet: 120 Hz, 20°C), supporting stable performance in audio and power circuits.
- Ripple Current Capability — Low frequency ripple current 0.73 A (730 mA at 120 Hz) and high frequency ripple current 1.044 A at 50 kHz to support filtering in supply rails and decoupling duties.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 650 µA.
- Mounting & Package — Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 25 mm) for robust, low‑profile board installation; supplied in tray packing for production use.
- Polarized — Suitable for DC filter and energy storage roles where polarity is defined.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Audio Equipment — Bulk filtering and power smoothing in audio power supplies where low loss and stable capacitance support sound quality.
- Switching Power Supplies — Output filtering and energy storage for high‑voltage rails, leveraging the 400 V rating and robust ripple current handling.
- General Purpose Power Systems — DC bus smoothing and decoupling in industrial and commercial power electronics that operate up to 105°C.
Unique Advantages
- High‑voltage capability: 400 V rating enables use on higher DC rails without series stacking, simplifying board design.
- Compact can size: φ25 × 25 mm footprint provides high capacitance in a space‑efficient package for constrained layouts.
- Designed for elevated temps: 2000 h endurance at 105°C offers predictable performance in high‑temperature operating environments.
- Frequency‑range ripple support: Specified ripple current at both low and high frequencies (120 Hz and 50 kHz) helps assure reliable filtering across switching and line frequencies.
- Production ready packaging: Tray packing suited for automated assembly and consistent handling during manufacturing.
