Overview of LQS2G271MELB30 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap‑in, 400 V / 270 µF
The LQS2G271MELB30 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for high‑speed charge–discharge applications. It provides 270 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating and is polarized for DC use.
Designed for power electronics that experience high‑frequency regenerative voltage and fluctuating supply conditions, this capacitor targets general inverters, AC servomotor regenerative circuits and rectifier/voltage‑doubler circuits where high temperature endurance and reliable ripple handling matter.
Key Features
- Electrical: 270 µF, 400 V — Rated capacitance of 270 µF at 400 V for DC power applications.
- High temperature operation — Specified operating range from −25°C to +105°C, enabling use in elevated ambient conditions.
- High‑speed charge–discharge capability — Engineered for rapid charge/discharge behavior suitable for high‑frequency regenerative voltages and inverter environments.
- Polarized design with ±20% tolerance — Polar capacitor with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Snap‑in mounting, radial can — Snap‑in terminal package for secure board retention in power assemblies.
- Ripple current performance — Rated ripple current of 1.22 A at 120 Hz and 1.745 A at 50 kHz to support ripple and high‑frequency loading.
- Durability and endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; charge–discharge endurance tested for 50 million cycles with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ and leakage.
- Leakage and dissipation control — Leakage current specified by I ≤ 3√(C·V) after conditioning; tan δ max. 0.15 at the 400 V rating (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- AC servomotor regenerative circuits — Handles high‑frequency regenerative voltage pulses and rapid charge/discharge cycles in motor drive systems.
- General inverters and power converters — Provides bulk energy storage and ripple smoothing in inverter DC link and power conversion stages.
- Rectifier / voltage doubler circuits — Suited for rectifier topologies that experience voltage fluctuation and require stable DC filtering.
