Overview of LQS2W271MELB35 – Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 450 V, 270 µF
The LQS2W271MELB35 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-voltage power electronics. It delivers 270 µF at a 450 V rating in a radial, can-style snap-in package sized 30 × 35 mm and is intended for high-frequency charge–discharge and regenerative applications.
Engineered for demanding power circuits, the part offers high ripple handling, a wide operating temperature range of −25°C to 105°C, and endurance specified to 3000 hours at 105°C. Typical use cases include inverters, AC servomotor drives, and equipment operating in voltage-fluctuating environments where robust high-voltage energy storage is required.
Key Features
- Rated Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance at 450 V, suitable for high-voltage DC bus and energy-storage applications.
- High Ripple Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.23 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.759 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support power-conversion ripple demands.
- Loss Factor (tan δ) — tan δ (DF) 0.20 at 120 Hz (20°C) for the 450 V rating, supporting predictable AC performance.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1040 µA, measurable after rated-voltage application conditions.
- Thermal & Endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
- Robust Charge–Discharge Endurance (Series) — The LQS series is specified for charge–discharge endurance (50 million cycles at designated conditions) per the series datasheet.
- Polar Snap-In Package — Radial, can-style snap-in terminals for secure PCB mounting and high-current connections; supplied in tray packing for mass production.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant per the product information.
Typical Applications
- AC Servomotor Drives — Energy buffering and regenerative voltage handling in servo drive DC buses where frequent charge–discharge events occur.
- General Inverters — DC link and smoothing capacitor for inverters that require high-voltage, high-ripple capability.
- Voltage-Fluctuating Equipment — Systems operating in environments with variable supply voltages, benefiting from the capacitor’s voltage stability and endurance.
- Rectifier / Voltage Doubler Circuits — High-voltage energy storage and smoothing in rectifier topologies and voltage-doubling arrangements.
Unique Advantages
- High-Voltage Energy Storage: 450 V rating with 270 µF capacitance provides significant DC-bus energy density for power-electronic systems.
- Designed for High Ripple: Dual ripple specifications (120 Hz and 50 kHz) support both mains-frequency smoothing and high-frequency switching environments.
- Elevated Temperature Endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions for sustained performance in thermally demanding enclosures.
- Snap-In Mounting: Radial snap-in terminals enable secure mechanical and electrical installation for high-current PCB assemblies.
- Predictable AC Losses: Specified tan δ (0.20 at 450 V, 120 Hz) helps engineers model loss and thermal behavior accurately.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for use in regulated markets.
