ELM2FM101P20KT
AiSHi LM series snap-in capacitor, 100 uF at 315 V, 105 °C with 3000-hour life for higher-voltage DC links.
The ELM2FM101P20KT is an AiSHi LM series snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 315 V with 100 uF. It extends the LM range to the higher 315 V class, which suits a rectified high-voltage bus with margin for switching overshoot, such as in solar inverters and switch-mode power supplies. The LM series is a large-capacitance snap-in and lug family rated 105 °C with a 3000-hour endurance, designed for the DC link and bulk capacitance of frequency converters, professional power supplies and inverters. A snap-in capacitor mounts directly on the printed circuit board with two or three terminals, which gives a firm connection without a clamp and simplifies assembly, and the standardized case grid means the part drops into a common footprint. Because the voltage is higher, the capacitance per can is lower, so a bank of several capacitors is common to reach the required energy. The 105 °C grade with the 3000-hour endurance suits a warm enclosure. Typical uses include the primary bulk capacitance of a high-voltage supply, the bus of a solar inverter and the DC link of an industrial converter. Every capacitor BeiLuo ships is factory-traceable and includes an import declaration, a certificate of origin and a RoHS compliance file.
FAE Professional Review
The ELM2FM101P20KT is the 315 V part for higher-bus designs where a 250 V class would not have enough margin, such as solar and high-voltage supplies. The capacitance is lower at this voltage, so plan a bank and keep the sharing even. Keep the ripple within the rating at the expected case temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
What projects suit the ELM2FM101P20KT?
It suits designs with a higher bus that need a 315 V class with margin, such as solar inverters and high-voltage supplies. The 100 uF capacitance per can means a bank is common to reach the required energy.
Confirm the bank sharing and the ripple margin.
How do I share current across a bank?
Paralleling capacitors shares the ripple current, so the total bank ripple is the sum of the individual ratings. Keep the board trace impedance balanced so the current shares evenly, and verify the ripple on each capacitor under load.
Our FAE team can review the bank layout.
