LAQ2P221MELZ30

The LAQ2P221MELZ30 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LAQ series. It delivers 220 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating in a compact snap‑in radial can (φ22 × 30 mm) optimized for general‑purpose power applications.

Designed for high‑temperature endurance up to +105°C and long operating life, this capacitor targets equipment requiring reliable bulk capacitance, ripple handling and compact board‑level mounting.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a 220 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing stable energy storage for general‑purpose circuits.
• Snap‑in Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (φ22 × 30 mm) package for secure board mounting and straightforward assembly in panel or chassis power modules.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting sustained high‑temperature operation.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 900 mA at 120 Hz and 1.08 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under AC ripple conditions.
• Low Leakage & Loss — Specified leakage current of 0.66 mA and tan δ (dissipation factor) ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C, for controlled standby loss and predictable behavior.
• Safety Venting — Pressure‑relief vent designed to operate without flames or dispersion of capacitor pieces under abnormal conditions.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and rated ripple performance make it suitable for smoothing and filtering tasks in general‑purpose power equipment.
• Industrial power modules — High temperature endurance (2000 h at 105°C) supports use in industrial control and power delivery modules exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• Board‑level energy storage — Snap‑in radial mounting and compact φ22 × 30 mm package simplify integration where secure mechanical mounting and moderate capacitance are required.

Unique Advantages

• Robust high‑temperature performance: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable life under sustained elevated temperatures.
• Balanced ripple capability: 900 mA (120 Hz) and 1.08 A (10 kHz) ripple ratings accommodate a range of AC conditions without overstressing the part.
• Controlled leakage and dissipation: 0.66 mA leakage and tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz help maintain efficiency and stability in power circuits.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ22 × 30 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals enables secure mounting and space‑efficient layouts.
• Designed safety features: Built‑in pressure‑relief vent reduces risk during abnormal voltage events by operating without flames or dispersion.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status confirms adherence to environmental substance restrictions.
