LGG2C102MELA35

The LGG2C102MELA35 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1000 µF capacitance at 160 V. Designed as a compact, snap-in can for general-purpose use, it targets equipment downsizing with a smaller case profile compared to the LGN series.

This part is specified for operation from –40°C to +105°C and delivers a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current. It is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for mass production use.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1000 µF rated capacitance at 160 V for high-energy bulk storage in a compact package.
• Snap-in Terminal Package: Radial, snap-in can package (φ25 × 35 mm) for secure PCB mounting where high capacitance and secure mechanical retention are required.
• Operating Temperature Range: −40°C to +105°C specified operating range for a wide variety of general-purpose environments.
• Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current; after endurance test the part meets capacitance, tan δ and leakage current limits defined in the datasheet.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 2.2 A (120 Hz) and 3.3 A (100 kHz), enabling effective smoothing of ripple on power rails within those test conditions.
• Leakage Current and Loss Characteristics: Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ maximum for 160 V range is 0.15 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Polarized Electrolytic: Polarized configuration suitable for DC applications requiring electrolytic bulk capacitance.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Bulk Filtering: Bulk energy storage and smoothing on 160 V DC rails in general-purpose power supplies and converters.
• Equipment Downsizing: Replacement where reduced case size is required—the LGG series provides a one-rank smaller case than LGN for compact designs.
• Industrial Electronics: DC link and smoothing roles in industrial control and power electronics where long-term endurance at elevated temperature is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Compact High-Capacity Package: 1000 µF in a φ25 × 35 mm snap-in can reduces board area compared with larger case options, supporting smaller equipment footprints.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Specified 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides predictable long-term performance for high-temperature applications.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Published ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to match the part to expected operating ripple conditions.
• Standards-Based Leakage and Loss Limits: Leakage current and tan δ defined by datasheet formulas and limits support reliable selection and verification during design validation.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmental and regulatory conformity in production builds.
