LGG2C102MELZ40

The LGG2C102MELZ40 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series designed for ultra‑smaller‑sized applications. It provides 1 mF (1000 μF) capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact radial can package, intended for general‑purpose use where board space and reliable high‑temperature performance matter.

Key values include a 105°C operating temperature rating, RoHS compliance, and a form factor optimized for equipment downsizing with secure snap‑in mounting and measurable ripple handling for power applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF (1000 μF) nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage for bulk energy storage in medium‑voltage circuits.
• Tolerance & Polarization — ±20% capacitance tolerance (‑20% to +20%); polarized electrolytic construction for proper polarity awareness in circuit design.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from ‑40°C to +105°C with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.1 A at 120 Hz and 3.15 A at 100 kHz, supporting designs with significant AC ripple content.
• Compact Snap‑in Package — Radial can, snap‑in mounting simplifies board installation and mechanical retention while supporting downsized equipment layouts; physical size L: 4 × D: 2.2 cm (22 × 40 mm).
• Leakage & Reliability — Leakage current specified per datasheet formula (I ≤ 3√CV μA after 5 minutes at 20°C) and designed to meet endurance and shelf‑life criteria referenced in the LGG series specifications.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Compact power supplies and converters — Provides bulk capacitance for energy storage and ripple handling in space‑constrained power systems where downsizing is a priority.
• Industrial electronics — Snap‑in mounting and high ripple current ratings suit general‑purpose industrial power modules that operate at elevated temperatures.
• Stationary power and backup systems — 160 V rating and 1 mF capacitance support mid‑voltage energy buffering and hold‑up in general‑purpose designs.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑efficient design: One rank smaller case sizing in the LGG series helps reduce PCB footprint for equipment downsizing without sacrificing capacitance.
• High temperature durability: 105°C rating with a 2000‑hour endurance specification at that temperature provides predictable performance in hotter environments.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to quantify thermal and electrical stress under AC conditions.
• Secure mechanical mounting: Snap‑in radial can termination offers reliable board retention for applications with vibration or handling considerations.
• Regulatory peace of mind: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted‑substance adherence.

Why Choose LGG2C102MELZ40?

LGG2C102MELZ40 positions itself as a compact, high‑temperature rated solution for designers needing 1 mF of capacitance at 160 V in a snap‑in radial can. Its combination of endurance (2000 hours at 105°C), measurable ripple current capability, and a reduced case size makes it suitable for general‑purpose power electronics where space and thermal performance are key considerations.

This capacitor is well suited to engineers and procurement teams specifying components for downsized power systems, industrial modules, and other mid‑voltage applications that require stable bulk capacitance, reliable mounting, and RoHS compliance backed by Nichicon’s LGG series specifications.
