Overview of LGG2C122MELA40 – 105°C Ultra‑Smaller Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor

The LGG2C122MELA40 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for compact, general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 1.2 mF capacitance at a 160 V rating in an ultra‑smaller case intended to support equipment downsizing.

With a 25 × 40 mm can (D × L), a wide operating temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C under rated bias and ripple, this part is targeted at designs that require high voltage handling, elevated temperature tolerance and reliable ripple performance in a compact snap‑in package.

Key Features

  • Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF (1200 μF) rated at 160 V for energy storage and decoupling in higher‑voltage circuits.
  • High‑Temperature Operation & Endurance — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation with endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
  • Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.3 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple rating of 3.45 A at 100 kHz to support demanding AC ripple conditions.
  • Compact Snap‑in Package — Radial, can‑type snap‑in mounting in a 25 × 40 mm footprint for secure board or chassis installation while minimizing space.
  • Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current described by I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; part table entry indicates leakage ~1.31 mA for this code. Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max 0.15 at 120 Hz, 20°C for the rated voltage range.
  • Low‑Temperature Stability — Impedance stability characterized with Z(–25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 4 for the 160–250 V range, supporting cold‑start performance.
  • RoHS Compliant — Manufactured in compliance with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

  • Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in higher‑voltage AC/DC and DC/DC converters where 160 V rating and elevated ripple capability are required.
  • Industrial Equipment — General‑purpose filtering and decoupling in industrial control and power systems operating up to +105°C ambient.
  • Commercial Electronics — Energy storage and transient suppression in compact commercial power modules that benefit from a smaller case size.

Unique Advantages

  • Higher Voltage Handling: 160 V rating enables use in circuits requiring elevated DC voltage while maintaining capacitor capacitance.
  • Compact Footprint: One rank smaller case sizing (ultra‑smaller series) allows equipment downsizing without sacrificing capacitance.
  • Strong Ripple Performance: Rated ripple currents of 2.3 A (120 Hz) and 3.45 A (100 kHz) provide margin for applications with significant AC content.
  • Designed for Elevated Temperatures: Endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C supports long‑term performance in hot operating environments.
  • Predictable Electrical Behavior: Specified leakage current formula and tan δ limits give clear, testable criteria for design validation.
  • RoHS Compliance: Conforms to current RoHS directives for environmental and regulatory alignment.
