LGG2C182MELC30

The Nichicon LGG2C182MELC30 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from the LGG series featuring a snap‑in terminal design. It delivers 1800 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating with ±20% tolerance and is optimized for general‑purpose power applications that require compact, high‑voltage bulk capacitance.

Built for elevated operating conditions, this part offers a 105 °C endurance rating (2000 hours), low loss (tan δ 0.15 at 20 °C / 120 Hz), measurable low leakage, and high ripple current capability, packaged in a φ35 × 30 mm snap‑in can for equipment downsizing and mass production environments.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance: 1.8 mF capacitance at 160 V with ±20% tolerance provides substantial bulk energy storage for power conditioning and smoothing.
• Low Loss Characteristics: Tan δ 0.15 (max) measured at 20 °C and 120 Hz for controlled dissipation in AC conditions.
• High Ripple Current Handling: Rated ripple current of 2.55 A at 120 Hz and 3.825 A at 100 kHz to support heavy ripple and switching‑frequency environments.
• Low Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1.6 mA for predictable standby and off‑state behavior.
• High‑Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated voltage and ripple, supporting sustained operation in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Wide Operating Range: −40 °C to +105 °C operating temperature range for use across varied industrial temperature profiles.
• Compact Snap‑in Package: Radial, snap‑in can sized φ35 × 30 mm; part of an “ultra‑smaller” 105 °C series that is one rank smaller than LGN, suited to equipment downsizing.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant manufacturing.
• Production Packaging: Tray packing suitable for mass production assembly.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk smoothing and filtering where high‑voltage capacitance and sustained ripple handling are required.
• Power Conversion and Inverters: Energy storage and ripple absorption in converter DC links and inverter input stages operating at elevated temperatures.
• UPS / Backup Power Systems: Bulk capacitance for charge storage and smoothing in uninterruptible power supply circuits.
• Space‑Constrained Equipment: Suitable for designs targeting equipment downsizing due to its smaller case size relative to the LGN series.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high‑voltage bulk capacitance: 1.8 mF at 160 V offers substantial energy storage in a φ35 × 30 mm footprint, helping reduce component count.
• Robust ripple tolerance: Dual ripple ratings (2.55 A at 120 Hz and 3.825 A at 100 kHz) provide design flexibility across mains‑frequency and switching‑frequency applications.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 2000 hours endurance at 105 °C under rated conditions supports long service life in heated enclosures.
• Predictable leakage and loss: Specified leakage current and tan δ maximum enable accurate power‑loss budgeting and thermal design.
• Snap‑in package for streamlined assembly: Radial snap‑in terminals facilitate secure mechanical mounting and efficient production line installation.
• RoHS compliance and mass production packaging: Environmentally compliant construction and tray packing support regulated production processes.
