LGG2C222MELC35

The LGG2C222MELC35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series, offering 2200 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. It delivers high ripple current capability in a compact, snap‑in radial can package, engineered for general‑purpose power applications that require robust energy storage and smoothing.

Designed for operation from −40°C to 105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C, this part is suited to systems that demand sustained performance under elevated temperature and continuous ripple loading.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 2200 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, providing predictable bulk energy storage and smoothing for DC rails.
• Rated Voltage — 160 V working voltage suitable for higher‑voltage power electronics and intermediate DC bus applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Supports 2.9 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.35 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective handling of both line‑frequency and switching noise.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated DC bias plus rated ripple, ensuring long service life under thermal stress.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to 105°C, covering a wide range of industrial and commercial ambient conditions.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — φ35 × 35L compact snap‑in form factor for secure board mounting and simplified assembly in power modules.
• Leakage Current Specification — Specified leakage current of 1770 µA, available for thermal and leakage budgeting in system designs.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for lead‑free manufacturing compliance.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Bulk Smoothing — Provides bulk capacitance on DC rails to reduce ripple and stabilize intermediate bus voltages in industrial and commercial power supplies.
• Switch‑Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) — Handles both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple currents from switching stages, aiding in output filtering and energy buffering.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Used where higher working voltages and sustained ripple handling are required in compact snap‑in packaging.
• Hold‑up and Energy Storage — Offers stored energy capacity for short hold‑up intervals or transient support on higher‑voltage circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Snap‑in Form Factor — φ35 × 35L radial can and snap‑in terminals simplify board layout and mechanical retention in dense power assemblies.
• Strong Ripple Performance — Dual ripple ratings (2.9 A @120 Hz and 4.35 A @100 kHz) provide design flexibility for both line‑frequency and high‑frequency switching environments.
• Designed for Elevated Temperature Endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C under rated bias and ripple current supports reliable long‑term operation in hot operating environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to 105°C allows deployment across a broad set of industrial and commercial conditions.
• Predictable Electrical Parameters — Clear specifications for capacitance, tolerance, leakage current, and ripple current ease component selection and system validation.
• RoHS Compliance — Aligns with lead‑free manufacturing and environmental requirements for modern product lifecycles.
