LGG2C272MELC40

The LGG2C272MELC40 is a Nichicon LGG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal can, rated 160 V with 2700 µF capacitance. It is specified for general‑purpose applications and engineered for space‑constrained designs, offering high ripple handling and elevated temperature endurance.

Key value comes from a compact, snap‑in package (φ35 × 40 mm) combined with a wide operating temperature range (‑40 °C to 105 °C) and a 2000 hour endurance rating at 105 °C, making it suitable for equipment downsizing where reliable bulk capacitance and ripple performance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2700 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (‑20%~20%).
• Low Loss Characteristics — Maximum tanδ 0.15 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting stable loss performance under rated conditions.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated low‑frequency ripple 3.0 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple 4.5 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective handling of AC ripple currents in power circuits.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1970 µA after standard voltage application conditions.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operating temperature range from ‑40 °C to 105 °C with an endurance (life) rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated bias and ripple conditions.
• Compact Snap‑In Package — Radial, snap‑in can package (φ35 × 40 mm) designed to be one rank smaller than LGN series, supporting equipment downsizing; supplied in tray packing and available in mass production status.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Specified as a general‑purpose capacitor for use in compact electronic equipment where a high‑capacitance, 160 V snap‑in solution is required.
• Equipment Downsizing — Designed to be one rank smaller than the LGN series, making it suitable for applications that require reduced component footprint without sacrificing capacitance.
• Power Conversion and Filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and rated ripple handling for power circuitry operating up to 160 V, in designs that require elevated temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance at 160 V: 2700 µF provides substantial energy storage for circuits operating at 160 V, reducing the need for parallel parts to reach capacitance targets.
• Strong Ripple Handling: Combined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple ratings (3.0 A at 120 Hz; 4.5 A at 100 kHz) support effective smoothing under varied switching environments.
• Compact Snap‑In Form Factor: φ35 × 40 mm radial snap‑in can that is one rank smaller than LGN, enabling smaller board layouts and easier mechanical integration.
• Elevated Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 105 °C ensures reliability for sustained thermal stress conditions specified in the endurance data.
• Predictable Loss and Leakage: Specified tanδ (max. 0.15 at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and leakage current (1970 µA) allow for accurate thermal and leakage budgeting in system designs.
• RoHS Compliant and Production Ready: Environmentally compliant and available in tray packing as a mass‑production part for predictable supply chain integration.
