LGG2C681MELZ30

The LGG2C681MELZ30 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series. It provides 680 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in an ultra-smaller-sized snap-in can intended for general-purpose electronic equipment.

Designed for compact assemblies, the LGG series offers reduced case size relative to previous families and is suitable for equipment downsizing while delivering rated performance across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 680 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Compact Snap-In Package — Radial, can-type snap-in mounting in a φ22 × 30 mm package (tray packing), enabling space-efficient board assembly.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C to support designs that require elevated temperature capability.
• Endurance at High Temperature — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with defined limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage after endurance testing.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple handling of 1.5 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.25 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with AC ripple stress.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 0.98 mA for the 680 µF, 160 V configuration.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance in assemblies where a 680 µF, 160 V electrolytic capacitor is required for general-purpose use.
• Space-constrained systems — Suited for equipment downsizing thanks to the LGG series’ reduced case size relative to prior families.
• High-temperature installations — Applicable where operation up to +105°C and a 2000-hour endurance rating are required.

Unique Advantages

• Smaller case for compact designs: One-rank-smaller case sizing in the LGG series helps reduce board area compared with larger series.
• Snap-in mounting: Radial snap-in terminals simplify mechanical retention and board assembly for through-hole layouts.
• High-voltage capability: 160 V rated voltage supports higher-voltage general-purpose applications.
• Defined high-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides predictable long-term performance metrics.
• Measured ripple performance: Specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz help designers assess thermal and ripple stress limits.
• RoHS compliance: Meets applicable RoHS requirements for environmental regulatory alignment.
