Overview of LGG2C821MELA30 – 160 V 820 µF Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGG2C821MELA30 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series. It delivers 820 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact φ25 × 30 mm can, designed for general-purpose power applications that require high ripple handling and high-temperature endurance.
Part of the LGG family, this component is optimized for equipment downsizing while maintaining reliable performance up to 105°C and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 820 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
- High Ripple Current Capability: Handles 2 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting demanding ripple conditions in power circuits.
- Elevated Temperature Endurance: Rated for operation from –40°C to 105°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions.
- Controlled Leakage: Leakage current specified at 1080 µA, supporting predictable bias and low standby losses after voltage application.
- Compact Snap-In Package: Radial, snap-in can construction in a φ25 × 30 mm form factor, suited for secure board mounting and compact power module layouts.
- RoHS Compliant: Manufactured to meet RoHS directive requirements.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power filtering: Bulk smoothing and decoupling in power supplies where 160 V ratings and high capacitance are required.
- Compact power modules: Use in designs focused on equipment downsizing where a smaller case dimension helps reduce overall footprint.
- High-temperature operating environments: Filtering and energy storage in assemblies that operate up to 105°C with a specified 2000-hour endurance at that temperature.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple tolerance: 2 A (120 Hz) and 3 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings help maintain stability in both low- and high-frequency power applications.
- Compact, snap-in form factor: φ25 × 30 mm can and snap-in terminals simplify board installation while supporting reduced equipment size.
- Long high-temperature life: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for robust thermal environments.
- Predictable leakage performance: Specified leakage current of 1080 µA ensures consistent behavior after rated voltage application.
- Series-level design benefits: Part of the LGG series, designed for smaller-case sizing within the family to aid equipment downsizing strategies.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction for environmental conformity.
