LGG2E102MELA50

The LGG2E102MELA50 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series, designed for general‑purpose power applications that benefit from compact, high‑voltage filtering components. This ultra‑smaller‑sized, polarized radial can capacitor supports equipment downsizing while delivering reliable high‑temperature performance.

Key characteristics include a 1 mF capacitance at a 250 V rating, snap‑in mounting for secure board installation, RoHS compliance, and endurance validated at elevated temperature and ripple conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF capacitance rated for 250 V, providing bulk energy storage and DC filtering in higher‑voltage power circuits.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation up to 105°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction for robust chassis or PCB mounting in compact power assemblies.
• Compact Footprint — Marketed as ultra‑smaller‑sized within the LGG series and suited for equipment downsizing; physical size listed as L: 5 × D: 2.5 cm.
• Ripple Current Handling — Specified ripple capability of 2.2 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.3 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting smoothing under real ripple conditions.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polar capacitor type for DC applications where orientation is observed.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage defined by I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after five minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C, providing a measurable acceptance criterion for leakage performance.
• Low‑Temperature Stability — Data in the LGG series indicates defined impedance stability at low temperatures for the 160–250 V range, supporting predictable behavior down to −25°C relative to +20°C.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in 250 V DC power rails for industrial and commercial equipment.
• High‑voltage DC link support — Energy storage and ripple attenuation in compact power converters and DC link circuits.
• Equipment downsizing — Applications where reduced component footprint is a priority while maintaining high‑temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high‑voltage solution: 250 V rating combined with an ultra‑smaller‑sized LGG package enables higher power density designs.
• Designed for elevated operating temperature: 105°C rating and 2000‑hour endurance at that temperature support deployment in thermally demanding environments.
• Robust ripple performance: Defined ripple current specifications at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to match capacitor selection to expected operating conditions.
• Secure, serviceable mounting: Snap‑in radial can construction provides reliable mechanical retention and straightforward installation in power assemblies.
• Measured leakage criterion: Leakage current limit (I ≤ 3√CV) gives clear acceptance criteria for quality and screening.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regions and projects with restricted substances requirements.
