LGG2E102MELC30

The LGG2E102MELC30 is a Nichicon LGG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package. It provides 1000 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 250 V rated voltage for general‑purpose power applications.

Designed for compact, high‑temperature environments, this snap‑in unit supports up to 105°C operation, 2000 hours endurance at 105°C, and high ripple handling for both low and high frequency power systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1000 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 250 V DC rating for mid‑voltage power rails and energy storage.
• High Ripple Current — 2000 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3000 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support smoothing and filtering under significant AC ripple.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1500 µA; datasheet also provides standard leakage limits (I ≤ 3√CV μA after 5 minutes at 20°C).
• Endurance & Temperature — 2000 hours rated life at 105°C; operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C.
• Compact Snap‑in Package — Radial, can snap‑in mounting for secure PCB retention and efficient assembly; physical size approximately φ35 × 30 mm.
• Series Characteristics — Part of the LGG series noted for 105°C ultra‑smaller‑sized snap‑in construction and suitability for equipment downsizing.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — For rated voltages in the 160–420 V range, tan δ (max) is 0.15 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) as specified in the series datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk energy storage and smoothing on mid‑voltage DC rails where a 250 V rating and high ripple current capability are required.
• DC bus smoothing — Use on inverter or converter DC bus sections to reduce voltage ripple thanks to high low‑ and high‑frequency ripple handling.
• Industrial power electronics — General‑purpose energy storage and decoupling in industrial control power modules that operate across −40°C to +105°C.
• Equipment downsizing — Applicable where reduced case size is needed while retaining high temperature endurance and ripple performance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated for 2 A at 120 Hz and 3 A at 100 kHz, enabling reliable filtering under both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple conditions.
• Wide operating temperature range: −40°C to +105°C operation with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C supports demanding thermal environments.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ35 × 30 mm radial can with snap‑in termination provides secure PCB mounting and supports assembly efficiency in mass production.
• Clear performance limits: Specified leakage current and tan δ values allow engineers to size and validate designs against measurable parameters.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental requirements for restricted substances, simplifying compliance for regulated products.
