Overview of LGG2E122MELB45 – 1200 µF, 250 V Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGG2E122MELB45 is a snap-in, radial can aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series, delivering 1200 μF capacitance at a 250 V rating. Designed for general-purpose power applications, it provides high ripple handling and a compact footprint for equipment downsizing.
Built for robust thermal performance, this part is rated for operation from –40°C to +105°C with a 2000 hour endurance at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, making it suitable for demanding power-filtering and energy-storage roles in industrial and electronic systems.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1200 μF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at a 250 V rated voltage for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
- High Ripple Capability — Handles 2.3 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.45 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting heavy ripple environments.
- Thermal & Endurance — Operating temperature range –40°C to +105°C with a 2000 h endurance rating at 105°C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current.
- Leakage & Polarization — Polarized aluminum electrolytic device with specified leakage current of 1640 μA after rated voltage application.
- Compact Snap-in Package — Radial, can-style snap-in mounting in a φ30 × 45 mm case for secure board attachment and space-efficient layouts.
- Compliance — RoHS compliant construction.
- Series Advantage — LGG series is specified as 105°C Ultra-Smaller-Sized and is one rank smaller in case size than the LGN series, aiding equipment downsizing.
Typical Applications
- Power supply smoothing — Bulk filtering and decoupling in AC/DC and DC/DC converters where 250 V rating and high ripple current are required.
- Industrial power electronics — Energy storage and ripple damping in motor drives, control cabinets, and industrial power modules operating up to 105°C.
- General-purpose electronic systems — DC link, bulk capacitor, and smoothing roles in systems requiring polarized, high-capacitance components with snap-in mounting.
Unique Advantages
- High-capacitance at elevated voltage: 1200 μF at 250 V provides substantial bulk energy storage in a single component.
- Strong ripple performance: Rated for 2.3 A (120 Hz) and 3.45 A (100 kHz) ripple currents to support demanding filtering tasks.
- Compact, space-saving package: φ30 × 45 mm snap-in can reduces board footprint and simplifies secure mounting for high-current applications.
- Extended thermal endurance: 2000 h at 105°C under rated conditions supports long-term stability in high-temperature environments.
- Series optimization for downsizing: LGG series offers an ultra-smaller-sized option compared to LGN, helping reduce overall equipment size.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for use in regulated production environments.
