LGG2E122MELC35

The LGG2E122MELC35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series, offering 1.2 mF (1200 µF) capacitance at a rated voltage of 250 V. Designed for general‑purpose power applications, it delivers high ripple current capability and long endurance in a compact snap‑in can package.

Key value comes from its high ripple tolerance (2.2 A at 120 Hz, 3.3 A at 100 kHz), a rated operating range of −40°C to 105°C, and a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C, making it suitable for equipment that requires reliable bulk capacitance in a smaller case size. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for mass production.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 1.2 mF (1200 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing substantial bulk energy storage for power systems.
• Rated Voltage: 250 V DC rated voltage suitable for medium‑voltage power applications.
• Robust Ripple Performance: Supports 2.2 A ripple current at 120 Hz and 3.3 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective filtering under both low and high frequency ripple conditions.
• Endurance and Temperature Range: 2000 hours life at 105°C and an operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C for extended high‑temperature reliability.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1640 µA (measured after rated voltage application), supporting predictable bias behavior in DC circuits.
• Snap‑in, Radial Can Package: Snap‑in terminal mounting in a radial can (φ35 × 35 mm) for secure board attachment and compact installation; tray packing for production handling.
• Series Advantages: Part of the LGG family, described as “105°C Ultra‑Smaller‑Sized” and one rank smaller than LGN, facilitating equipment downsizing while maintaining performance.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies and Converters: Bulk smoothing and energy buffering in medium‑voltage DC power supplies where high ripple current capability and 250 V rating are needed.
• Industrial Electronics: General‑purpose power rails in industrial control and power conversion equipment that require long endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Commercial Equipment: Energy storage and filtering for commercial UPS, motor drives, and other systems benefitting from high capacitance in a reduced case size.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Handling: Precise ripple ratings at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies mean predictable thermal and electrical performance under varying load conditions.
• Compact High‑Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C combines long life with a smaller case footprint, supporting equipment downsizing without sacrificing durability.
• Reliable Polarized Design: Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction delivers consistent bulk capacitance for DC applications.
• Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production availability simplify procurement and assembly for volume manufacturing.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory conformity in commercial and industrial products.
