LGG2P182MELC40

The LGG2P182MELC40 is a snap‑in terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series, offering 1800 µF capacitance at 220 V in a compact φ35 × 40 mm can. It is designed for general‑purpose applications that require bulk DC capacitance with a reduced case size to aid equipment downsizing.

This part is specified for continuous operation across −40°C to +105°C (applicable for the 160–250 V category) and is supplied in tray packing for mass production environments. It is RoHS compliant and built to deliver predictable endurance under rated conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 1.8 mF (1800 µF) rated at 220 V for bulk energy storage and DC smoothing in higher‑voltage circuits.
• Compact Snap‑in Package: Radial, can‑type snap‑in termination in a φ35 × 40 mm footprint — one rank smaller case sizing than the LGN series to support equipment downsizing.
• Wide Temperature Range: Rated for −40°C to +105°C operation (for 160–250 V ratings), supporting elevated ambient applications.
• Endurance at High Temperature: Specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance change within ±20% after endurance testing per datasheet conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 2.7 A at 120 Hz and 4.05 A at 100 kHz, enabling reliable AC stress handling within specified limits.
• Leakage and Reliability: Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C; endurance and shelf‑life requirements ensure leakage returns to initial specified values after conditioning.
• Polarized, Tray Packing: Polarized aluminum electrolytic with tray packing suitable for production workflows.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Systems: Bulk DC smoothing and energy storage where 1800 µF at 220 V and snap‑in mounting are required.
• Equipment Downsizing Projects: Designs seeking reduced capacitor case size benefit from the LGG series’ one‑rank smaller footprint compared with LGN.
• High‑Temperature Environments: Circuits operating up to +105°C where a 2000‑hour endurance at elevated temperature is required.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance in a Compact Can: 1800 µF at 220 V in a φ35 × 40 mm package reduces board space while delivering substantial charge storage.
• Snap‑in Terminals for Robust Mounting: Radial, snap‑in construction simplifies secure PCB mounting for high‑current and mechanical stability requirements.
• Engineered for Elevated‑Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides a predictable life profile for thermal stress scenarios.
• Quantified Ripple Handling: Rated ripple specifications at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz enable designers to match the part to their application’s AC stress profile.
• Measurable Leakage Behavior: Leakage current bounded by the datasheet formula (I ≤ 3√CV µA) for straightforward design margin calculations.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS directive requirements for environmental compliance in production systems.
