LGG2P821MELA40

The Nichicon LGG2P821MELA40 is a snap‑in terminal, ultra‑smaller‑sized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a rated capacitance of 820 µF and a rated voltage of 220 V. It is a polarized radial can designed for general purpose applications and compact equipment designs.

Engineered for elevated operating temperatures, the LGG2P821MELA40 is specified for operation from −40 °C to +105 °C and is compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863). The capacitor combines high capacitance, snap‑in mounting, and a reduced case size for space‑conscious power and electronic assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated at 820 µF and 220 V to support general‑purpose energy storage and smoothing tasks.
• High‑temperature Rating & Endurance — Operating temperature range −40 °C to +105 °C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting for secure mechanical retention and straightforward board or chassis installation.
• Ripple Current Specifications — Rated ripple current of 1.93 A at 120 Hz and 2.895 A at 100 kHz for defined AC stress handling at low and high frequencies.
• Compact Physical Profile — Ultra‑smaller‑sized LGG series construction with dimensions L: 4 × D: 2.5 cm and the series note of being one rank smaller than LGN for equipment downsizing.
• Electrical Stability & Leakage — Leakage current meets I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tan δ maximum for rated voltage bands is specified in the datasheet (e.g., 0.15 max for 160–420 V at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• RoHS Compliant — Manufactured to comply with RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuits — Energy storage and smoothing in a wide range of general‑purpose electronic circuits where a polarized electrolytic capacitor is required.
• Compact power modules — Suited to equipment downsizing thanks to the LGG series’ one‑rank‑smaller case size and the component’s compact L × D footprint.
• Elevated‑temperature environments — Applicable in assemblies that require reliable capacitance performance up to 105 °C and defined endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance at elevated voltage — 820 µF at 220 V provides substantial stored energy within a compact snap‑in can.
• Designed for higher operating temperatures — 105 °C rating and 2000‑hour endurance at that temperature support stability in warm operating environments.
• Defined ripple handling — Published ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to evaluate AC stress performance across frequency ranges.
• Space‑saving LGG series form factor — One rank smaller case size (vs. LGN) helps reduce enclosure footprint where board real estate is limited.
• Measured electrical characteristics — Series specifications include leakage current limits (I ≤ 3√CV) and tan δ limits, enabling predictable electrical behavior and easier design validation.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in designs that require restricted‑substance adherence.
