LGG2W221MELA35

The LGG2W221MELA35 is a snap‑in terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series. It delivers 220 µF at a 450 V rating with a compact φ25 × 35 mm can and is targeted for general‑purpose power applications that require high voltage handling and dependable ripple performance.

Designed as an ultra‑smaller‑sized snap‑in solution (one rank smaller than LGN), this capacitor balances high voltage capability, notable ripple current capacity, and 2000 hours endurance at 105°C for equipment downsizing and reliable long‑term operation.

Key Features

• Voltage & Capacitance — Rated at 450 V with 220 µF nominal capacitance and ±20% tolerance, suitable for high‑voltage bulk and smoothing applications.
• Snap‑in Mounting — Radial, can‑type snap‑in terminals provide robust board retention for high‑current and mechanical stability in power assemblies.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 870 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current of 1.244 A (100 kHz) to support demanding ripple and filtering requirements.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 940 µA for predictable bias behavior after voltage application.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, enabling sustained performance in hot operating environments.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for –25°C to +105°C (for 400–450 V range), matching elevated‑temperature system requirements.
• Compact Package — Smaller case sizing relative to LGN series supports equipment downsizing; physical size φ25 × 35 mm (L: 3.5 cm × D: 2.5 cm).
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for reduced hazardous substances.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Conventional polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC applications.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and output smoothing where 450 V capability and 220 µF capacitance are required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Filtering and ripple absorption in industrial assemblies that demand high ripple current and extended endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Equipment Downsizing — Use in systems that benefit from a smaller case size while retaining high voltage and ripple handling characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• High‑Voltage Capability — 450 V rating enables higher DC bus applications without series stacking.
• Strong Ripple Performance — Dual ripple current specifications (120 Hz and 100 kHz) provide designers with predictable thermal and filtering behavior across low and high frequencies.
• Compact, Snap‑in Form Factor — Smaller case size and snap‑in terminals simplify mechanical integration and save PCB/board space.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature — 2000 hours at 105°C under rated stress supports long service life in high‑temperature installations.
• RoHS Compliance — Aligned with environmental requirements for restricted substances.
