LGG2Z102MELZ45

The LGG2Z102MELZ45 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGG series, offering 1000 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 180 V rated voltage. Designed as an ultra‑smaller‑sized, snap‑in radial can, it targets general‑purpose equipment where compact high‑voltage capacitance and reliable ripple handling are required.

Key electrical endurance and thermal specifications include -40°C to 105°C operating range and 2000 hours life at 105°C under rated conditions, making it suitable for applications that need sustained performance at elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable bulk energy and decoupling performance.
• Rated Voltage — 180 V DC rating to support higher-voltage circuits and designs.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 2.1 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.15 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to handle AC ripple in power applications.
• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1270 µA at rated conditions, consistent with electrolytic capacitor leakage limits.
• 105°C Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours life at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance, tan δ and leakage remain within specified post‑test limits.
• Compact Snap‑In Package — Radial snap‑in can (φ22 × 45 mm) in the LGG family’s ultra‑smaller form factor; one rank smaller case size than LGN for equipment downsizing.
• Wide Operating Temperature — −40°C to +105°C operational range for varied environmental conditions.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements for reduced hazardous substances.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power equipment — Bulk capacitance and high ripple capability for AC/DC and DC/DC power stages in compact systems.
• Industrial electronics — Designed for equipment that benefits from a smaller case size while maintaining 180 V voltage handling and robust thermal endurance.
• Down‑sized equipment designs — Ultra‑smaller LGG series form factor supports equipment downsizing where board space and vertical profile are constrained.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 2.1 A (120 Hz) and 3.15 A (100 kHz) support sustained AC stress handling in power circuits.
• Thermal endurance at 105°C: 2000 hours life under rated conditions provides measurable long‑term stability for elevated‑temperature deployments.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ22 × 45 mm radial can delivers 1000 µF in a smaller case compared with preceding LGN sizes, enabling board‑level space savings.
• Measured leakage performance: Leakage current specified at 1270 µA, with post‑endurance leakage guaranteed not to exceed initial limits.
• RoHS compliant manufacturing: Meets RoHS directive requirements for use in assemblies requiring restricted substances compliance.
