Overview of LGG2Z122MELZ50 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap-in Terminal Type, 105°C Ultra-Smaller-Sized
The LGG2Z122MELZ50 is a Nichicon LGG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal radial can package designed for general-purpose use. This ultra-smaller-sized, snap-in capacitor delivers 1.2 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 180 V with operation up to 105 °C and RoHS compliance.
Engineered for compact equipment designs, the LGG2Z122MELZ50 combines high ripple capability and a specified endurance at elevated temperature to support demanding electrical assemblies where space and thermal performance matter.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF rated capacitance at 180 V for DC energy storage and smoothing in general-purpose designs.
- High-Temperature Operation — Rated for operation up to 105 °C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
- Compact Snap-In Packaging — Snap-in terminal radial can package and ultra-smaller-sized construction (one rank smaller case than LGN) to support equipment downsizing and secure chassis mounting.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.15 A at 120 Hz and 3.225 A at 100 kHz to handle AC ripple in power applications.
- Operating Range & Tolerance — Polarized capacitor with operating temperature range of –40 °C to 105 °C and capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
- Standards & Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electrical equipment — Provides bulk capacitance and DC energy storage where a 1.2 mF, 180 V snap-in capacitor is required.
- Compact system designs — Suited for equipment downsizing thanks to its ultra-smaller-sized case compared with LGN-series equivalents.
- High-temperature environments — Designed for use in assemblies that require rated performance up to 105 °C and specified endurance under elevated temperature and ripple conditions.
Unique Advantages
- High-temperature endurance: 2000 hours rated life at 105 °C under specified test conditions, supporting reliable operation in hot environments.
- Compact footprint: Ultra-smaller-sized LGG-series case (one rank smaller than LGN) to help reduce enclosure size without sacrificing capacitance.
- Robust ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 2.15 A (120 Hz) and 3.225 A (100 kHz) to accommodate common AC ripple profiles in power circuits.
- Secure snap-in mounting: Snap-in terminal radial can package for reliable mechanical and electrical connection in chassis-mounted designs.
- Wide ambient range: –40 °C to 105 °C operating temperature range for versatility across diverse deployment conditions.
- RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.
Why Choose LGG2Z122MELZ50?
The LGG2Z122MELZ50 positions itself as a practical, compact aluminum electrolytic solution for general-purpose designs that require 1.2 mF at 180 V with reliable high-temperature performance. Its snap-in radial can packaging and ultra-smaller-sized LGG-series case make it a fit where board- or chassis-mounted bulk capacitance must be delivered in a reduced footprint.
Designed and specified for endurance at 105 °C, measurable ripple current ratings, and RoHS compliance, this part is well suited for engineers targeting robust, space-efficient power and electrical subsystems that need verified performance and predictable long-term behavior.
