LGG2Z222MELB50

The LGG2Z222MELB50 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGG series, designed for general-purpose power applications that require a compact, high-voltage bulk capacitor. It delivers 2.2 mF capacitance at a 180 V rating in an ultra-smaller-sized snap-in can, suited for equipment down-sizing while maintaining high temperature endurance and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF rated at 180 V with capacitance tolerance of ±20% for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated operating range of −40°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting sustained high-temperature operation.
• Compact Snap-in Package — Radial, can-style snap-in mounting for secure board attachment and space-efficient layout; one rank smaller case size than the LGN series to support equipment miniaturization.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.9 A at 120 Hz and 4.35 A at 100 kHz to handle AC ripple in power supply and converter environments.
• Reliability Characteristics — Polarized design with leakage current and tan δ performance per series specification; meets the LGG series endurance and shelf-life criteria when used within rated conditions.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for lead-free manufacturing and regulatory compliance.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing for medium-voltage supplies where compact, high-temperature-capable capacitors are required.
• Power Conversion Modules — Support for ripple filtering and DC-link functions in inverters and converters using a 180 V rated bulk capacitor.
• Equipment Down-Sizing — Ideal for designs targeting reduced enclosure size thanks to the LGG series’ ultra-smaller case size relative to LGN.

Unique Advantages

• Space-Optimized Form Factor: One rank smaller case size than LGN enables reduced board footprint and chassis volume for compact designs.
• High-Temperature Reliability: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable life performance in thermally demanding systems.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to size capacitors for a range of switching and line-frequency conditions.
• Secure Snap-in Mounting: Radial snap-in terminals deliver mechanical stability for assemblies subjected to vibration and handling during manufacturing.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports deployments where lead-free components are required.
