LGG2Z332MELC50

The LGG2Z332MELC50 is a Nichicon LGG series snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It provides 3,300 µF capacitance at a 180 V rating in a compact, snap-in radial can intended for equipment downsizing and robust DC bus applications.

Key value propositions include high ripple-handling capability, extended high-temperature endurance, and a compact footprint—making it suitable for industrial power supplies and other systems requiring high-capacitance, high-voltage bulk energy storage in a reduced case size.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 3,300 µF nominal with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 180 V DC rating suitable for mid-voltage DC bus and bulk smoothing roles.
• High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 3.1 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 4.65 A (100 kHz) for demanding power-filtering applications.
• Loss Tangent (DF) — tanδ (DF) 0.15 maximum measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting predictable losses in AC ripple environments.
• Endurance & Reliability — Rated for 2,000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; leakage current specified at 2,310 µA.
• Wide Operating Temperature — −40°C to +105°C for broad environmental resilience.
• Compact Snap-In Package — Radial, can-type snap-in mounting with dimensions φ35 × 50 mm and tray packing for production handling; LGG series offers one rank smaller case size than LGN for space-constrained designs.
• RoHS Compliant & Production Ready — Conforms to RoHS requirements and is listed as mass production status for consistent supply.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and DC link capacitance to stabilize high-voltage rails and reduce voltage ripple under load.
• Inverter & Motor Drive Systems — Energy buffering and ripple suppression in mid-voltage inverter stages where 180 V ratings and high ripple current capability are required.
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) & Backup Power — Energy storage and smoothing in DC bus networks for reliable ride-through and transient handling.

Unique Advantages

• High-capacitance in a compact package — 3,300 µF at 180 V delivered in a φ35 × 50 mm snap-in can helps reduce board area for bulk energy storage.
• Superior ripple handling — 3.1 A (120 Hz) and 4.65 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings enable effective smoothing across a range of switching frequencies.
• Designed for high-temperature endurance — 2,000 hours at 105°C ensures stable performance in thermally demanding environments.
• Predictable electrical losses — tanδ ≤ 0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz supports thermal and efficiency planning in designs.
• Production-ready supply — Tray-packed and in mass production, simplifying procurement and assembly for volume projects.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction for environmentally regulated markets.
