LGJ2C221MELA15

The LGJ2C221MELA15 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, low-profile package designed for general-purpose applications. It provides 220 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 160 V with a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C and a 2000‑hour endurance rating at 105°C.

This component delivers polarized capacitance with high ripple-current capability and controlled leakage, packaged in a φ25 × 15 mm can and supplied in tray packing for assembly convenience.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage 220 µF nominal capacitance at 160 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High Temperature Endurance Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with a life specification of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Capability Supports 800 mA ripple at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.2 A ripple at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling robust AC handling for demanding load conditions.
• Leakage Current Low leakage current specified at 560 µA, supporting stable performance after voltage application.
• Package & Mounting Snap-in radial can package (φ25 × 15 mm) for secure PCB mounting and compact, low-profile system integration; supplied in tray packing.
• Polarized Design Conventional polarized aluminum electrolytic construction suitable for circuits that require polarized capacitance.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose systems — Designed for circuits that require a 220 µF, 160 V polarized capacitor with high-temperature endurance and reliable ripple handling.
• Power supply filtering — Useful where up to 800 mA at 120 Hz or 1.2 A at 50 kHz ripple current capability is needed for smoothing and decoupling tasks.
• Industrial electronics — Applicable in industrial equipment requiring a robust 105°C rated, tray-packed snap-in capacitor with a 2000-hour endurance rating.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• Strong ripple performance: Rated ripple currents of 800 mA (120 Hz) and 1.2 A (50 kHz) help maintain stability under AC stress and switching workloads.
• Compact, low-profile snap-in package: φ25 × 15 mm can minimizes board height while offering secure PCB mounting and ease of handling via tray packing.
• Controlled leakage: Specified leakage current of 560 µA supports consistent behavior after voltage application.
• Clear specifications: Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction with ±20% tolerance simplifies selection for designs needing defined capacitance and voltage margins.
