LGJ2E221MELC15

The LGJ2E221MELC15 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGJ series, offering 220 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a low‑profile φ35 × 15 mm can. It is designed for general‑purpose power electronics where high ripple handling and compact vertical stacking are required.

Key value comes from a combination of high ripple current capability (900 mA at 120 Hz, 1.35 A at 50 kHz), a wide operating range (–40 °C to +105 °C), and 2000 hours endurance at 105 °C—providing a balance of thermal robustness and long service life for industrial and general‑purpose applications.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance: 220 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 250 V rated voltage suitable for high‑voltage DC applications within the LGJ series.
• Ripple Current Handling: Rated ripple current of 900 mA at 120 Hz and 1.35 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and filtering under AC ripple conditions.
• Loss & Leakage: tan δ specified at 0.2 (max) at 20 °C and 120 Hz and leakage current listed as 700 µA, supporting predictable dissipation and low stand‑by loss.
• Thermal & Endurance: Operating temperature range of –40 °C to +105 °C with 2000 hours life at 105 °C, providing durability under elevated temperature stress.
• Mechanical & Mounting: Snap‑in radial can (φ35 × 15 mm) for secure chassis mounting and compact, low‑profile installations.
• Packaging & Availability: Tray packing and mass production status for consistent supply and ease of board‑level handling.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Supplies: Filtering and smoothing of DC rails where 250 V rating and high ripple current capacity help maintain stable output under load.
• Industrial Power Electronics: Bulk energy storage and decoupling in general industrial equipment that requires wide operating temperature capability and long endurance.
• Switching Converters and Inverters: Input/output ripple suppression and energy buffering at frequencies covered by the capacitor’s rated ripple current specifications.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: 900 mA (120 Hz) and 1.35 A (50 kHz) ratings enable reliable filtering across a broad frequency range, reducing voltage ripple under dynamic loads.
• Low‑profile packaging: φ35 × 15 mm snap‑in can minimizes vertical space while providing a robust mechanical mount for chassis assemblies.
• Wide temperature range with proven endurance: –40 °C to +105 °C operation and 2000 hours life at 105 °C deliver predictable performance in elevated thermal environments.
• Controlled loss and leakage: tan δ ≤ 0.2 at 20 °C/120 Hz and specified leakage current support stable dissipation and predictable aging behavior.
• Production ready: Tray packing and mass production status simplify procurement and assembly planning for volume production.
