LGL2W221MELB25

The LGL2W221MELB25 is a Nichicon LGL series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 220 µF capacitance at a 450 V rating. It is a snap‑in terminal, large‑can design engineered for general‑purpose applications that require high voltage handling, elevated temperature endurance and compact radial can packaging.

This part delivers a combination of high DC voltage capability, rated performance to 105°C, and snap‑in mounting for secure PCB assembly, making it suitable where reliable bulk capacitance and long endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a 450 V rated voltage for high‑voltage application requirements.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated operating range −25°C to 105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions.
• Low‑loss Performance — tanδ (loss tangent) specified at 0.20 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) to characterize dielectric loss.
• Ripple Current Capability — 820 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.173 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) for handling AC ripple under bias.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 940 µA (measured after rated voltage application conditions).
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package with compact dimensions (φ30 × 25 mm) supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Production Status — Mass production availability.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic equipment — Intended for general‑purpose use where 220 µF at 450 V and 105°C endurance are required.
• High‑temperature assemblies — Suitable for designs that require sustained operation up to 105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance rating.
• Compact radial can installations — φ30 × 25 mm snap‑in can for assemblies that need a secure snap‑in mounting and compact footprint.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability — 450 V rating supports designs needing elevated DC voltage handling without overspecification.
• Controlled high‑temperature life — 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable long‑term performance under high thermal stress.
• Measured ripple handling — Specified ripple currents for both low (820 mA at 120 Hz) and high frequency (1.173 A at 50 kHz) conditions help designers assess ripple dissipation.
• Compact snap‑in form factor — φ30 × 25 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals offers a balance of capacitance and space efficiency for PCB assemblies.
• Leakage and loss characterization — Leakage current and tanδ specifications enable accurate power‑loss and bias planning in design validation.
• Production‑friendly packaging — Tray packing supports handling and placement workflows in volume assembly.
