LGN2C222MELC35

The LGN2C222MELC35 is a Nichicon LGN-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in radial can package, designed for general-purpose applications. It is a polarized, smaller-sized snap-in capacitor rated at 160 V with 2.2 mF capacitance and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +105 °C.

Built to withstand extended ripple stress, this part endures 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C and is RoHS-compliant, offering a compact, high‑temperature solution for applications that require sustained ripple performance and compact packaging.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 2.2 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 160 V, specified with a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Engineered for operation up to 105 °C with verified endurance of 3000 hours under rated ripple current at 105 °C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current: 2.9 A at 120 Hz and 4.35 A at 100 kHz, enabling sustained AC stress handling within the rated conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package for robust board mounting and mechanical stability in panel or chassis installations.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polar capacitor construction for DC applications where polarized energy storage is required.
• Compact Size — One rank smaller case size than the LGU series; physical dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.378 inch.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose – Sustained ripple environments — Suited to general‑purpose circuits requiring a capacitor that withstands rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105 °C.
• General‑purpose – High‑temperature operation — For designs that need polarized capacitors rated for continuous operation up to 105 °C.
• General‑purpose – Compact board layouts — The smaller case size (one rank smaller than LGU) and snap‑in mounting help save board space while maintaining robust mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Sustained ripple endurance — Rated to tolerate 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C, delivering predictable long‑term performance under continuous ripple stress.
• Measured ripple performance — Provides specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies (2.9 A at 120 Hz, 4.35 A at 100 kHz) so designers can match the component to expected operating conditions.
• Smaller than comparable family members — One rank smaller case than the LGU series enables more compact assemblies without changing terminal style.
• Wide operating temperature range — −40 °C to +105 °C rating supports applications across broad thermal environments within the specified voltage class.
• Polarized, snap‑in mounting — Snap‑in radial can delivers secure mechanical retention and straightforward board attachment for bulk energy storage and smoothing roles.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS directive requirements for reduced hazardous substances.
