LGN2C332MELC50

The LGN2C332MELC50 is a Nichicon LGN series snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor providing 3300 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. It is a polarized, large‑can snap‑in type designed for general‑purpose power applications requiring high capacitance and stable performance over extended operation.

This part delivers high ripple handling and long endurance — specified for 3000 hours at 105°C — in a compact φ35 × 50 mm can with tray packing for production assembly.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 3300 µF nominal capacitance (3.3 mF) suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• 160 V Rated Voltage: Rated voltage of 160 V for high‑voltage DC applications within the specified operating range.
• Snap‑In Mounting: Radial, can‑snap‑in package designed for secure snap‑in PCB mounting and efficient assembly.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Low‑frequency ripple current 3.3 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 4.95 A (100 kHz), enabling robust filtering under AC ripple stress.
• Extended Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Specified life of 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −40°C to +105°C operating range for demanding thermal environments.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics: tan δ (DF) max. 0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 2170 µA for this part number.
• Compact Large‑Can Footprint: Case size φ35 × 50 mm (L: 5 × D: 3.5 cm) offering one‑rank smaller case sizing within the LGN series.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for lead‑restriction compliance.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power systems: Bulk filtering and energy storage where 3300 µF at 160 V is required for DC link or smoothing functions.
• Industrial power electronics: Applications that need high ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Power supply modules: Use for input/output filtering and reservoir capacitance in high‑voltage power supplies.

Unique Advantages

• Long thermal endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias, supporting extended reliable operation in hot environments.
• High ripple capability: Combined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple ratings (3.3 A at 120 Hz and 4.95 A at 100 kHz) reduce the need for parallel components to handle AC stress.
• Space‑efficient large can: φ35 × 50 mm package delivers 3300 µF in a compact footprint with one‑rank smaller sizing within the LGN family for tighter layouts.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Snap‑in terminals simplify PCB retention and mechanical stability for higher‑power assemblies.
• Measured electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ and leakage current values support predictable performance for design validation and qualification.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental regulations for material restrictions.
