LGN2P122MELC35

The LGN2P122MELC35 is a snap-in, large-can aluminum electrolytic capacitor from the Nichicon LGN series, offering 1.2 mF capacitance at a 220 V rating. It is designed for general-purpose power-electronics applications that require a high-voltage, high-capacitance bulk capacitor in a radial, snap-in can package.

As a member of the LGN family, this part provides high-temperature endurance (designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C) and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for systems requiring extended thermal reliability and regulatory compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 1.2 mF capacitance rated at 220 V, sized for high-capacity bulk storage in power circuits.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours under rated ripple current at 105°C, supporting sustained operation in hot environments.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 2.5 A at 120 Hz and 3.75 A at 100 kHz, enabling handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple components.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can package simplifies PCB retention and assembly for power modules and high-current boards.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Operates from −40°C to +105°C, matching the LGN series specification for 160–250 V parts and supporting broad environmental ranges.
• Polarity & Tolerance — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% for reliable selection and sizing.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), suitable for markets requiring restricted-substance conformity.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power electronics — Bulk capacitance and energy storage where a 220 V, 1.2 mF snap-in capacitor is required for smoothing and ripple support in power circuits.
• Industrial power modules — Use in assemblies that demand extended high-temperature endurance up to 105°C under rated ripple current.
• High-voltage consumer and commercial equipment — Radial snap-in can package suitable for assemblies needing robust mounting and high-capacitance in a compact footprint.

Unique Advantages

• Proven thermal durability — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, reducing replacement frequency in high-heat installations.
• Dual-frequency ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz support performance across common power-conversion frequencies.
• Compact large-can form factor — LGN series offers one rank smaller case sizing than the LGU series, enabling denser board layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
• RoHS compliance — Meets 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 requirements for restricted substances, aiding regulatory acceptance.
• Snap-in mounting for secure PCB retention — Radial snap-in design simplifies mechanical retention in high-current and vibration-prone assemblies.

Why Choose LGN2P122MELC35?

The LGN2P122MELC35 delivers a combination of high capacitance (1.2 mF) and a 220 V rating in a snap-in aluminum can designed for sustained operation at elevated temperatures (−40°C to +105°C) and long-duration ripple exposure (3000 hours at 105°C). Its ripple current specifications at both low and high frequencies make it suitable for designs that must manage varied power-conversion ripple profiles.

This part is well suited to engineers and procurement teams designing general-purpose power electronics and industrial power modules who require reliable bulk energy storage, regulatory compliance (RoHS), and a robust snap-in mounting solution from a known capacitor series (LGN).
