LGU1J222MELA

The LGU1J222MELA from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal, aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGU series, rated 63 V with 2.2 mF (2200 µF) capacitance. It is a polarized, radial can snap-in type designed for general-purpose electronics.

Engineered for sustained operation, this part offers a 3000-hour endurance at 105°C, high ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, low leakage, and RoHS compliance—attributes that support reliable power filtering and bulk energy storage in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF (2200 µF) rated at 63 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Snap-In Radial Can — Snap-in terminal mounting for secure through-hole installation; package case listed as radial, can - snap-in.
• High Endurance — Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current applied, per the LGU series specifications.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 1.75 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.013 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support AC stress across a range of operating frequencies.
• Controlled Dissipation & Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.25 (120 Hz, 20°C) and leakage current listed at 1110 µA for predictable loss and minimized standby drain.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation, matching the LGU series category temperature range.
• Compact Footprint — Physical size φ25 × 30L (approx. 3.0 × 2.5 cm), supplied in tray packing for production-level handling.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant as noted in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling where a polarized aluminum electrolytic with high ripple capacity is required.
• Power supply energy buffering — Provides energy storage and ripple handling in DC power circuits up to 63 V.
• Industrial and commercial electronics — Long endurance at elevated temperature (3000 h at 105°C) suits continuous-operation equipment and assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained thermal stress — 3000-hour endurance at 105°C ensures stable performance after prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures.
• Robust ripple handling across frequencies — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 50 kHz support both low- and high-frequency applications without compromising lifetime expectations.
• Predictable electrical behavior — Defined tan δ (0.25) and leakage current (1110 µA) values enable reliable loss and standby-current budgeting in designs.
• Serviceable through-hole form factor — Snap-in radial can simplifies assembly and replacement in board-level power modules.
• Production-ready packaging — Tray packing and mass production status streamline procurement and manufacturing integration.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for many end products.
