LGU2A222MELB

The LGU2A222MELB from Nichicon is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor in the LGU series, offering 2200 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating. It is designed for general‑purpose use where robust bulk capacitance and high ripple handling are required.

Key attributes include a rated operating range of −40°C to +105°C, a 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, and tray packing for production workflows.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 2200 µF (2.2 mF) rated at 100 V with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package: Snap‑in terminal type in a radial, can‑snap‑in package for secure board mounting; physical size φ30 × 35 mm (L: 3.5 × D: 3 cm) and height seated max 1.378 inch.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Specified ripple current of 2.59 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.978 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support high‑stress power applications.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C with application of rated ripple current; post‑test limits include capacitance change within ±20% and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1400 µA (after rated voltage application at 20°C).
• Operating Temperature Range: −40°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of ambient conditions for general‑purpose equipment.
• Regulatory Compliance & Availability: RoHS‑compliant and listed as mass production product with tray packing for manufacturing efficiency.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering: Bulk energy storage and smoothing in power supplies and power modules where high capacitance and ripple endurance are required.
• Industrial equipment: Use in industrial control and power conversion systems that operate across a wide temperature range and demand sustained ripple performance.
• Commercial electronics: Bulk capacitance for commercial power electronics and electronic assemblies where long life at elevated temperature is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained high‑temperature operation: 3000 hours rated endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current, supporting long life in thermally demanding installations.
• Measured ripple performance: Explicit ripple current specifications at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz (2.59 A and 2.978 A respectively) allow engineers to size the capacitor based on actual frequency conditions.
• Compact, board‑friendly form factor: φ30 × 35 mm snap‑in can offers high capacitance in a compact radial package suited to production assembly and PCB mounting.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: Capacitance tolerance ±20% and specified leakage current provide clear, verifiable parameters for design verification and margining.
• RoHS compliance and production readiness: Environmentally compliant and available in tray packing with mass‑production status to support sourcing and volume assembly.
