LGU2C122MELA

The LGU2C122MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 160 V with 1200 µF nominal capacitance and ±20% tolerance. Designed for general‑purpose power applications, it delivers high ripple handling and long endurance in a compact φ25 × 45 mm can.

Key value comes from its 105°C rated operation and 3000‑hour endurance, combined with specified low‑frequency and high‑frequency ripple current capability, making it suitable for designs that demand reliable bulk capacitance and thermal durability.

Key Features

• High Capacitance and Voltage: 1200 µF at 160 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in power circuits.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package: Snap‑in terminal type in a φ25 × 45 mm can enables secure mechanical mounting and easy installation in through‑hole boards.
• 105°C Endurance: Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with a specified endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Performance: 2490 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3735 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) for applications with significant AC ripple stress.
• Controlled Loss and Leakage: tan δ of 0.15 (max) at 20°C, 120 Hz and a measured leakage current of 1310 µA, providing predictable electrical behavior.
• RoHS Compliant & Mass Production Ready: RoHS status compliant and supplied in tray packing for production assembly.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power supplies: Bulk capacitance and ripple filtering where 160 V rating and high ripple current capability are required.
• Industrial power electronics: Designs that benefit from 105°C endurance and long life (3000 h) under rated ripple conditions.
• Energy storage and smoothing: Applications needing compact, high‑capacitance snap‑in cans for board‑level energy buffering.

Unique Advantages

• Durable high‑temperature operation: 3000 hours endurance at 105°C supports long mean time between maintenance in thermally demanding environments.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple currents (2490 mA @120 Hz; 3735 mA @50 kHz) reduce heating and extend service life under AC stress.
• Predictable dielectric behavior: Low tan δ (0.15 at 120 Hz, 20°C) and specified leakage current enable reliable performance characterization in system design.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ25 × 45 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies board mounting while providing high capacitance density.
• Production‑friendly packaging: Tray packing and mass production availability support efficient procurement and assembly workflows.
