LGU2P122MELB

The LGU2P122MELB is a Nichicon LGU series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in, radial can package. It delivers 1200 µF nominal capacitance at 220 V with snap‑in terminals and a compact φ30 × 50 mm can for secure board mounting.

Designed for general‑purpose electronic power applications, this part provides high ripple‑current handling, long endurance at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance for environmentally regulated designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) nominal capacitance rated for 220 V.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation to 105 °C with an endurance specification of 3000 hours at 105 °C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance — Supports 2.6 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.9 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective smoothing under high ripple load conditions.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.15 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 220 V; leakage current specified at 1540 µA.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified operating range from −40 °C to 105 °C for the 16–250 V category (applies to this 220 V part).
• Robust Mounting & Packaging — Snap‑in radial can package (φ30 × 50 mm) for reliable chassis or PCB installation; supplied in tray packing for manufacturing handling.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power electronics — Use where a 220 V, 1200 µF snap‑in capacitor is needed for energy storage and filtering in standard power modules.
• Industrial power supplies — Suitable for designs that require sustained ripple handling and operation up to 105 °C.
• Chassis or PCB mounted power modules — Snap‑in radial can package offers secure mechanical retention for mid‑size power components.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature life: 3000 hours endurance at 105 °C under rated conditions supports durability in elevated‑temperature environments.
• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 2.6 A (120 Hz) and 3.9 A (50 kHz) help maintain stability under heavy AC ripple conditions.
• Compact radial can: φ30 × 50 mm snap‑in package balances capacitance and footprint for space‑conscious power designs.
• Measured electrical stability: Specified tan δ and controlled leakage current provide predictable performance for filtering and energy storage tasks.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance simplifies use in regulated supply chains.
