Overview of LGU2P221MELZ – 220 µF, 220 V Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGU2P221MELZ is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 220 µF and 220 V, designed for general‑purpose power applications. It combines a compact radial can package (φ22 × 25L) with robust electrical performance for designs that require high ripple handling and long endurance.
Key value drivers include low dissipation factor (tanδ 0.15 at 20°C and 120 Hz), high allowable ripple current (1.0 A at 120 Hz, 1.5 A at 50 kHz), and a 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for production use.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a 220 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Snap‑In Radial Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in termination for secure board mounting in a compact φ22 × 25L footprint.
- Low Dissipation Factor — Specified tanδ of 0.15 (max) at 20°C, 120 Hz for reduced AC loss at rated voltage.
- High Ripple Current Capability — 1000 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1500 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support demanding AC ripple conditions.
- Leakage Current — Typical leakage current specified at 660 µA for predictable standby behavior.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C while subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current.
- Wide Operating Temperature — −40°C to 105°C operational range to accommodate varied ambient conditions.
- Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant and distributed in tray packing for mass production readiness.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose power modules — Use where a 220 µF, 220 V aluminum electrolytic with high ripple capability and long endurance is required.
- Power supply filtering — Suitable for designs needing stable capacitance and low loss at 120 Hz and higher frequencies.
- Industrial electronics — Applicable to general industrial circuits that demand operation from −40°C to 105°C and extended high‑temperature life.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 1.0 A (120 Hz) and 1.5 A (50 kHz) enable reliable operation under AC stress.
- Validated high‑temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C with rated ripple current ensures predictable long‑term behavior in hot environments.
- Low dissipation factor: tanδ 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz minimizes AC losses and helps control self‑heating at rated voltage.
- Compact, serviceable package: φ22 × 25L radial snap‑in can offers a small footprint with secure mounting for production assemblies.
- Production‑ready packaging: Tray packing supports efficient handling and automated assembly in mass production.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports deployment in regions with restricted substance requirements.
