LGY1H222MELZ25

The LGY1H222MELZ25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGY series. It is a polarized, radial can style capacitor specified at 2.2 mF (2200 µF) and 50 V, designed for general‑purpose and industrial power applications.

Key value propositions include long life at elevated temperature, strong ripple current capability across low and high frequencies, and compact packaging (φ22 × 25 mm). The part is RoHS compliant and offered in tray packing for mass production use.

Key Features

• Snap‑in terminal package — Radial, can style with snap‑in mounting for secure board retention and straightforward assembly.
• Nominal capacitance and voltage — 2200 µF at 50 V nominal with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Long life at elevated temperature — Endurance rated for 5000 hours at 105°C with applied rated ripple, supporting sustained operation in hot environments.
• High ripple current capability — 1400 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1610 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency), suitable for demanding power supply ripple handling.
• Low loss (tan δ) — Tangent of loss angle of 0.3 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz (for 50 V rating), helping control dissipation under AC conditions.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 990 µA (after standard stabilization), ensuring predictable standby behavior in circuits.
• Wide operating temperature range — –40°C to 105°C operational range to cover standard industrial thermal environments.
• Compact footprint — Dimensions φ22 × 25 mm provide a small form factor for high‑density power assemblies.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).
• Mass production ready — Supplied in tray packing and listed as mass production status for volume manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies — Bulk filtering and ripple suppression where long life at 105°C and high ripple handling are required.
• Ballast circuits — Specified as suited for ballast applications where robust endurance and thermal stability matter.
• General‑purpose electronic equipment — Energy storage and smoothing in assemblies requiring polarized electrolytic capacitors with compact packaging.

Unique Advantages

• Long‑term thermal endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable lifetime performance in hot operating conditions.
• Dual‑range ripple handling: Rated ripple current specified at both 120 Hz (1.4 A) and 50 kHz (1.61 A) supports a wide range of power‑conversion and filtering frequencies.
• Measured dissipation characteristics: tan δ of 0.3 at 20°C/120 Hz for the 50 V rating gives designers a clear metric for loss and heating calculations.
• Compact, production‑friendly form factor: φ22 × 25 mm snap‑in can in tray packing for efficient PCB layout and assembly in volume builds.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Specified leakage current of 990 µA allows accurate standby and bias current budgeting.
