LGY1H822MELB40

The LGY1H822MELB40 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal configuration from Nichicon’s LGY long-life assurance series. It provides 8200 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating with a compact φ30 × 40 mm can and is supplied in tray packing for volume production.

Designed for industrial applications that require dependable bulk capacitance and long-term thermal stability, this part targets industrial power supplies and ballast applications where sustained ripple handling and 105°C endurance are important.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 8.2 mF (8200 µF) rated at 50 V for high bulk energy storage in compact axial can dimensions.
• Snap-in Mounting: Radial, snap-in can package for secure board retention and straightforward insertion in high-volume assembly.
• High Temperature Long Life: Endurance rated 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, supporting designs that require prolonged high-temperature operation.
• Operating Temperature Range: Specified for –40°C to +105°C to cover a wide range of industrial thermal environments.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 2.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.22 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support power supply filtering and smoothing tasks.
• Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current meets I ≤ 3√(C·V) (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C, providing predictable leakage behavior for system power budgeting.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ): Maximum tan δ of 0.30 at the 50 V rating (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), enabling designers to account for dissipation characteristics.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements as stated in the product information.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk energy storage and smoothing in power converters and industrial supply rails where long-term high-temperature reliability is required.
• Ballast Applications: Designed and identified by the series as suited for ballast use, providing stable capacitance under continuous ripple stress.
• General Purpose Power Filtering: General-purpose filtering and decoupling in systems needing large capacitance and robust ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• Long-life high-temperature endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C assures predictable performance over extended thermal stress periods, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency.
• High bulk capacitance in a compact can: 8200 µF in a φ30 × 40 mm package delivers significant energy storage while conserving board footprint.
• Strong ripple handling: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies allow designers to size capacitors for real-world switching and line conditions.
• Clear electrical limits: Leakage current formula (I ≤ 3√CV) and tan δ specification provide measurable parameters for system-level thermal and loss assessments.
• Manufacturing-friendly packaging: Tray packing and snap-in terminals facilitate automated assembly and high-volume production workflows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status simplifies environmental compliance for end products.
