LGY1J122MELZ25

The LGY1J122MELZ25 from Nichicon is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal (radial can) package, part of the LGY long‑life assurance series. It provides 1,200 µF of capacitance at a 63 V rating and is polarized for conventional power‑electronics use.

Designed for industrial power supplies and ballast applications, this capacitor emphasizes long‑term reliability with a specified endurance of 5,000 hours under rated ripple current at 105°C and RoHS compliance for regulated environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1,200 µF (1.2 mF) nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage; capacitance tolerance is −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High‑temperature long life: Endurance assurance of 5,000 hours when subjected to rated DC bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C; capacitance change after endurance remains within ±25% of the initial value per datasheet conditions.
• Ripple current capability: Rated ripple handling of 1.3 A at 120 Hz and 1.495 A at 50 kHz, supporting smoothing and filtering under dynamic load conditions.
• Wide operating range: Operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C for use across common industrial thermal environments.
• Package & mounting: Snap‑in radial can package for robust mechanical mounting and straightforward assembly into power modules and boards.
• Electrical characteristics: Polarized electrolytic construction with leakage current and loss (tan δ) defined by series specifications; designed to meet the series' stability and leakage requirements.
• Environmental compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), suitable for regulated assemblies.
• Compact footprint: Physical size L: 2.5 × D: 2.2 cm for space‑efficient integration in power assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies: Bulk energy storage and smoothing where long life and high‑temperature endurance are required for reliable power delivery.
• Ballast applications: Designed specifically to suit ballast circuits that require stable capacitance and robust ripple handling over extended operating periods.
• General purpose power filtering: Bulk filtering and decoupling in power electronics modules and assemblies that demand polarized, high‑capacitance components.

Unique Advantages

• Long life at elevated temperature: 5,000‑hour endurance tested at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, providing predictable aging behavior for maintenance planning.
• Proven ripple performance: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies (1.3 A at 120 Hz and 1.495 A at 50 kHz) enable reliable operation under varying switching conditions.
• Wide ambient tolerance: −40°C to +105°C operating range supports deployment across a broad set of industrial environments.
• Robust mechanical mounting: Snap‑in radial can package simplifies secure installation in high‑vibration or high‑current board layouts.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance helps streamline inclusion in products targeting markets with hazardous‑substance restrictions.
• Manufacturer support: Part of Nichicon’s LGY series, offering series‑level specifications for designers referencing long‑life assurance data.
