LGY1K222MELA35

The LGY1K222MELA35 is an aluminum electrolytic, large-can snap-in capacitor from Nichicon’s LGY series. It delivers 2.2 mF capacitance at an 80 V rating in a radial, snap-in can package designed for robust board-mounted power applications.

Engineered for long-life operation, this polarized capacitor supports continuous operation up to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 5000 hours at that temperature, making it suitable for industrial power supplies, ballast circuits and other general-purpose power-filtering uses where dependable ripple handling and high-temperature endurance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 2.2 mF capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for stable energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 2 A at 120 Hz and 2.3 A at 50 kHz, with published frequency coefficients for adjusting ripple ratings across common operating frequencies.
• High Temperature Endurance — Specified operating range of –40°C to +105°C and a long-life rating of 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions.
• Mounting & Package — Radial, large-can snap-in terminal design for secure PCB retention and ease of assembly in power supply layouts.
• Reliability Characteristics — Endurance criteria per datasheet: capacitance shift within ±25% and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value after endurance testing; shelf-life recovery specifications provided.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant as indicated for the LGY series.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and output filtering in supplies where high ripple currents and elevated ambient temperatures are encountered.
• Ballast Circuits — Energy buffering and smoothing in lighting ballast designs as noted for the LGY series suitability.
• General Purpose Power Filtering — Decoupling and smoothing for converters, inverters, and power-distribution rails in commercial and industrial equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Long-Life Rating: 5000 hours at 105°C provides designers deterministic lifetime expectations for high-temperature applications.
• High Voltage Capacity: 80 V rating supports higher-voltage DC link and intermediate bus applications without series stacking.
• Robust Ripple Capability: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies allow accurate thermal and lifetime budgeting in power designs.
• Snap-In Package for Secure Mounting: Radial snap-in terminals enable firm mechanical retention on PC boards commonly used in power assemblies.
• Wide Operating Temperature: –40°C to +105°C range enables use across a broad set of environmental conditions encountered in industrial equipment.
