LGY1V223MELC50

The LGY1V223MELC50 is a Nichicon LGY series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor providing 22 mF capacitance at a 35 V rating. It is a polarized, radial can (snap‑in) package designed for high‑reliability power applications.

Engineered for long life at elevated temperature, this part withstands 5000 hours of DC bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C. It is suited for industrial power supplies and ballast applications where dependable performance and RoHS compliance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating — 22 mF capacitance at 35 V with ±20% tolerance (specified at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Long‑Life Endurance — Rated endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance and leakage meet the endurance criteria defined in the series datasheet.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current: 3.9 A at 120 Hz and 4.485 A at 50 kHz, supporting demanding power filtering and bulk energy applications.
• Temperature Range & Stability — Operating range −40°C to 105°C; series low‑temperature impedance characteristics specify Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 4 and Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 20 for the rated voltage range.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction for secure PCB mounting and mechanical stability in power assemblies. Physical size: L: 5 × D: 3.5 cm.
• Compliance — RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in industrial supplies where long life at elevated temperature and high ripple handling are important.
• Ballast Applications — Designed and specified for ballast use, delivering reliable performance under continuous operating stress.
• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — Suitable for general purpose power circuits that require a polarized, high‑capacitance snap‑in solution with proven endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Proven High‑Temperature Endurance: 5000‑hour rating at 105°C under DC bias and ripple current provides documented life expectancy for hot environments.
• Robust Ripple Handling: High rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (3.9 A at 120 Hz; 4.485 A at 50 kHz) supports demanding filtering and decoupling tasks.
• Wide Operating Range: −40°C to 105°C operating window with specified low‑temperature impedance behavior helps maintain performance across temperature extremes.
• Snap‑in Radial Can: Durable snap‑in terminal and radial can package simplify board mounting and mechanical retention in power assemblies.
• RoHS‑Compliant Manufacturing: Meets current RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious designs.
