LGY2A182MELA45

The LGY2A182MELA45 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor from Nichicon's LGY series. It provides 1.8 mF capacitance at a 100 V rated voltage in a radial, snap‑in can designed for robust board mounting.

Designed for general-purpose and industrial power applications—including industrial power supplies and ballast circuits—this part delivers long-life performance with high ripple-current capability and operation from −40°C to 105°C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance: 1.8 mF (1800 µF) capacitance with a rated voltage of 100 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Ripple Current Handling: Rated ripple current of 2.0 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.3 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting high-current filtering and smoothing.
• Long-Life Endurance: Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias, enabling extended service in high-temperature applications.
• Temperature Range: Specified operating range from −40°C to 105°C for compatibility with a wide range of industrial environments.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, snap‑in can (φ25 × 45 mm) for secure mechanical retention and straightforward snap-in PCB assembly.
• Leakage and Polarization: Polarized device with a specified leakage current of 1270 µA.
• Compliance & Packaging: RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for production handling.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk filtering and smoothing where high ripple current capability and long life at 105°C are required.
• Ballast Circuits: Designed for use in ballast applications that demand durable, high-voltage polarized capacitors.
• General-Purpose Power Circuits: Energy storage and decoupling in power conversion and distribution systems needing a 100 V rated aluminum electrolytic.

Unique Advantages

• Long 105°C Endurance: 5000‑hour life rating at 105°C reduces replacement frequency in high-temperature installations.
• High Ripple Capability: 2.0 A (120 Hz) and 2.3 A (50 kHz) ripple ratings support demanding smoothing and filtering tasks under AC ripple loading.
• High Voltage Rating: 100 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power rails without series stacks.
• Secure Snap-In Mounting: Radial snap‑in can (φ25 × 45 mm) provides mechanical stability for high-current boards and simplifies assembly.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious product designs.
