LGY2A222MELA50

The LGY2A222MELA50 is a Nichicon LGY series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal can designed for long life, high‑reliability power applications. It delivers 2200 µF capacitance at 100 V with a ±20% tolerance and is intended for general‑purpose and industrial power circuitry where sustained ripple handling and elevated temperature endurance are required.

Key design attributes include snap‑in radial mounting, a 25 mm diameter × 50 mm length package, RoHS compliance, and mass production availability—making this part suitable for power supplies, ballast circuits, and other industrial power-conditioning roles.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 2.2 mF (2200 µF) rated at 100 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and DC bus smoothing.
• High Ripple Handling: Rated ripple current of 2.2 A at 120 Hz and 2.53 A at 50 kHz, supporting continuous AC ripple in power conversion and filtering applications.
• Long Life Assurance: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C; after the endurance test the capacitor meets capacitance, tan δ and leakage current criteria defined in the datasheet.
• Wide Temperature Range: Specified to operate from −40°C to +105°C, with documented impedance stability at low temperatures (Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) = 4 and Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) = 20 at 120 Hz for 16–100 V parts).
• Leakage Current: Typical leakage current specification provided as 1400 µA, measured under rated conditions.
• Package & Mounting: Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 50 mm) for secure PCB mounting in power assemblies; supplied in tray packing for production use.
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant per product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk filtering and DC bus smoothing where sustained ripple current and 105°C endurance are required.
• Ballast and Lighting Circuits: Designed for ballast applications calling for high reliability and long operational life under ripple stress.
• Power Conditioning & Filtering: Energy storage and decoupling in converters and inverters that need a robust snap‑in electrolytic solution.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Long‑Life Endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C qualification provides predictable aging characteristics for maintenance planning and reliability assessments.
• High Ripple Capacity Across Frequency: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies support diverse converter topologies and switching regimes.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −40°C to +105°C rating and documented low‑temperature impedance behavior enable use across harsh environments.
• Robust Snap‑In Mounting: Radial snap‑in can simplifies board retention for high‑vibration or high‑current power assemblies.
• Production‑Ready Supply: Tray packing and mass production status support volume assembly and procurement planning.
