LGY2A222MELB40

The LGY2A222MELB40 is a Nichicon LGY-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can designed for long life operation at elevated temperature. It provides 2200 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating with snap‑in mounting and tray packing for production assembly.

Targeted at power-electronics designs, this capacitor addresses high-voltage bulk storage, ripple filtering and high-reliability industrial applications where long endurance, high ripple capability and a compact φ30 × 40 mm package are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 2200 µF nominal capacitance at 100 V rated voltage, tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-temperature long life: Rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +105°C with endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Ripple current capability: 2200 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2530 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support power-supply smoothing and switching applications.
• Leakage and dissipation: Specified leakage current 1400 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.20 at 20°C and 120 Hz for the 80–100 V range.
• Mechanical and mounting: Snap‑in radial, can‑type package with dimensions φ30 × 40 mm (L: 4 × D: 3 cm) and tray packing for production handling.
• RoHS compliance and mass production: RoHS‑compliant construction and indicated as in mass production status.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk energy storage and smoothing where 100 V voltage rating and long 5000‑hour endurance at 105°C are required.
• Ballasts: Designed for ballast applications cited in the LGY series documentation, providing reliable ripple handling and temperature endurance.
• General‑purpose Power Electronics: High-voltage filtering and decoupling in equipment that benefits from snap‑in mounting and robust high-temperature life.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage, high-capacitance combination: 2200 µF at 100 V offers significant bulk storage in a compact φ30 × 40 mm can for high-voltage rails.
• Long life at elevated temperature: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C supports higher reliability and reduced maintenance in industrial installations.
• Designed for real-world ripple loads: Specified ripple currents of 2.2 A (120 Hz) and 2.53 A (50 kHz) enable use with both line-frequency and switching‑frequency power stages.
• Production-friendly packaging: Snap‑in radial termination and tray packing simplify assembly and handling for volume manufacturing.
• Measured loss and leakage specifications: tan δ = 0.20 (80–100 V range, 120 Hz) and leakage current 1400 µA provide predictable electrical behavior for design margining.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction supports environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial equipment.
