LGY2A222MELC30

The LGY2A222MELC30 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal can designed for long life operation. It delivers 2.2 mF (2200 µF) at a 100 V rating in a φ35 × 30 mm package intended for robust power-electronic applications.

Engineered for industrial power circuits and ballast use, this part combines high capacitance, elevated voltage capability and a 105°C, 5000‑hour endurance rating to support reliable ripple filtering and bulk energy buffering in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF (2200 µF) rated at 100 V for high-voltage DC bus and bulk energy applications.
• High‑temperature, Long Life — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with long life assurance of 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Snap‑in Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in mounting simplifies secure PCB installation for power assemblies.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified rated ripple currents of 2.2 A at 120 Hz and 2.53 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficients in the datasheet (120 Hz = 1.00, 50 kHz or more = 1.15) provide guidance for frequency‑dependent ripple handling.
• Electrical Quality Metrics — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C); leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ max 0.20 for 80–100 V parts as specified in the series datasheet.
• Compact, Specified Dimensions — Typical body dimensions φ35 × 30 mm (L: 3 × D: 3.5 cm) for dense power assemblies where high capacitance per volume is required.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive as noted in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing on high-voltage DC rails where long life at elevated temperature is required.
• Lighting Ballasts — Designed suitability for ballast applications where reliable high-voltage capacitance and endurance are important.
• General Purpose Power Circuits — Use as a general-purpose reservoir and ripple suppression capacitor in power-electronic equipment operating up to 100 V.

Unique Advantages

• Long‑life endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and D.C. bias offers predictable performance for extended maintenance intervals.
• High voltage and high capacitance: 100 V rating combined with 2200 µF reduces the number of components required for high‑voltage bulk storage.
• Snap‑in mounting for secure assembly: Snap‑in terminals provide reliable mechanical retention for high-vibration or heavy-current assemblies.
• Frequency-aware ripple specification: Published ripple current values and frequency coefficients enable accurate thermal and ripple budgeting across a range of operating frequencies.
• Measured electrical limits: Clear specifications for leakage current (I ≤ 3√CV) and tan δ give predictable electrical behavior for design verification.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmentally constrained designs.
