LLG2C222MELB40

The LLG2C222MELB40 is a 2.2 mF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLG snap‑in series. It delivers bulk capacitance in a compact radial can with snap‑in terminals, and is designed to support equipment downsizing by occupying one rank smaller case size than the LLS series.

Targeted for general‑purpose power electronics, this capacitor combines high capacitance and rated voltage with specified ripple current handling and an operating temperature range down to –40 °C, making it suitable for commercial and industrial equipment requiring robust bulk energy storage and smoothing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF rated capacitance at 160 V offering substantial bulk storage for high‑voltage power circuits.
• Tolerance & Polarization — ±20% capacitance tolerance with polarized construction for standard electrolytic circuit implementations.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting for secure PCB installation and simplified assembly in power modules.
• Compact Size — Smaller case sizing versus LLS series; package dimensions listed as L: 4 × D: 3 cm (30 × 40 mm) to support equipment downsizing.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range –40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple handling of 4.45 A at 120 Hz and 6.675 A at 100 kHz to support AC ripple and switching power applications.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting modern environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Bulk Storage — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in high‑voltage DC power supplies and converters where 160 V rated capacitance is required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Filtering and energy buffering in industrial controllers and power modules that benefit from high ripple capability and a compact footprint.
• Commercial Equipment Downsizing — Applications focused on reducing enclosure size where the LLG’s one‑rank smaller case enables more compact designs.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance at 160 V: 2.2 mF provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and transient support in higher‑voltage circuits.
• Compact, Snap‑in Mounting: Radial snap‑in terminals enable secure PCB attachment and streamlined assembly while saving board space compared with larger cases.
• Designed for Downsizing: One rank smaller case than LLS allows designers to reduce system volume without sacrificing capacitance.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz support both low‑frequency and high‑frequency ripple conditions in power systems.
• Endurance under Elevated Temperature: 2000‑hour endurance at 85 °C provides predictable life characteristics for long‑term installations.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 requirements for restricted substances.
