LLG2C222MELC35

The LLG2C222MELC35 from Nichicon is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor in the LLG series. It provides 2200 µF of capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact snap‑in can (φ35 × 35 mm) targeted at general‑purpose equipment requiring high‑voltage bulk capacitance.

Designed for applications where space efficiency and ripple handling matter, the part delivers specified low‑frequency and high‑frequency ripple current capability, a 2000 h endurance at 85°C, and RoHS compliance for regulated manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Core Performance — 2200 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of -20% to +20% and a rated voltage of 160 V, suitable for bulk energy storage and decoupling in higher‑voltage systems.
• Ripple Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current of 4.78 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple capability of 7.17 A (100 kHz), specified to support both mains‑frequency and higher‑frequency ripple conditions.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), providing a verified dissipation characteristic for thermal and performance considerations.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours of endurance at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; leakage current specified at 1770 µA after initial application conditions.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ35 × 35 mm) for secure board mounting; tray packing and mass production status support volume assembly needs.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Polarized capacitor specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C and compliant with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuits — Bulk capacitance and ripple filtering for equipment classified as general purpose, leveraging the 160 V rating and 2200 µF capacitance.
• High‑voltage energy storage — Provides energy buffering and smoothing where higher DC voltage ratings and sustained ripple capability are required.
• Industrial and electronic systems — Suitable for general‑purpose electronic equipment that requires robust endurance (2000 h at 85°C) and reliable snap‑in mounting.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage bulk capacitance: 2200 µF at 160 V provides substantial stored energy for high‑voltage circuits without resorting to multiple smaller parts.
• Strong ripple current capability: Rated 4.78 A at 120 Hz and 7.17 A at 100 kHz, enabling handling of both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple loads within specified limits.
• Space‑efficient LLG series design: LLG series offers a smaller case size relative to its predecessor class, helping reduce board footprint while maintaining performance.
• Verified endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C under rated conditions provides a measurable reliability baseline for thermal and lifetime planning.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in can construction simplifies PCB retention and mechanical stability in assembled systems.
• RoHS compliant and production ready: Tray packing and mass production status support procurement and volume manufacturing requirements.
