LLG2Z222MELC35

The LLG2Z222MELC35 is a Nichicon LLG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package. It delivers 2.2 mF capacitance at a 180 V rating and is designed for general‑purpose applications where compact, chassis‑mountable bulk capacitance is required.

Engineered as a one‑rank smaller case size than the LLS series, this part is suited for equipment down‑sizing while maintaining performance characteristics including RoHS compliance and rated operation across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Type — Aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLG snap‑in terminal design for secure chassis mounting.
• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated capacitance 2.2 mF with a rated voltage of 180 V; capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Package & Size — Radial, can snap‑in package; size dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm for compact installation in space‑constrained systems.
• Operating Temperature — Specified operating range −40°C to +85°C (applicable to the 160–250 V range per series specification).
• Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current with post-test limits: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial, and leakage current ≤ initial specified value.
• Ripple Current Capability — 4.3 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 6.45 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support smoothing and energy buffering under AC/noise loading.
• Leakage Current — Series specification: I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C, providing predictable leakage behavior for design calculations.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power modules — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling in general power electronic assemblies and DC link sections.
• Size‑constrained equipment — One rank smaller case size than LLS makes it suitable for product designs targeting reduced footprint and overall equipment downsizing.
• Chassis or panel mounted systems — Snap‑in terminal and radial can package enable secure mounting for cabinet‑level or enclosure installations.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, snap‑in form factor — Smaller case size and snap‑in mounting simplify integration where board space is limited and chassis mounting is preferred.
• High ripple handling across frequencies — Distinct ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz support designs exposed to a range of ripple and switching noise conditions.
• Predictable electrical behavior — Capacitance tolerance, leakage current formula and tan δ limits are specified for reliable design margins and calculation.
• Endurance for sustained operation — 2000 hours at 85°C endurance specification provides defined life expectations under rated stress conditions.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports usage in markets requiring restricted‑substance conformance.
