LAK2G560MELA20

The LAK2G560MELA20 from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 400 V with 56 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It is a radial, can-type, polarized capacitor designed for general-purpose use in equipment that experiences voltage fluctuation.

Designed for robust thermal and electrical performance, this capacitor withstands 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, offers an extended rated voltage family (200 V, 400 V and 420 V), and includes improved safety features for abnormally excessive voltage. It is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 56 µF rated capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Rated Voltage — 400 V rated voltage; part of an extended voltage range including 200 V and 420 V.
• Snap‑in Terminal Mounting — Radial, can-type snap-in package for secure mechanical mounting in power assemblies.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Endurance tested to 2000 hours at 105°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current applied.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 380 mA at 120 Hz and 437 mA at 10 kHz for smoothing and filtering in power applications.
• Safety Features — Improved safety for abnormally excessive voltage; pressure-relief vent design to avoid dangerous conditions during operation.
• Operating Range — Specified operating temperature range from −25°C to +105°C.
• Compact Size — 25 mm diameter × 20 mm length (φ25 × 20 mm) for space-conscious power designs.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies — Bulk smoothing and filtering where equipment is exposed to fluctuating line voltages and elevated ambient temperatures.
• Power conversion — DC link and smoothing applications in converters and inverters requiring a 400 V rating and stable ripple-handling capability.
• General-purpose electronic equipment — Reliable energy storage and decoupling in commercial and industrial assemblies that require a snap-in mounting style.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 400 V rating (with 200 V and 420 V family support) enables use in a range of mid- to high-voltage power designs.
• Validated high-temperature life: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current demonstrates longevity in hot operating environments.
• Reliable ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support effective smoothing across common power frequencies.
• Secure mechanical mounting: Snap-in can package provides robust retention for assemblies subject to vibration or mechanical stress.
• Safety-minded construction: Pressure-relief vent and improved safety provisions reduce risk under abnormal overvoltage conditions.
• RoHS compliance: Meets 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 requirements for restricted substances.
