LAK2G560MELZ25

The LAK2G560MELZ25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LAK series, rated 400 V with 56 µF capacitance. It is a radial, can‑style, polarized capacitor designed for general‑purpose electronic equipment, and specifically intended for use in environments with fluctuating supply voltages.

Key value comes from its high‑voltage capability, extended voltage range options across the LAK series, and endurance under elevated temperature and ripple‑current conditions, providing a reliable energy‑storage element where sustained performance and safety under stress are required.

Key Features

• Electrical — Rated Capacitance & Voltage: 56 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High‑temperature Endurance: Specified to withstand 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C; post‑test limits include capacitance within ±20% and leakage current at or below initial specified value.
• Ripple Current Performance: 380 mA at 120 Hz and 437 mA at 10 kHz, supporting continuous ripple handling per the part rating.
• Safety Features: Improved safety design for abnormally excessive voltage; pressure relief vent operation is specified to avoid dangerous conditions under abnormal test conditions.
• Operating Range: Operating temperature range from −25°C to +105°C, with shelf‑life and stability specifications defined in the series documentation.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, can‑style snap‑in terminal package (D: 22 mm × L: 25 mm) for secure through‑hole mounting and robust mechanical retention.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic equipment: Suitable where a polarized, high‑voltage electrolytic is required for energy storage and smoothing in assemblies designated as general purpose.
• Equipment exposed to fluctuating voltages: Designed and recommended for systems operating in environments with variable or unstable supply voltages thanks to improved safety features and extended voltage handling in the LAK series.
• High‑temperature installations: Use in modules where components must tolerate elevated ambient or operating temperatures up to 105°C while sustaining rated ripple current.

Unique Advantages

• Extended voltage capability: 400 V rating with the LAK series offering extended voltage options (200 V, 400 V, 420 V), allowing selection for higher DC bus applications.
• Validated endurance at high temperature: Endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current gives predictable aging behavior for thermal stress scenarios.
• Measured ripple‑current data: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz enable designers to size capacitors against measured system ripple profiles.
• Designed safety response: Pressure relief vent and defined limited DC current test conditions for abnormal voltages reduce risk of unsafe failures under stress.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: 22 mm diameter × 25 mm length radial can with snap‑in terminals provides a mechanically secure through‑hole mounting option for power assemblies.
• Regulatory cleanliness: RoHS compliance supports deployment in regions and products requiring restricted‑substance adherence.
