Overview of LAK2G680MELZ25ZB – 400 V, 68 µF Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LAK2G680MELZ25ZB is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Nichicon. It provides 68 µF of capacitance at a 400 V rating in a compact 22 mm × 25 mm can‑type package designed for radial snap‑in mounting.
Engineered for applications exposed to fluctuating supply voltages, this part combines high voltage capability, 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple, and improved safety features to support reliable power filtering and energy‑storage functions in industrial and commercial equipment.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF capacitance rated for 400 V, with a tolerance of ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- High‑temperature Endurance — Withstands 2000 hours application of rated ripple current at 105°C; after testing the capacitance change remains within ±20% and leakage current stays within initial specified value.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current: 400 mA at 120 Hz and 460 mA at 10 kHz, supporting AC ripple handling in power supply and conditioning circuits.
- Safety Performance — Pressure relief vent designed to operate without flames or hazardous dispersion; for 400 V, capacitances under 100 µF carry a limited DC current test rating of 2 A under the specified test voltages per the datasheet.
- Leakage Current Specification — Initial leakage current defined as I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C, enabling predictable leakage behavior for design margins.
- Operating Range & Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic in a radial can (snap‑in) package; operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C and compact dimensions 22 mm (φ) × 25 mm (L).
- Regulatory — Compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple suppression for high‑voltage DC rails in industrial and commercial power supplies.
- Power conditioning & UPS — Energy buffering and transient handling in power conditioning modules and uninterruptible power supplies operating in environments with voltage fluctuations.
- Inverters and converters — DC link and decoupling use in inverter and converter stages where a compact high‑voltage capacitor is required.
- Industrial equipment — General‑purpose filtering and energy storage in machinery and equipment exposed to unstable or fluctuating mains voltages.
Unique Advantages
- High voltage in a compact shell: 400 V rating with a 22 mm × 25 mm snap‑in can provides a space‑efficient solution for high‑voltage DC circuits.
- Designed for sustained ripple stress: Rated ripple currents and a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C help ensure long‑term performance under continuous ripple loading.
- Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage current specified by I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA enables accurate leakage budgeting during design.
- Safety features for abnormal voltage: Pressure relief venting and limited DC current test ratings (2 A for C < 100 µF at 400 V test conditions) reduce risk under excessive voltage events.
- RoHS compliance: Conforms to applicable RoHS directives for environmental and regulatory compatibility.
- Snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in package simplifies PCB retention and mechanical stability in vertical can configurations.
