LAKW6101MELA30ZB

The LAKW6101MELA30ZB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal radial can package, specified at 100 µF and 420 V. It is designed for general‑purpose use where robust high‑voltage filtering and bulk energy storage are required, and where equipment is exposed to voltage fluctuations.

Built for elevated operating conditions, this part withstands rated ripple current for 2000 hours at 105 °C and incorporates improved safety features for abnormally excessive voltage. It is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — Rated capacitance 100 µF at ±20% tolerance and rated voltage 420 V; polarized construction for DC filtering and bulk smoothing.
• Mounting & package — Snap‑in terminal radial can for secure board mounting; size L: 3 × D: 2.5 cm with maximum seated height 1.181 inch.
• High‑temperature endurance — Specified operating temperature range −25 °C to 105 °C with endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current.
• Ripple handling — Rated ripple current: 690 mA at 120 Hz and 793.5 mA at 100 kHz, enabling reliable ripple dissipation in high‑stress circuits.
• Leakage and loss characteristics — Leakage current limit follows I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Safety features — Designed with improved safety for abnormally excessive voltage; pressure relief venting operates without creating hazardous conditions under the test criteria defined in the series specification.
• Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supplies and AC/DC converters — Bulk filtering and energy storage in supplies exposed to line and load transients, benefiting from the 420 V rating and ripple endurance.
• Industrial equipment — Suitable for control systems and power electronics operating in environments with voltage fluctuations thanks to enhanced safety features and high‑temperature endurance.
• Energy conversion circuits — Provides smoothing and buffering in high‑voltage converter stages where sustained ripple performance at elevated temperature is required.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 420 V rating supports higher DC bus and filter voltages without series stacking.
• Proven high‑temperature endurance: Rated to withstand 2000 hours at 105 °C with rated ripple current, helping to maintain capacitance and leakage characteristics over time.
• Robust ripple performance: Measured ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide predictable thermal and electrical behavior across frequencies.
• Snap‑in package for reliable installation: Radial snap‑in can simplifies assembly and provides mechanical stability on the PCB.
• Enhanced safety design: Pressure relief venting and series safety criteria reduce the risk of hazardous failure modes under abnormal voltage stress.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental and procurement requirements.
