LAKW6101MELB25

The LAKW6101MELB25 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-voltage, high-temperature applications. As a member of Nichicon's LAK series, this 100 µF, 420 V polarized radial can provides extended voltage capability and improved safety features for environments with voltage fluctuation.

Engineered for general-purpose power applications, the part delivers long endurance under rated ripple current at elevated temperature, making it suitable for equipment that requires reliable smoothing and energy storage at up to 420 V and up to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 420 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for power smoothing and energy storage near high-voltage rail levels.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from -25°C to +105°C with demonstrated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C when subjected to D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Permissible Abnormal Voltage & Safety — Snap-in design in the LAK series includes improved safety features for abnormally excessive voltage; pressure relief vent is provided to mitigate hazardous failure modes.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple performance of 690 mA at 120 Hz and 793.5 mA at 10 kHz for reliable operation under AC superposed on DC conditions.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current follows the series specification I ≤ 3√(C·V) (μA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C.
• Robust Snap-In Package — Radial can, snap-in terminal mounting for secure PCB installation in high-reliability assemblies; physical size L: 2.5 × D: 3 cm simplifies board layout considerations.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power supply filtering — Energy storage and smoothing for equipment operating at or near 420 V DC where high-capacitance filtering is required.
• Industrial equipment — Use in systems exposed to voltage fluctuations where the LAK series’ abnormal-voltage safety features provide added protection.
• High-temperature environments — Applications requiring continuous operation up to 105°C and validated endurance under rated ripple current.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 420 V rating enables use on higher-voltage rails without the need for multiple lower-voltage components.
• Long high-temperature life: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current supports long-term reliability in thermally demanding systems.
• Designed for abnormal-voltage events: Improved safety design and a pressure relief vent reduce the risk of dangerous failure modes during excessive voltage conditions.
• Compact snap-in packaging: Radial can with snap-in terminals offers a secure, space-conscious mounting option for power assemblies.
• Quantifiable leakage specification: Leakage current limit defined by I ≤ 3√(C·V) (μA) provides predictable standby loss characteristics for design margining.
• RoHS compliance: Meets 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 requirements for restricted substances.
