Overview of LAKW6221MELB40ZB – 220 µF, 420 V Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LAKW6221MELB40ZB is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial, snap‑in can package designed for general‑purpose high‑voltage applications. It delivers 220 µF at 420 V with a temperature rating up to 105 °C and safety provisions for abnormally excessive voltage.
This part is intended for equipment exposed to voltage fluctuation and demanding thermal environments, offering extended ripple endurance and series options across 200 V, 400 V and 420 V ratings.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance at a 420 V rated voltage suitable for high‑voltage smoothing and energy storage roles.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified to withstand 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C, supporting reliable operation in elevated‑temperature systems.
- Snap‑In Mounting — Radial, can‑type snap‑in terminals for mechanical stability and straightforward insertion into power assemblies.
- Improved Safety Design — Pressure relief vent and enhanced safeguards for abnormally excessive voltage to reduce risk of dangerous failure modes.
- Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current: 1 A at 120 Hz and 1.15 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple handling across common power frequencies.
- Wide Operating Range — Operating temperature range from −25 °C to +105 °C with capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
- Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current conforms to I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tan δ ≤ 0.20 (120 Hz, 20 °C), supporting predictable electrical behavior.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- High‑Voltage Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage where a 420 V rating and robust ripple endurance are required.
- Industrial Equipment — General‑purpose use in machinery and systems operating in environments with voltage fluctuation and elevated temperatures.
- Power Conversion & Filtering — DC link, filtering and decoupling roles in converters that demand high voltage capability and reliable long‑term endurance.
Unique Advantages
