LAQ2D561MELA35

The LAQ2D561MELA35 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LAQ series featuring a snap-in radial can package and polarized construction. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 200 V rating with a compact smaller-sized footprint and is specified for general-purpose electronic applications.

Designed for elevated-temperature operation, this part supports continuous use from −25 °C to +105 °C and offers endurance data suitable for designs expecting sustained thermal stress and high-voltage operation.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF rated capacitance at 200 V, with a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can, snap-in terminal type for secure board mounting and mechanical stability.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating temperature −25 °C to +105 °C; endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 1.6 A at 120 Hz and 1.92 A at 10 kHz, suitable for circuits with moderate AC ripple demands.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specification per datasheet (I ≤ 3√C µA after 5 minutes at 20 °C) and tan δ limited to 0.20 max at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Safety Features — Pressure relief vent designed to operate under abnormal conditions to prevent dangerous outcomes.
• Compact Footprint — Smaller-sized cylindrical can with size dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm for space-constrained assemblies.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and rated voltage make the LAQ2D561MELA35 suitable where 560 µF at 200 V is required for smoothing and energy storage.
• High-temperature circuits — Use in designs that must operate continuously up to 105 °C, supported by a 2000-hour endurance rating at that temperature.
• Board-level snap-in assemblies — Snap-in radial can package provides robust mechanical retention for printed circuit board installations.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 200 V rating enables applications that require higher DC bus voltages without parallel components.
• Thermal endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 105 °C, delivering predictable performance after extended elevated-temperature exposure.
• Measurable ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to match the capacitor to expected AC conditions.
• Defined leakage behavior: Leakage current formula and tan δ limits give clear, testable criteria for system-level leakage and loss budgeting.
• Safety-minded design: Pressure relief vent operation reduces the risk of hazardous failure modes under abnormal voltage conditions.
• Space-efficient form factor: Smaller-sized dimensions (L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm) help optimize board area in compact power assemblies.
