LAQ2G560MELZ25

The LAQ2G560MELZ25 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor in Nichicon's LAQ series, specified for general‑purpose electronic applications. It combines a 56 µF capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage, compact φ22 × 25 mm can size and snap‑in mounting for efficient board installation and mass production handling.

Designed for applications that require high working voltage, defined ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperature, this capacitor offers measurable performance characteristics for reliable circuit decoupling and energy storage in general‑purpose designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 56 µF rated capacitance at 400 V nominal; ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Snap‑in Terminal Package: Radial, can-type snap‑in mounting (φ22 × 25 mm) for secure, production‑friendly installation; tray packing supports mass production.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 450 mA at 120 Hz and 517.5 mA at 10 kHz, enabling defined AC ripple handling across low and high frequency ranges.
• Low Leakage & Loss: Specified leakage current of 440 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) ≤ 0.20 (120 Hz, 20 °C), supporting stable performance under bias.
• High Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours life at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; after recovery to 20 °C, capacitance remains within ±20% and leakage stays at or below initial specified values.
• Operating Temperature Range: −25 °C to +105 °C to cover elevated temperature operating environments defined for the LAQ series.
• Safety Design: Pressure relief vent designed to operate under abnormal conditions; per series test conditions for 400 V and C < 100 µF, limited DC current 2 A with test voltages of 500 VDC and 600 VDC.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuits: Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling where a 400 V, 56 µF snap‑in capacitor is required for general‑purpose electronic equipment.
• High‑temperature endurance assemblies: Suitable for designs that require continued operation at up to 105 °C with defined 2000‑hour endurance performance.
• Mass‑production builds: Tray packing and snap‑in mounting simplify assembly processes for volume manufacturing.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 400 V rating provides headroom for higher‑voltage general‑purpose circuits without changing topology.
• Measured ripple performance: Dual‑frequency ripple ratings (450 mA @ 120 Hz and 517.5 mA @ 10 kHz) let designers quantify AC stress handling across common operating frequencies.
• Defined long‑life specification: 2000 hours at 105 °C with explicit post‑test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage gives predictable end‑of‑life behavior for reliability planning.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ22 × 25 mm can with snap‑in terminals supports compact layouts while enabling robust board retention in production environments.
• Safety‑oriented construction: Pressure relief vent and series test conditions provide documented behavior under abnormal voltage/current test scenarios.
