LAQ2G680MELZ25

The LAQ2G680MELZ25 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in radial can package designed for general-purpose electronic equipment. It provides 68 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating in a compact L × D footprint of 2.5 × 2.2 cm and is built for elevated-temperature operation up to 105°C.

Designed for secure snap-in mounting and extended high-temperature endurance, this part targets applications that require high-voltage DC smoothing, reliable ripple handling, and documented lifetime performance.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 68 µF rated capacitance with a 400 V DC rating and tolerance of ±20% (−20% to +20%), suitable for higher-voltage DC circuits within its specification.
• Thermal and Reliability — Operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105°C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Package and Mounting — Snap-in radial can package that provides robust mechanical retention for through-hole assemblies.
• Ripple and Leakage Characteristics — Ripple current ratings of 510 mA at 120 Hz and 586.5 mA at 100 kHz; leakage current defined per series spec (I ≤ 3√C µA after 5 minutes at 20°C).
• Safety and Stability — Series safety performance includes a pressure relief vent designed to operate safely under abnormal conditions; stability metrics such as tan δ ≤ 0.20 (120 Hz, 20°C) are documented in the LAQ series specifications.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power supplies — High 400 V rating and 68 µF capacitance make the part suitable for DC bus smoothing and energy storage in general-purpose high-voltage supplies.
• Industrial equipment — Elevated operating temperature rating and specified 2000-hour endurance at 105°C support use in industrial control and equipment that operates at higher ambient temperatures.
• Power conversion — Snap-in mounting and defined ripple current capabilities support compact assemblies in converters and similar power electronics where secure through-hole components are preferred.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 400 V rating enables use on higher-voltage DC rails without needing larger or external DC components.
• Documented high-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions gives designers a clear reliability baseline for elevated-temperature applications.
• Compact snap-in form factor: Small L × D (2.5 × 2.2 cm) radial can with snap-in terminals provides a space-efficient, mechanically robust solution for through-hole mounting.
• Quantified ripple performance: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz (510 mA) and 100 kHz (586.5 mA) helps accurately size the capacitor for expected AC stress.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Series leakage current formula and tan δ limit support predictable leakage and dissipation characteristics for design validation.
