LAQ2P561MELA45

The LAQ2P561MELA45 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LAQ series featuring a snap‑in terminal design. It provides 560 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating in a compact φ25 × 45 mm radial can intended for mass production and tray packing.

Engineered for general‑purpose electronic circuits, this part combines a high working voltage and large capacitance with a 105°C temperature rating and defined endurance characteristics, delivering stable performance for assemblies that require reliable DC filtering and energy storage at elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF rated capacitance at 220 V with ±20% tolerance.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating range −25°C to +105°C; endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple: 1.6 A at 120 Hz and 1.92 A at 10 kHz for handling AC ripple in power circuits.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ25 × 45 mm) designed for PCB assembly and tray packing for mass production.
• Leakage Current Specified — Leakage current after 5 minutes at 20°C follows I ≤ 3√C μA (C in µF), providing a measurable acceptance criterion for leakage behavior.
• Dissipation Factor (tan δ) — tan δ maximum 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C, enabling predictable loss characteristics.
• Safety Vent — Pressure relief vent designed to operate under abnormal conditions without dangerous outcomes such as ignition or dispersion of case fragments.
• Marking — Printed with white lettering on a black sleeve for clear identification.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits — For circuits requiring 560 µF at 220 V where a high-capacitance, high‑voltage electrolytic is needed.
• PCB assemblies and high-volume production — Snap‑in terminals and tray packing support efficient assembly and handling in mass-production workflows.
• High-temperature environments — Rated for operation up to 105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance rating at that temperature for applications exposed to elevated thermal stress.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage and capacitance in a compact form: 220 V and 560 µF in a φ25 × 45 mm can saves board space while meeting higher energy storage requirements.
• Designed for elevated-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides a defined reliability baseline for thermal applications.
• Defined ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size bulk capacitance for filtering and decoupling with quantifiable performance.
• Production-friendly mounting: Snap‑in terminals and tray packing support streamlined placement and assembly for high-volume manufacturing.
• Measurable electrical limits: Clear leakage-current formula and tan δ limits enable predictable acceptance testing and quality control.
• Safety-focused design: Pressure relief venting reduces risk under abnormal voltage stress conditions.
