LAQ2P561MELA45ZB

The LAQ2P561MELA45ZB from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LAQ series, rated 560 µF at 220 V. It is designed as a general‑purpose, radial can snap‑in component for applications that require robust capacitance, elevated temperature endurance and reliable ripple handling.

Key value comes from its 220 V rating, substantial ripple current capability (1.6 A at 120 Hz and 1.92 A at 10 kHz), 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C, and compact φ25 × 45 mm package suitable for tray packing and mass production environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 560 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Voltage Rating — 220 V rated operating voltage for higher‑voltage power circuits.
• Ripple Current Handling — 1.6 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.92 A at 10 kHz (high frequency) for effective smoothing under AC ripple.
• Leakage Current — Low leakage specified at 1.05 mA after rated voltage application.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — 2000 hours rated life at 105°C with specified recovery characteristics after test conditions.
• Operating Temperature Range — −25°C to +105°C suitable for a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Mounting & Package — Radial, snap‑in can package (φ25 × 45 mm) for secure chassis or PCB mounting in tray packing for production scale.
• Safety Feature — Pressure relief vent design specified to operate without dangerous conditions under abnormal voltage events.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple smoothing in circuits requiring a 220 V rated electrolytic capacitor with high ripple capability.
• Industrial and commercial equipment — Suitable for general-purpose designs that must tolerate −25°C to +105°C and require 2000 hours endurance at elevated temperature.
• Chassis or module mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ25 × 45 mm) provides a secure mechanical mount for mass-produced power modules and assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 220 V rating supports higher‑voltage DC systems without additional series components.
• Dual‑band ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz enable design confidence across low and high ripple frequency environments.
• Proven high‑temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C offers long‑term stability for thermally demanding applications.
• Robust safety handling: Pressure relief venting is specified to avoid hazardous outcomes under abnormal voltage conditions.
• Production‑friendly packaging: Tray packing and snap‑in radial can format simplify handling and assembly for volume manufacturing.
