LAQ2P561MELB35

The LAQ2P561MELB35 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LAQ series, specified at 560 µF with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 220 V. It is designed for general‑purpose applications that require bulk capacitance and reliable ripple handling in a compact radial, can‑snap‑in package.

This part provides defined performance across a wide operating range (−25°C to 105°C) with endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for continuous operation environments where stable capacitance, controlled leakage, and elevated temperature tolerance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance: 560 µF with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Rated Voltage: 220 V nominal voltage suitable for higher‑voltage general‑purpose circuitry.
• Ripple Current Handling (Low/High Frequency): 1.6 A (120 Hz) and 1.92 A (100 kHz) rated ripple currents to support AC superimposed on DC bias.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1.05 mA after standard application of rated voltage.
• High‑Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours life at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage.
• Operating Temperature Range: −25°C to 105°C for broad environmental tolerance.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, can — snap‑in mounting for secure mechanical retention and easy assembly; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Safety Feature: Pressure relief vent design specified to operate without hazardous outcomes under abnormal conditions.
• Electrical Loss: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.20 max at 120 Hz, 20°C for defined dissipation characteristics.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuits: Bulk capacitance and ripple suppression in general‑purpose equipment where a 220 V, 560 µF snap‑in capacitor is required.
• High‑temperature installations: Applications that demand a capacitor rated for continuous operation up to 105°C and specified 2000 h endurance.
• Panel and chassis assemblies: Snap‑in radial can package for secure mounting and straightforward assembly into power electronics racks or modules.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: Dual ripple ratings (1.6 A at 120 Hz and 1.92 A at 100 kHz) give designers quantified performance across frequency ranges.
• Long high‑temperature life: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provides a measurable lifecycle for sustained elevated‑temperature operation.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ30 × 35 mm size in a snap‑in can balances capacitance with board‑mount convenience and mechanical retention.
• Controlled electrical behavior: Defined tan δ (≤0.20) and specified leakage current (1.05 mA) allow predictable design margins for power and filtering functions.
• Production‑ready packaging: Tray packing and mass production status facilitate volume manufacturing and assembly processes.
• Built‑in safety consideration: Pressure relief vent operation specified to avoid dangerous failure modes under abnormal conditions.
