LAR2E561MELA35

The LAR2E561MELA35 from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LAR series, rated 250 V with 560 µF capacitance and a φ25 × 35 mm can size. It is designed as a general-purpose, high-voltage electrolytic solution where robust ripple endurance and elevated operating temperature capability are required.

Key attributes include snap-in mounting for secure chassis or PCB retention, endurance under rated ripple current at 105°C for extended life, and RoHS compliance for regulatory compatibility.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Snap-in Terminal Package — Radial, can-type snap-in terminal mounting for sturdy mechanical attachment in assemblies.
• High Temperature Endurance — Specified to withstand 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, meeting the LAR series endurance criteria.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current performance includes 1.5 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.25 A at 50 kHz (high frequency).
• Safety under Overvoltage — Designed to reduce incidence of shorting when subjected to overvoltage conditions (rated voltage × 1.5); series data indicate a significant passing rate under limited-current overvoltage test conditions.
• Temperature Range — Operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C for the 250 V class.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max 0.15 for 200–400 V at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint — Physical dimension: approximately 3.5 cm length × 2.5 cm diameter (φ25 × 35 mm can size), suitable for space-conscious assemblies.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose equipment — Suited for general-purpose applications that require a 250 V, 560 µF snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor with robust ripple endurance at elevated temperature.
• High-temperature environments — Intended for use where operation up to 105°C and sustained ripple current capability (2000 h at 105°C) are necessary.
• Chassis or PCB snap-in assemblies — Designed for systems that use snap-in radial can capacitors for secure mounting and reliable electrical connection.

Unique Advantages

• Extended ripple endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable aging behavior in elevated-temperature service.
• Overvoltage safety design: Series-level testing shows reduced incidence of short under limited-current overvoltage conditions (rated × 1.5), improving safety margins.
• Frequency-capable ripple performance: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz supports a range of AC and switching-frequency applications.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +105°C operation for the 250 V class accommodates demanding thermal environments.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance simplifies use in regulated product lines.
• Robust mechanical mounting: Snap-in radial can package provides secure, serviceable installation in assemblies.
