LAS2W680MELZ25

The LAS2W680MELZ25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 450 V with 68 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It is a 105°C, high‑voltage, snap‑in can designed for general‑purpose use and for equipment operating in areas with fluctuating voltage.

Built on Nichicon's LAS series platform, this smaller‑sized snap‑in capacitor combines elevated ripple endurance and enhanced safety features for abnormal voltage conditions, supporting demanding thermal and ripple environments typical of industrial and equipment applications.

Key Features

• Electrical rating — 68 µF nominal capacitance at 450 V DC with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• High‑temperature endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C with endurance verified by 2000 hours at 105°C while subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple current capability — Specified ripple current of 600 mA at 120 Hz and 690 mA at 10 kHz; frequency coefficient behavior is provided in the LAS series documentation.
• Leakage and dissipation — Leakage current defined by the datasheet formula (1 ≤ 3√CV µA after 5 minutes at 20°C) and tan δ of 0.20 max at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Safety under abnormal voltage — Designed with a pressure relief vent and abnormal‑voltage test ratings; for the 450 V family with C < 100 µF the limited DC current is 2 A and test voltages include 550 VDC and 675 VDC as defined in the series specifications.
• Package and mounting — Radial, snap‑in can style for secure mounting in assemblies where a snap‑in termination is required.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant per the LAS series documentation.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose equipment — Suitable where a high‑voltage, high‑temperature aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for general application use.
• Voltage‑fluctuating environments — Intended for equipment used in areas with fluctuating voltage thanks to improved safety measures for abnormal voltages.
• High‑ripple circuits — Appropriate for assemblies that must withstand rated ripple currents at elevated temperature as specified by the LAS series endurance data.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability: 450 V rating allows use in higher‑voltage circuits without resorting to series component stacking.
• High‑temperature reliability: 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C with rated ripple current supports sustained operation in hot environments.
• Defined ripple performance: Published ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz and frequency coefficients enable predictable thermal and ripple design margins.
• Safety‑focused design: Pressure relief vent and abnormal‑voltage test conditions (including specified test voltages and limited DC current for the 450 V family) reduce risk under overvoltage events.
• Space‑efficient series design: LAS series emphasizes smaller case sizes and higher ripple current compared to the referenced LAQ series, supporting compact assemblies.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory considerations.
