Overview of LASW6101MELA25 – Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 420 V / 100 µF
The LASW6101MELA25 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 100 µF and 420 V, designed for demanding power-electronics environments. It delivers a compact, high-voltage energy-storage solution with enhanced ripple-current capability and safety features for equipment exposed to fluctuating voltages.
Key value includes 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, smaller case sizes with higher ripple capacity compared to the LAQ series, and RoHS compliance for environmental compatibility.
Key Features
- Package & Termination — Snap-in terminal, radial can package in a compact φ25×25L footprint for robust board-mount power applications.
- High Voltage / Capacitance — Rated 420 V with 100 µF capacitance suitable for high-voltage bulk energy storage and filtering.
- High-Temperature Endurance — Specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance change remains within ±20% after endurance test.
- Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current 690 mA at 120 Hz and 793.5 mA at 10 kHz; frequency coefficients provided for scaling ripple performance across frequencies.
- Safety Features — Designed with a pressure-relief vent that operates under abnormal voltage conditions to prevent dangerous outcomes such as flames or dispersion of case parts.
- Operating Range & Reliability — Operating temperature −25°C to +105°C, with leakage current and dissipation factor defined and controlled per datasheet limits.
- Environmental Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage in high-voltage, board-mounted power converters where voltage can fluctuate.
- Power Conversion Equipment — DC-link and filtering applications in converters and inverters requiring high-voltage capacitance and robust ripple handling.
- Voltage-fluctuation-prone Systems — Systems and equipment operating in environments with unstable input voltages that benefit from improved safety and endurance.
Unique Advantages
- Compact high-voltage solution: 100 µF at 420 V in a φ25×25L snap-in can reduces board area compared to larger housings while providing high-voltage energy storage.
- Proven high-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, delivering predictable performance for thermal-stressed designs.
- Enhanced ripple capability: Higher ripple current capability than the LAQ series and explicit ripple-current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz to support switching and mains-derived applications.
- Built-in safety venting: Pressure-relief vent designed to operate under abnormal voltage conditions to mitigate risk in fault scenarios.
- Frequency-aware specification: Frequency coefficients are provided to scale ripple-current capability across 50 Hz to ≥10 kHz operating frequencies.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in environmentally regulated assemblies.
