LASW6680MELZ25

The LASW6680MELZ25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high‑voltage, general‑purpose applications. It pairs a compact can-style snap‑in package (φ22 × 25 mm) with 68 µF capacitance at a 420 V rating.

Engineered for environments with voltage fluctuation, this capacitor delivers elevated ripple handling, a 105°C endurance rating, and enhanced safety features—making it suitable for equipment that demands reliable high‑voltage smoothing in a smaller footprint.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF rated capacitance at 420 V for high‑voltage DC applications.
• Snap‑in Can Package — Radial, snap‑in terminal construction in a compact φ22 × 25 mm can for secure PCB mounting and space‑efficient designs.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance specification at 105°C under rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current 450 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 517.5 mA at 100 kHz, supported by frequency coefficients in the datasheet.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 500 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable loss behavior.
• Safety Features — Improved safety for abnormally excessive voltage and a pressure relief vent that operates without dangerous ignition or dispersion under test conditions.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive as stated in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power equipment — Used as a high‑voltage smoothing or energy‑storage element in systems categorized as general purpose.
• Voltage‑fluctuation environments — Suited to equipment operating in areas with fluctuating supply voltages where improved safety and endurance are required.
• Compact high‑voltage designs — The smaller case size enables integration where board space is limited but a 420 V capacitor is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Long‑term thermal reliability: 2000 hours rated endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable life performance in high‑temperature applications.
• High ripple capability in a small package: Delivers substantial ripple current (450 mA @120 Hz; 517.5 mA @100 kHz) while occupying a reduced can size (φ22 × 25 mm).
• Measurable electrical stability: Tightly defined tan δ (≤0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C) and specified leakage current (500 µA) simplify margin and thermal design calculations.
• Enhanced safety handling: Designed with improved safety for abnormal voltages and a pressure relief vent validated to operate without hazardous conditions during tests.
• Regulatory compatibility: RoHS compliance reduces material and end‑product regulatory management overhead.
• Smaller case with proven series pedigree: Part of the LAS series which emphasizes smaller case sizes and higher ripple current relative to prior LAQ designs, enabling denser power assemblies.
