Overview of LASW6680MELZ25ZB – Snap‑in 420 V Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 68 µF, 105°C
The LASW6680MELZ25ZB is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated for 420 V and 68 µF capacitance. Designed for general‑purpose power applications, it combines a compact radial can package (φ22 × 25 mm) with high ripple capability and 105°C endurance for reliable performance in demanding power circuits.
This part delivers engineered stability for systems requiring high DC voltage handling, elevated operating temperature, and sustained ripple current, while providing built‑in safety features and RoHS compliance.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance 68 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, and a rated voltage of 420 V for high‑voltage DC applications.
- Ripple and Leakage Rated ripple current of 450 mA at 120 Hz and 517.5 mA at 10 kHz; specified leakage current of 500 µA.
- Thermal and Reliability Operates from −25°C to +105°C and specified for 2000 hours life at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
- Package & Mounting Radial snap‑in can in a compact φ22 × 25 mm form factor, supplied in tray packing for mass production assembly.
- Safety & Compliance Designed with a pressure relief vent for safer operation under abnormal voltage conditions; RoHS compliant.
- Frequency Performance Frequency coefficient supports increased allowable ripple at higher frequencies (e.g., coefficient 1.15 at 10 kHz or more versus 120 Hz baseline).
Typical Applications
- Industrial power supplies — Bulk smoothing and filtering in high‑voltage supply rails, leveraging 420 V rating and 68 µF capacitance for stable DC output.
- Inverters and motor drives — DC link and ripple handling in medium‑power inverter systems where sustained ripple current and 105°C endurance are required.
- UPS and energy storage systems — Energy buffering and decoupling in high‑voltage backup power systems benefiting from the part’s high voltage rating and long life at elevated temperature.
- Power conversion and industrial electronics — General‑purpose smoothing and decoupling in converters and control electronics that need compact, high‑voltage capacitors.
Unique Advantages
- High DC voltage capability: 420 V rating enables use directly on high‑voltage rails without series stacking, simplifying design.
- Elevated temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias provides predictable lifetime in hot environments.
- Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies reduce thermal stress and improve reliability in switching applications.
- Compact snap‑in package: φ22 × 25 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals offers a space‑efficient solution for chassis or PCB mounting.
- Built‑in safety features: Pressure relief vent design mitigates risk under abnormal voltage conditions for safer operation.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for simplified integration into regulated products and markets.
