LASW6820MELZ30

The LASW6820MELZ30 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LAS series. It provides 82 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 420 V in a compact radial can snap‑in package (L: 3.0 cm × D: 2.2 cm).

Designed for general‑purpose power applications and equipment operating in fluctuating voltage environments, this capacitor delivers long high‑temperature endurance and elevated ripple current capability while incorporating improved safety features for abnormally excessive voltage events. It is RoHS‑compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 82 µF nominal capacitance with a 420 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated to withstand 2000 hours of application of rated ripple current at 105°C; meets endurance criteria for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current after the endurance test.
• Elevated Ripple Current — Handles rated ripple current of 640 mA at 120 Hz and 736 mA at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients specified in the LAS series datasheet.
• Improved Safety for Abnormal Voltage — Series includes enhanced safety performance and a pressure relief vent that operates without flames, ignition, or dispersion of parts under test conditions.
• Compact Snap‑In Package — Radial can, snap‑in terminal mounting for secure PCB installation; physical dimensions L: 3.0 cm × D: 2.2 cm and Height Seated Max 1.181 inch.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Specified for operation from −25°C to +105°C.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power electronics — Suitable where a 420 V, 82 µF polarized capacitor with snap‑in mounting is required.
• Equipment in fluctuating voltage environments — Specifically designed for equipment used at voltage fluctuating areas, offering enhanced safety under abnormal voltage conditions.
• Designs requiring high ripple handling at elevated temperature — Appropriate for circuits that demand sustained ripple current handling and 2000 hour endurance at 105°C.
• Secure PCB power modules — Snap‑in terminal package provides mechanical retention for axial/radial board mounting in compact assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature life: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current ensures durability in high‑stress thermal environments.
• High ripple capability: Rated ripple currents of 640 mA (120 Hz) and 736 mA (10 kHz) support applications with significant AC content on DC rails.
• Compact, snap‑in form factor: Smaller case sizes (L: 3.0 cm × D: 2.2 cm) deliver space savings while providing robust snap‑in mounting for PCB retention.
• Enhanced abnormal‑voltage safety: Improved safety features and a pressure relief vent reduce risk during overvoltage events without releasing flames or fragments.
• Broad operating range: −25°C to +105°C rating covers many industrial and commercial operating conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports inclusion in modern, regulatory‑compliant product designs.
