LGC2H561MELB60

The LGC2H561MELB60 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high‑voltage, long‑life applications. It combines a 500 V rated voltage with 560 µF capacitance in a compact, ultra‑smaller‑sized can—one rank smaller than the LGX series—making it suited for equipment downsizing and space‑constrained power designs.

Engineered for continuous operation up to 105°C and specified for 5,000 hours at 105°C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple, this polarized capacitor targets general purpose power systems that require high voltage handling, long endurance, and robust ripple capability.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 560 µF rated capacitance at 500 V — provides bulk energy storage for high‑voltage power rails.
• High‑Temperature Long Life: Rated for –40°C to +105°C with 5,000 hours endurance at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Compact Snap‑in Package: Radial, can with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting and compact assembly; one rank smaller case than LGX for equipment downsizing.
• Ripple Current Capability: Specified ripple current of 2.34 A at 120 Hz and 3.346 A at 50 kHz, with frequency coefficients provided for other frequencies to size ripple handling accurately.
• Leakage Current Performance: Leakage specified by I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C, enabling predictable leakage behavior for power designs.
• Electrical Stability: tan δ ≤ 0.25 (120 Hz, 20°C) and low‑temperature impedance stability Z(–25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 8 (120 Hz).
• Compliance: RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk smoothing and energy storage on high‑voltage DC rails where 500 V rating and long life at 105°C are required.
• Power Conversion & Inverters: DC link and filter applications benefiting from high ripple current capability and high voltage rating.
• UPS and Energy Storage Systems: High‑voltage reservoir capacitance for backup and hold‑up time in compact system footprints.
• General Purpose High‑Voltage Equipment: Any equipment requiring polarized high‑voltage capacitance with predictable leakage and long endurance in reduced enclosures.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑Saving Form Factor: One rank smaller case size than LGX enables smaller assemblies without sacrificing voltage or capacitance.
• Designed for High‑Temperature Duty: Qualified for 5,000 hours at 105°C, supporting reliable operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Predictable Ripple and Frequency Behavior: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz plus frequency coefficients allow accurate thermal and lifetime margining across frequencies.
• Clear Leakage Specification: Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√CV (μA) gives designers a calculable baseline for standby loss and power budgeting.
• Robust Electrical Characteristics: Low tan δ and specified low‑temperature impedance stability help maintain filtering performance across temperature extremes.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 requirements for restricted substances.
