LGC2H680MELZ25

The LGC2H680MELZ25 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor designed for general‑purpose applications requiring high voltage handling and long life at elevated temperature. It delivers 68 µF at a 500 V rating in an ultra‑smaller‑sized snap‑in can optimized for equipment downsizing.

Engineered for continuous operation up to 105°C and RoHS compliant, this part is targeted at designs where compact footprint, high voltage capability and extended endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF rated capacitance at 500 V suitable for high‑voltage filtering and energy storage in general‑purpose circuits.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for –40°C to +105°C operation with a 5000 hour endurance at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Compact Snap‑in Package — Snap‑in radial can with a compact footprint (22 × 25 mm D×L, seated height max 2.5 cm) for space‑constrained assemblies; one rank smaller case than the LGX series to aid equipment downsizing.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 690 mA at 120 Hz and 986.7 mA at 50 kHz for effective ripple handling across common frequencies.
• Reliability Characteristics — Leakage current specification I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ ≤ 0.25 at 120 Hz and 20°C; impedance ratio Z(–25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 8 (120 Hz).
• Polarized, General‑Purpose Use — Polarized electrolytic design intended for general‑purpose power and filtering applications; capacitance tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Provides bulk smoothing and ripple suppression in high‑voltage power rails, leveraging the 500 V rating and rated ripple current.
• Size‑constrained industrial equipment — Compact 22 × 25 mm can and reduced case rank make the part suitable where board space and enclosure volume are limited.
• General‑purpose energy storage — Polarized capacitor for energy buffering in circuits that operate within –40°C to +105°C and require long life (5000 h at 105°C).

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 500 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage systems without changing part family.
• Space savings: One rank smaller case size than the LGX series and a compact 22 × 25 mm footprint support equipment downsizing efforts.
• Long life at elevated temperature: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated conditions supports extended field life in hot environments.
• Frequency range ripple handling: Specified ripple current at 120 Hz (690 mA) and 50 kHz (986.7 mA) helps designers evaluate performance across low and high ripple frequencies.
• Measurable reliability specs: Clear leakage current formula, tan δ limit and low‑temperature impedance ratio provide verifiable parameters for design validation.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports regulatory requirements for restricted substances.

Why Choose LGC2H680MELZ25?
