LGG2C681MELA25

The LGG2C681MELA25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGG series. It delivers 680 µF nominal capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact φ25 × 25 mm radial snap‑in can optimized for equipment downsizing.

Designed for general‑purpose power applications, the capacitor offers 105°C endurance, defined ripple current performance across low and high frequencies, and RoHS compliance for modern production requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 680 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V; capacitance tolerance is −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low‑frequency ripple capability of 1.7 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple capability of 2.55 A (100 kHz), specified for thermal and performance planning.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Typical leakage current specified at 980 µA and maximum tan δ of 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), useful for loss and standby current budgeting.
• Compact Snap‑In Package — Radial snap‑in can, dimension φ25 × 25 mm, designed as one rank smaller case in the LGG family to assist equipment miniaturization; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Reliability Metrics — Endurance and shelf‑life characteristics defined by Nichicon: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ within 200% of initial spec, and leakage current meeting initial limits after test conditions.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant as stated for the LGG series.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in equipment where 160 V rated capacitance and defined ripple capability are required.
• Equipment downsizing — Compact φ25 × 25 mm snap‑in can suited for designs migrating to smaller case sizes within the LGG product family.
• High‑temperature environments — Power electronics and assemblies that must maintain performance up to 105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance specification.

Unique Advantages

• Compact form factor for space‑constrained designs — One rank smaller case sizing in the LGG series enables reduced enclosure and board area without losing capacitance at 160 V.
• Defined ripple handling across frequencies — Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz supports thermal budgeting for low‑ and high‑frequency power stages.
• Engineered for elevated temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C with post‑test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage provide predictable life characteristics.
• Low leakage and controlled dissipation — Leakage current and tan δ specifications enable more accurate standby and loss calculations in power designs.
• Production‑friendly packaging — Tray packing simplifies automated handling and assembly for volume manufacturing.
• RoHS compliance — Meets directive requirements for lead‑free manufacturing environments.
