Overview of LGG2E681MELA40 – 250 V, 680 µF Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGG2E681MELA40 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series, offering 680 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 250 V. As part of the LGG family—an ultra‑smaller‑sized, 105°C snap‑in series—this device is intended for general‑purpose electronic equipment where reduced case size and robust ripple handling are required.
Key value comes from its compact φ25 × 40 mm radial can, snap‑in mounting, rated operating range of −40°C to 105°C, and specified ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, supporting reliable performance in space‑constrained designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Voltage — 680 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and a tolerance of ±20%.
- Compact Snap‑in Package — Radial, can‑style snap‑in termination in a φ25 × 40 mm package for secure board mounting and reduced case size.
- High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C.
- Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 1.7 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current of 2.55 A (100 kHz), supporting circuits with significant AC stress.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1230 µA (measured per product conditions).
- Polarized, General‑Purpose — Polarized electrolytic capacitor intended for general‑purpose applications.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
- Production and Packaging — Product is in mass production and supplied in tray packing.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance of 680 µF at 250 V in board‑level applications where standard polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used.
- Equipment down‑sizing — LGG series is specified as ultra‑smaller‑sized and suited for equipment down sizing; the compact φ25 × 40 mm case helps reduce enclosure and PCB footprint.
- Circuits with significant ripple currents — The 1.7 A (120 Hz) and 2.55 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings support use in applications exposed to continuous AC ripple stress.
- High‑temperature environments — Rated for −40°C to 105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C for sustained elevated temperature operation.
Unique Advantages
- Compact form factor: One rank smaller case sizing in the LGG series enables tighter packing and smaller overall equipment size.
- Robust ripple handling: Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (1.7 A at 120 Hz, 2.55 A at 100 kHz) give designers clear metrics for AC stress capability.
- High‑temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C with defined post‑endurance acceptance criteria helps ensure long‑term stability in hot operating conditions.
- Secure snap‑in mounting: Snap‑in terminals provide mechanical stability for chassis or board mounting in vertical can configurations.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regions and products with restricted substance requirements.
- Production readiness: Listed as mass production and shipped in tray packing for volume assembly processes.
