LGJ2F680MELA15

The LGJ2F680MELA15 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGJ series designed for general‑purpose applications. It combines a 68 µF capacitance with a 315 V rated voltage in a low‑profile radial, can snap‑in package sized φ25 × 15 mm.

Engineered for applications that require high operating temperature capability and predictable electrical characteristics, this part delivers specified ripple handling and leakage performance with endurance specified at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 68 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C as specified.
• Voltage Rating — Rated for 315 V operation to support higher‑voltage general‑purpose designs.
• Snap‑in Mounting — Radial, can snap‑in package for secure panel/chassis mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Low‑Profile Package — Compact dimensions of φ25 × 15 mm (D × L) enable usage where board or chassis height is constrained.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating temperature −25°C to +105°C with life/endurance specified at 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 400 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 572 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting AC ripple handling across frequencies.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current specified at 430 µA, allowing predictable bias current planning.
• Polarized Device — Polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC filtering and energy storage in power circuits.
• Packaging & Availability — Tray packing; product status listed as mass production.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Electronics — Intended for general‑purpose applications that require a 315 V rated electrolytic capacitor with 68 µF capacitance and 105°C capability.
• Panel and Chassis Power Assemblies — Snap‑in terminal design supports secure mounting in power assemblies and other chassis‑mounted applications.
• High‑Temperature Operating Environments — Rated for continuous operation up to 105°C with 2000 h endurance at that temperature for sustained use in elevated ambient conditions.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 315 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage power designs requiring aluminium electrolytic capacitance.
• Compact, low‑profile footprint: φ25 × 15 mm size conserves vertical space while providing substantial capacitance for the form factor.
• Defined ripple handling across frequencies: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz (400 mA) and 50 kHz (572 mA) support predictable thermal and performance planning across low and high frequencies.
• Elevated temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C gives a quantified life expectation for designs operating in warm environments.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage current specified at 430 µA assists in designing bias and discharge paths with known parameters.
• Ready for production volumes: Tray packing and mass‑production status facilitate procurement for volume manufacturing.
