Overview of LGJ2G560MELB15 – 56 µF, 400 V Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (105°C Low-Profile)
The LGJ2G560MELB15 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a low-profile, radial can package. It delivers 56 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating with polarized terminals and is specified for general-purpose applications.
Designed for elevated-temperature operation, this part supports an operating range of −25°C to 105°C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C. Its combination of rated voltage, ripple handling and compact φ30 × 15 mm size makes it suitable for applications that require durable high-voltage bulk capacitance in a snap-in form factor.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF rated capacitance at 400 V provides bulk energy storage for high-voltage circuits.
- Tolerance — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, enabling predictable behavior within specified limits.
- High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C to support elevated-temperature operation and long-term reliability.
- Ripple Current Capability — 400 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 572 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) to handle AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 440 µA after rated voltage application, enabling predictable leakage behavior in designs.
- Operating Temperature Range — −25°C to 105°C to match common industrial and power-system thermal environments.
- Package & Mounting — Snap-in radial can, φ30 × 15 mm size (L: 1.5 × D: 3 cm), tray packing; designed for snap-in mounting in mass-production assemblies.
- Polarized Construction — Electrolytic, polarized capacitor for DC bulk and filtering use in appropriate circuits.
Typical Applications
- General-Purpose Power Systems — Bulk capacitance in high-voltage DC circuits where a 400 V rating and 56 µF value are required.
- Industrial Power Supplies — Provides high-voltage smoothing and energy storage with a 105°C endurance rating for elevated operating temperatures.
- Power Conversion Modules — Suited for assemblies that require snap-in mounting and reliable ripple handling across low and high frequencies.
- Mass-Produced Electronic Equipment — Tray-packed and intended for mass production lines where snap-in connectors streamline assembly.
Unique Advantages
- High-Voltage Bulk Capability: 400 V rating with 56 µF capacitance delivers substantial energy storage for high-voltage circuits.
- Robust Thermal Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C supports durability in hot operating environments and long-term system stability.
- Wide Operating Temperature: Specified from −25°C to 105°C to accommodate a broad range of environmental conditions.
- Frequency-Scaled Ripple Performance: Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 50 kHz (400 mA and 572 mA respectively) provide quantified ripple handling across frequencies.
- Compact Snap-in Form Factor: φ30 × 15 mm low-profile radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies mechanical retention and assembly in densely packed designs.
- Production-Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass-production readiness reduce handling variability for high-volume manufacturing.
