LGM2W561MELC35

The LGM2W561MELC35 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can offering 560 µF at 450 V. It is part of Nichicon’s LGM series and provides a one‑rank smaller case size than the LGL series, making it suited for equipment downsizing and space‑constrained high‑voltage designs.

Engineered for general‑purpose use, the capacitor supports operation from −25 °C to +105 °C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C and is RoHS‑compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF rated capacitance at 450 V, suitable for high‑voltage bulk storage in general‑purpose circuits.
• Compact Snap‑in Package — Snap‑in radial can (35 × 35 mm) delivering a smaller case size (one rank smaller than LGL) to support equipment downsizing and board‑level retention.
• Wide Operating Temperature & Endurance — Rated for −25 °C to +105 °C with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105 °C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current 1.2 A at 120 Hz and a high‑frequency ripple specification of 1.716 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficients provided in the series data guide ripple scaling across frequencies.
• Tolerance, Polarization & Loss — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C); polarized device with tan δ ≤ 0.20 (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Leakage & Stability — Leakage current specified by datasheet as I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20 °C; part‑level table lists initial leakage current of 1.50 mA for the 560 µF, 450 V, 35 × 35 mm configuration.
• Shelf Life & Marking — Shelf life defined (1000 hours at 105 °C then voltage treatment per JIS) with white printing on a black sleeve for part identification.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in 450 V circuits where a polarized, high‑voltage capacitor is required.
• Equipment downsizing — One rank smaller case than the LGL series supports reduced enclosure and PCB footprint designs.
• High‑temperature environments — Suitable for applications demanding continuous operation up to 105 °C and long endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑efficient high‑voltage storage: 560 µF at 450 V in a 35 × 35 mm snap‑in can delivers substantial capacitance while enabling smaller case footprints compared with the LGL series.
• Designed for elevated temperatures: Rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable performance in high‑temperature installations.
• Snap‑in mounting for reliable retention: Radial snap‑in terminals simplify board insertion and mechanical retention for high‑voltage power assemblies.
• Measured ripple handling: 1.2 A rated ripple at 120 Hz and defined high‑frequency ripple behavior (1.716 A at 50 kHz) enable designers to size caps to expected ripple profiles using the series frequency coefficients.
• Specification‑based leakage and stability: Leakage current and tan δ defined by JIS/JIS‑based testing and datasheet formulas for predictable aging and end‑of‑life behavior.
• RoHS‑compliant construction: Meets RoHS requirements for regulated markets and assemblies.
