LGN2C561MELY35

The LGN2C561MELY35 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications. It uses a radial can, snap‑in package and provides polarized capacitance with a compact, one‑rank‑smaller case size compared to the LGU series.

Specifically engineered for elevated operating temperatures, this capacitor is rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, offering durable performance for power filtering and energy storage in equipment operating across –40°C to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage – 560 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• High‑Temperature Endurance – Endurance specification: withstands 3000 hours of D.C. bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C with capacitance change within ±20% and leakage current within initial limits.
• Ripple Current Capability – Rated ripple current: 1.5 A at 120 Hz and 2.25 A at 100 kHz, supporting sustained ripple handling in power circuits.
• Operating Temperature Range – Specified for –40°C to +105°C, allowing use across a broad range of ambient conditions.
• Package & Mounting – Radial, can‑style snap‑in terminal package for secure board mounting; PC board hole and terminal dimensions provided in the datasheet.
• Compact Footprint – Size: approximately 20 × 35 mm (D × L), with a seated height maximum of 1.378 inch (35 mm), delivering a smaller case option within the LGN family.
• Polarized Design – Polarized electrolytic construction for typical power smoothing and bulk storage use cases.
• RoHS Compliant – Meets the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuitry – Bulk capacitance and smoothing in power conversion and supply modules for industrial and commercial equipment.
• Filtering and decoupling – Energy storage and ripple reduction where sustained ripple current at elevated temperatures is required.
• Board‑mounted power assemblies – Snap‑in mounting supports mechanical stability for chassis or PCB installations in general‑purpose products.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high‑temperature endurance – Rated to withstand 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and bias, supporting long service life in hot environments.
• Compact, space‑efficient case – One rank smaller case size than the LGU series provides the same capacitance in a reduced footprint for tighter layouts.
• Robust ripple handling – Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 100 kHz enable reliable performance across common power frequencies.
• Simple, reliable mounting – Snap‑in radial can package simplifies assembly and provides secure board retention.
• Regulatory compliance – RoHS conformity supports use in designs targeting regulated markets.
