LGN2C561MELZ30

The LGN2C561MELZ30 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGN series. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact, radial can snap‑in package.

Designed for general‑purpose applications, this part combines high ripple handling and extended high‑temperature endurance to support circuits requiring reliable bulk capacitance and robust thermal performance up to 105°C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 560 µF rated capacitance at 160 V with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%). Polarized design for typical electrolytic use.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.5 A at 120 Hz and 2.25 A at 100 kHz, supporting designs with sustained AC ripple demands.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified operating temperature range of –40°C to +105°C and rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C.
• Compact Snap‑In Package — Radial, can snap‑in construction with physical size approximately 22 × 30 mm (D × L) and a seated height maximum of 1.181 inch for secure PCB mounting.
• Low Leakage — Low leakage current characteristic (0.89 mA as shown in the LGN series dimension table for this part), supporting stable DC performance after voltage application.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Space‑Efficient Design — One rank smaller case size than the LGU series, enabling denser board layouts where a compact snap‑in electrolytic is needed.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling for power rails in general‑purpose electronic equipment.
• High‑temperature environments — Suitable where operation up to 105°C and prolonged ripple endurance (3000 hours at 105°C) are required.
• PCB snap‑in mounting — Radial snap‑in can style for secure mechanical retention on boards that use snap‑in terminals.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, helping maintain capacitance and electrical characteristics in elevated temperature use.
• High ripple performance: 1.5 A at 120 Hz and 2.25 A at 100 kHz ripple ratings support applications with sustained AC components on DC rails.
• Compact footprint: One rank smaller case than the LGU series and 22 × 30 mm dimensions enable tighter board layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in can provides robust mechanical retention for applications where board hold and vibration resistance matter.
• Low leakage behavior: Low leakage current (0.89 mA per LGN series table) supports stable DC retention and predictable charge/discharge characteristics.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements, enabling use in regulated assemblies.
