LGN2C681MELZ35

The LGN2C681MELZ35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGN series. It delivers 680 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact radial can snap‑in package sized 22 × 35 mm (3.5 × 2.2 cm).

Designed for general‑purpose power applications, this capacitor emphasizes high‑temperature endurance and reliable ripple handling, with RoHS compliance for regulatory compatibility.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity and Voltage — 680 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours of operation at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, meeting the LGN series endurance specification.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 1.7 A at 120 Hz and 2.55 A at 100 kHz, supporting AC ripple and switching‑frequency stress in power circuits.
• Low Leakage — Typical leakage current listed as 0.98 mA for the 22 × 35 mm size at the rated conditions (per LGN series dimension data).
• Package and Mounting — Radial can, snap‑in terminal type for secure board mounting and straightforward assembly into power modules.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for –40°C to +105°C, accommodating elevated ambient conditions specified for the series.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuits — Bulk capacitance and ripple handling where a 160 V, 680 µF polarized capacitor is required.
• Power conversion modules — Use in DC bus or intermediate storage locations that require high ripple current endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Industrial equipment — Suitable for general‑purpose power filtering in systems operating up to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high‑temperature reliability: Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable performance in elevated‑temperature environments.
• Robust ripple handling: Defined ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies (1.7 A at 120 Hz, 2.55 A at 100 kHz) address a range of power supply stress conditions.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: 22 × 35 mm can size (3.5 × 2.2 cm) in a radial snap‑in package eases mechanical retention and assembly for power assemblies.
• Low leakage characteristic: 0.98 mA leakage for the specified size helps maintain efficiency and predictable DC performance.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports deployment in designs that must meet current environmental directives.
