LGN2E561MELB30

The LGN2E561MELB30 is a snap-in, large-can aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGN series, offering 560 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating. It is designed for general-purpose applications that require bulk capacitance with robust ripple-current handling and long-term high-temperature endurance.

Built to meet continuous operation demands, this capacitor provides specified performance up to 105°C and an endurance rating of 3000 hours under rated ripple and DC bias conditions, making it suitable for designs that require stable filtering and energy storage over extended periods.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.5 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2.25 A at 100 kHz to support demanding AC ripple conditions.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Endurance specified for 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current (meets series endurance criteria when restored to 20°C).
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified at 0.15 maximum (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for the 250 V rating range.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,120 µA (conditioned per manufacturer test: after voltage application at 20°C).
• Snap-In Radial Can Package — φ30 × 30 mm snap-in terminal radial can for secure board mounting; packaged in trays for handling and assembly.
• RoHS Compliant — Compliant with RoHS directive as indicated for the LGN series.

Typical Applications

• Power conversion and filtering — Bulk capacitance and specified ripple-current ratings support smoothing and filtering in high-voltage power circuits where 250 V operation is required.
• Industrial power equipment — High-temperature endurance (3000 h at 105°C) and robust leakage/tanδ specifications make it suitable for industrial general-purpose power modules.
• General-purpose energy storage — Provides stable capacitance and loss characteristics for designs that need reliable DC link or reservoir capacitance under continuous ripple stress.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for prolonged high-temperature duty — Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable lifetime behavior for sustained thermal stress.
• Clear performance metrics — Specified tanδ (0.15 max at 120 Hz, 20°C) and measured leakage current (1,120 µA) facilitate accurate thermal and loss budgeting in designs.
• Dual-frequency ripple specification — Separate ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz let engineers size the capacitor for both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Compact snap-in can — φ30 × 30 mm radial snap-in package balances capacitance density with straightforward PCB mounting for production assembly.
• Production-ready packaging — Tray packing and mass-production status support volume procurement and streamlined integration into assembly lines.
