LGN2G561MELC40

The LGN2G561MELC40 from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGN series, rated at 560 µF and 400 V. It is a radial, large-can snap-in type designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring high-voltage capacitance in a compact package (φ35 × 40 mm).

Built for durability, this part supports continuous operation to 105°C with 3000 hours of endurance and is RoHS compliant. Its combination of capacitance, voltage rating and snap-in mounting offers a practical solution for board-level high-voltage capacitor needs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage with tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Loss Characteristics — tanδ (DF) specified at 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) to characterize dielectric loss.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.9 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2.717 A (100 kHz) to handle varying ripple profiles.
• Leakage Current — Rated leakage current of 1410 µA (measured after standard voltage application).
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Qualified for 3000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range from -25°C to 105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can, snap-in terminal type (φ35 × 40 mm), supplied in tray packing for board-level assembly.
• Compliance & Availability — RoHS compliant and listed as mass production status.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Suitable for board-level use where a 400 V, 560 µF snap-in electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk capacitance.
• High-temperature systems — Appropriate for designs that must operate continuously up to 105°C with rated endurance of 3000 hours.
• Circuits with significant ripple — Suited to applications needing robust ripple handling across low and high frequencies (1.9 A at 120 Hz and 2.717 A at 100 kHz).

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability — 400 V rating enables use in higher-voltage assemblies without overspecifying multiple lower-voltage parts.
• High capacitance in a compact can — 560 µF housed in a φ35 × 40 mm case provides substantial energy storage where board space is constrained.
• Durable at elevated temperatures — 3000-hour endurance at 105°C supports sustained operation in demanding thermal environments.
• Dual-frequency ripple performance — Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz help ensure reliable operation across a range of switching and line-frequency conditions.
• Secure, board-ready mounting — Snap-in terminal design simplifies mechanical retention and assembly for PC-board installations.
• Regulatory compliance and production readiness — RoHS compliance and mass-production status support regulatory needs and procurement planning.
