Overview of LGN2G680MELY25 – 68 µF, 400 V Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGN2G680MELY25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for compact, high‑voltage general purpose applications. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at 400 V with a snap‑in radial can package and a reduced-case footprint—one rank smaller than the LGU series.
Engineered for sustained operation at elevated temperatures, this capacitor is rated for operation up to 105°C and is specified to withstand 3,000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, making it suitable for demanding power environments that require reliable ripple handling in a compact package.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Voltage — 68 µF rated capacitance at 400 V provides high‑voltage energy storage in a compact component.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified for operation to 105°C with an endurance rating of 3,000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
- Snap‑In Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in mounting for robust board retention and easy insertion into PCB assemblies.
- Compact Mechanical Footprint — One rank smaller case than LGU; dimensions L: 2.5 × D: 2.0 cm and a maximum seated height of 2.5 cm help save board space.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 490 mA at 120 Hz and 700.7 mA at 100 kHz to support filtering and smoothing under real operating conditions.
- Polarized Electrolytic Design — Polarized capacitor for DC applications with typical electrolytic characteristics and a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Marking — Printed with white color letters on a black sleeve for clear part identification.
Typical Applications
- General Purpose Power Modules — Compact 400 V capacitance for DC link smoothing and energy storage where board space is constrained.
- Industrial Power Supplies — High‑temperature endurance and rated ripple current support sustained operation in elevated ambient environments.
- Power Conversion and Filtering — Snap‑in mounting and defined ripple ratings make it suitable for bulk filtering and decoupling tasks in discrete power stages.
Unique Advantages
- Space‑Saving Form Factor: One rank smaller case than the LGU series and compact 2.5 × 2.0 cm dimensions reduce PCB footprint without sacrificing voltage rating.
- High‑Temperature Reliability: Endurance specified at 3,000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports long service life in hot environments.
- Defined Ripple Performance: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide verifiable data for thermal and lifetime calculations.
- Robust Mounting: Snap‑in radial can design offers secure board retention for assemblies that undergo handling or vibration.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance addresses environmental and materials requirements for many commercial and industrial projects.
