Overview of LGN2X680MELB30 – Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 600 V, 68 µF
The LGN2X680MELB30 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGN series. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at a 600 V rated voltage in a compact φ30×30 mm snap-in can suitable for general-purpose power applications.
Designed for high-voltage, high-temperature environments, this part combines a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C with controlled loss (tan δ) and defined ripple performance to support reliable smoothing and energy-storage functions in electronic systems.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance — 68 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 600 V, providing defined capacitance and voltage handling for high-voltage designs.
- Loss and Leakage — Tan δ (DF) specified at 0.20 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current of 600 µA, enabling predictable dissipation and low steady-state leakage.
- Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 560 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 800.8 mA (100 kHz) to support AC ripple and switching workloads within rated limits.
- Thermal and Endurance — Rated operating temperature range of −25°C to +105°C with a specified life of 2000 hours at 105°C for 600 V parts, providing stability under elevated temperature and bias conditions.
- Package & Mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can (φ30×30 mm) for secure PCB mounting and straightforward assembly; supplied in tray packing for handling and production readiness.
- Standards & Compliance — RoHS compliant and produced by Nichicon; part status: mass production.
Typical Applications
- General-Purpose Power Filtering — Used for bulk smoothing and filtering in high-voltage power supplies and power conversion circuits where a 600 V rating is required.
- DC Link and Energy Storage — Suitable for DC-link or intermediate-energy storage roles in systems that require defined capacitance and ripple handling at elevated voltages and temperatures.
- Industrial Power Electronics — Applied in general-purpose industrial power equipment that benefits from a compact snap-in can, defined ripple current limits, and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C.
Unique Advantages
- High Voltage Capability: 600 V rated voltage enables use in high-voltage circuits without series stacking.
- Compact Snap-In Package: φ30×30 mm radial snap-in can reduces board footprint while providing secure mechanical mounting.
- Defined High-Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C (for 600 V parts) ensures predictable long-term performance under elevated temperature and bias.
- Measured Ripple Performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide engineers clear parameters for thermal and lifetime budgeting.
- Controlled Loss and Leakage: Tan δ specified at 0.20 and leakage current of 600 µA offer predictable dissipation and standby characteristics.
- Production-Ready Supply: Mass production status and tray packing support volume procurement and assembly flow.
