LGN2Z561MELZ30

The LGN2Z561MELZ30 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 180 V rating in a compact radial can with snap-in mounting.

Engineered for elevated-temperature operation, this capacitor withstands rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105°C and is one rank smaller in case size than the LGU series, providing a space-efficient solution where high temperature endurance and reliable polarized capacitance are required. It is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage and a tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with endurance testing: meets specified performance after 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.5 A at 120 Hz and 2.25 A at 100 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple on the DC bus.
• Compact Snap-in Package — Radial, can-type snap-in mounting designed for secure board anchoring; physical size approximately L: 3.0 cm × D: 2.2 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.181 inch.
• Reliability Characteristics — Endurance and shelf-life specifications ensure capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ within 200% of initial value, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified limits after test conditions described in the datasheet.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Construction — Designed as a polarized aluminum electrolytic for typical DC smoothing and energy-storage roles in polarized circuits.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuits — Suited for general-purpose DC smoothing and bulk capacitance where a polarized electrolytic capacitor is required.
• High-temperature environments — Applicable in equipment that requires stable capacitor performance up to 105°C for extended periods.
• Space-constrained designs — Compact, one-rank-smaller case size than the LGU series for designs that need reduced board footprint with snap-in mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature endurance: Withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, providing predictable long-term behavior under elevated temperatures.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz (1.5 A) and 100 kHz (2.25 A) to address low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Compact, robust mounting: Snap-in radial can offers strong mechanical retention and a reduced case size compared to LGU, easing layout in dense assemblies.
• Clear performance limits: Endurance and shelf-life criteria (capacitance change, tan δ, leakage current) are defined in the datasheet, aiding design verification and reliability planning.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies environmental and regulatory evaluation in procurement and design reviews.
