LGR2E561MELB35

The LGR2E561MELB35 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGR long-life assurance series. It provides 560 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a radial, snap-in can designed for general-purpose power applications.

Designed for elevated-temperature operation, the part supports an operating temperature range from –40°C to 105°C and is specified for 10,000 hours of endurance at 105°C under rated ripple conditions. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF capacitance at 250 V nominal, suitable for medium-voltage bulk and smoothing roles.
• Long-Life Assurance — Specified endurance of 10,000 hours at 105°C when DC bias plus rated ripple current is applied, per the LGR series long-life specification.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Operates from –40°C to 105°C (category temperature range for 200 + 250 V in the LGR series).
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.5 A at 120 Hz and 2.25 A at 50 kHz for effective ripple handling across common power frequencies.
• Packaging & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can for secure board mounting in through-hole assemblies.
• Tolerance and Polarization — Capacitance tolerance of –20% to +20%; polarized electrolytic construction.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements as part of the LGR series declaration.
• Compact Footprint — Physical size approximately L: 3.5 × D: 3 cm for board planning and mechanical integration.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in general-purpose equipment where 250 V rating and long-term heat endurance are required.
• High-Temperature Environments — Power systems and assemblies that must sustain performance up to 105°C for extended periods, benefiting from the LGR series 10,000-hour rating.
• Frequency-Dependent Ripple Handling — Circuits requiring effective ripple suppression at both mains-related frequencies (120 Hz) and higher switching frequencies (tens of kHz), supported by rated ripple specifications.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Long-Life Specified: Endurance rating of 10,000 hours at 105°C provides a measurable reliability target for designs requiring extended high-temperature operation.
• High-Voltage Bulk Capability: 250 V rating combined with 560 µF capacitance offers significant energy storage for medium-voltage power rails.
• Frequency-Qualified Ripple Performance: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 50 kHz support designers optimizing for both low-frequency and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Board-Ready Snap-In Mounting: Radial snap-in terminal package simplifies secure through-hole mounting and mechanical retention on PCBs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance aligns the component with lead-free and restricted-substance requirements for many commercial applications.
• Clear Electrical Limits: Specified leakage, tolerance, and polarization parameters allow precise system-level energy budgeting and safety margin planning.
