LGR2G560MELZ25

The LGR2G560MELZ25 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGR long-life series. It provides 56 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating in a radial, snap-in can package designed for general-purpose applications.

Engineered for prolonged operation at elevated temperatures, this part is specified for continuous operation up to 105°C with a guaranteed long-life performance of 10,000 hours under rated ripple current conditions, making it suitable for designs that require sustained ripple handling and stability over time.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 56 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage for higher-voltage general-purpose circuits.
• Long-life Assurance: Endurance specified for 10,000 hours at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current; after the test the capacitance change is within ±25% and leakage current remains within initial specified limits.
• High-temperature Operation: Rated operating temperature range is −25°C to +105°C, matching the LGR series category for 400 V parts.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 510 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 729.3 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency). Frequency coefficients are provided (1.00 at 120 Hz for 400 V), allowing frequency-specific ripple assessments.
• Electrical Quality: Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C) and a specified tan δ maximum of 0.15 for 200–400 V parts under the datasheet test conditions.
• Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current limit defined by I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes' application of rated voltage at 20°C, per datasheet methodology.
• Mounting & Package: Snap-in terminal, radial can package for secure PCB mounting in through-hole assemblies.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuits: Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling in general-purpose power electronics where long-term ripple endurance at elevated temperature is required.
• AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies: Suitable for DC bias environments that require sustained ripple current performance and long operational life at up to 105°C.
• Industrial electronics: Fits applications needing high-voltage (400 V) electrolytic capacitance with proven endurance under continuous ripple stress.

Unique Advantages

• Proven long-life specification: 10,000-hour endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current provides a clear, measurable metric for reliability planning.
• High-voltage capability: 400 V rating enables use in higher-voltage circuits without requiring parallel lower-voltage capacitors.
• Frequency-aware ripple ratings: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz plus frequency coefficients allow accurate thermal and ripple budgeting across operating frequencies.
• Industry-standard mounting: Snap-in radial can package simplifies board retention and mechanical robustness in through-hole assemblies.
• Measured electrical limits: Defined tan δ and leakage current criteria (including the I ≤ 3√CV rule) support predictable electrical performance and screening during design.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in designs requiring restricted substances compliance.
