LGR2W560MELA25

The LGR2W560MELA25 is a snap-in terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGR series, rated at 56 µF and 450 V. It is designed for general-purpose applications that require a high-voltage, long-life electrolytic solution with snap-in mounting for secure board installation.

Key value propositions include high working voltage (450 V), long-life assurance (10,000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple conditions), and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for designs that demand sustained performance at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF rated capacitance at 450 V, ±20% tolerance.
• High-temperature long life — Specified for operation up to 105 °C with a rated endurance of 10,000 hours at 105 °C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Snap-in terminal construction — Radial can with snap-in mounting provides secure PCB attachment for through-hole assemblies.
• Ripple handling — Rated ripple currents of 470 mA (120 Hz) and 672.1 mA (50 kHz) are provided; frequency coefficients for rated ripple current are published in the datasheet.
• Electrical stability — Leakage current specified by I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tan δ (loss tangent) maximum 0.20 for 450 V rated parts.
• Operating range & reliability — Operating temperature range −25 °C to +105 °C; endurance limits include capacitance change within ±25% and leakage current not exceeding initial specification after the 10,000‑hour endurance test.
• RoHS compliant — Manufactured to meet RoHS requirements.
• Compact dimensions — Cylindrical radial can, nominal size L: 2.5 cm × D: 2.5 cm for convenient board layout in power assemblies.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose high-voltage circuits — Suited for applications requiring a 450 V rated electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in package.
• Elevated-temperature installations — Designed for use where continuous operation at up to 105 °C and long-life endurance are required.
• Through-hole PCB assemblies — Snap-in can construction provides mechanically robust mounting for board-level power components.

Unique Advantages

• Long-life assurance: 10,000 hours endurance at 105 °C under rated conditions provides predictable aging and lifecycle planning.
• High-voltage capability: 450 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power and energy-storage circuits without series stacking.
• Clear ripple specifications: Published ripple current ratings at key frequencies (120 Hz and 50 kHz) and frequency coefficients in the datasheet support thermal and ripple budgeting.
• Robust mounting: Snap-in terminal design simplifies secure through-hole installation and mechanical retention on PCBs.
• Measured electrical limits: Defined leakage current formula (I ≤ 3√CV) and tan δ limit (0.20 for 450 V) provide verifiable quality metrics for acceptance testing.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status ensures material compliance for restricted substances requirements.
