LGU2C561MELZ

The LGU2C561MELZ is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series designed for general-purpose applications requiring high-voltage capacitance in a radial, snap‑in can. This part provides 560 µF of capacitance at a 160 V rating with a wide operating temperature range of –40°C to 105°C and is manufactured for mass production.

Engineered for sustained ripple performance and long endurance, the LGU2C561MELZ delivers specified low- and high-frequency ripple current handling and a 3000‑hour lifetime at 105°C for reliable operation in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V, tolerance ±20%.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from –40°C to 105°C.
• Long Endurance — Endurance specification: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple/current conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.67 A at 120 Hz; high-frequency ripple current 2.505 A at 50 kHz.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 890 µA; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ22 × 35 mm), tray packing for production handling.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in 160 V circuits where sustained ripple handling and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Industrial power electronics — Use in assemblies that demand radial snap‑in mounting and extended life at elevated temperatures up to 105°C.
• High-voltage DC circuits — Application in 160 V DC systems that benefit from the capacitor’s leakage, tan δ, and ripple current specifications.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C, supporting long-term stability under elevated-temperature stress.
• Proven ripple performance: Defined low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (1.67 A at 120 Hz, 2.505 A at 50 kHz) for predictable thermal and electrical behavior.
• Clear electrical limits: Specified leakage current (890 µA) and tan δ (0.15 at 120 Hz, 20°C) enable straightforward selection and margining in designs.
• Production-ready packaging: Tray packing and snap‑in radial can format streamline assembly for volume manufacturing.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for qualification in restricted‑substance environments.
