LGU2E561MELA

The LGU2E561MELA is a Nichicon LGU series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor specified at 560 µF and 250 V. It is a polarized, radial can snap‑in type designed for general‑purpose use where high ripple endurance and elevated operating temperature are required.

Key value propositions include a 105°C rated temperature range with 3000 hours endurance at 105°C, industry‑scale availability (mass production) and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for designs that require long life and reliable ripple performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 560 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• High‑Temperature Endurance: Rated for continuous operation to 105°C with a rated life of 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance: Low‑frequency ripple current 1.8 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 2.7 A at 50 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple on the DC bus.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics: Specified leakage current of 1120 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Mechanical & Mounting: Snap‑in terminal, radial can (snap‑in) package sized φ25 × 45 mm (diameter × length) for secure chassis mounting.
• Compliance & Packaging: RoHS compliant and available in tray packing; product status: mass production.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and rated ripple current make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and filtering tasks in general‑purpose circuits requiring 560 µF at 250 V.
• High‑temperature environments — Designed for continuous operation up to 105°C with a 3000‑hour endurance rating at that temperature.
• AC ripple management — Specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (1.8 A at 120 Hz, 2.7 A at 50 kHz) support circuits with significant ripple demands.

Unique Advantages

• Long 105°C life: 3000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for higher‑temperature designs.
• Measured dissipation and leakage specs: tan δ 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current 1120 µA give clear, verifiable parameters for thermal and leakage budgeting.
• Robust ripple handling: Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings let designers assess performance across frequency ranges.
• Secure mounting: Snap‑in radial can package (φ25 × 45 mm) offers a compact, mechanically stable solution for chassis or board installations.
• Production readiness: Mass production status and tray packing support procurement and assembly at scale.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements for regulatory and environmental planning.
