LGU2E561MELB

The LGU2E561MELB from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGU series, designed for general-purpose power applications. It provides 560 µF capacitance at a 250 V rated voltage in a rugged radial, can-type snap-in package sized φ30 × 35 mm (3.5 × 3.0 cm).

Engineered for sustained performance, this part combines high ripple-current capability and long endurance at elevated temperatures to support demanding power systems that require stable filtering and bulk energy storage within its specified limits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 560 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 250 V rated voltage suitable for higher-voltage general-purpose power applications.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.8 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2.7 A at 50 kHz, supporting robust filtering under AC ripple loads.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1120 µA (after standard test conditions), for predictable static behavior in DC circuits.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, per LGU series endurance specifications.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +105°C, matching the LGU series category temperature for 16 to 250 V parts.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can-type snap-in package with snap-in terminals for secure board mounting; tray packing for production handling.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems — Use where 250 V rated voltage and 560 µF capacitance are required for bulk decoupling and energy storage within the specified temperature and ripple limits.
• High-temperature environments — Suited to designs that require sustained operation up to 105°C and demonstrated endurance of 3000 hours at that temperature under rated ripple conditions.
• High-ripple circuits — Appropriate for circuits that experience significant AC ripple thanks to specified ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability — Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (1.8 A at 120 Hz; 2.7 A at 50 kHz) enable reliable filtering performance across frequency ranges.
• Proven high-temperature endurance — Designed to withstand 3000 hours at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting long-term reliability in elevated-temperature assemblies.
• Wide operating temperature window — −40°C to +105°C operation covers many industrial and commercial thermal profiles.
• Snap-in mechanical retention — Radial, snap-in can package simplifies board mounting and mechanical stability in high-vibration or production environments.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS directive requirements for material compliance.
• Production-ready packaging — Tray packing and mass production availability to support high-volume assembly flow.
