LGU2E561MELC

The LGU2E561MELC is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series, featuring a snap‑in terminal radial can and a nominal capacitance of 560 µF at a 250 V rating. It is specified for general‑purpose use where high capacitance, dependable ripple handling and elevated temperature endurance are required.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range (−40 °C to 105 °C), rated ripple current performance at both low and high frequencies, RoHS compliance, and a 3000‑hour endurance specification at 105 °C under rated ripple conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance and tolerance — 560 µF with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Rated voltage — 250 V DC for higher‑voltage general‑purpose applications.
• Ripple current capability — 1.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.7 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) for robust ripple handling.
• Endurance at elevated temperature — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple and bias at 105 °C.
• Operating temperature range — −40 °C to 105 °C suitable for a wide range of environments.
• Package and mounting — Snap‑in radial can, φ35 × 25L size, supplied in tray packing for mass production.
• Leakage current — 1,120 µA (specified leakage value).
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to applicable RoHS directives.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose circuits — Designed for use in general‑purpose applications requiring 560 µF at 250 V in a snap‑in radial package.
• High‑ripple environments — Appropriate where sustained ripple current is present, backed by specified ripple ratings at both low and high frequencies and 3000 h endurance at 105 °C.
• Board‑level power modules — Snap‑in mounting and compact φ35 × 25L dimensions support reliable board attachment and production assembly using tray packing.

Unique Advantages

• Sustained elevated‑temperature performance: 3000 hours endurance at 105 °C with rated ripple current provides predictable aging behavior under prolonged thermal stress.
• Clear ripple current spec across frequencies: Separate low‑frequency (1.8 A at 120 Hz) and high‑frequency (2.7 A at 50 kHz) ratings help designers size capacitors for mixed‑frequency ripple environments.
• High voltage capability: 250 V rating supports higher‑voltage general‑purpose designs that require substantial bulk capacitance.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ35 × 25L radial can with snap‑in terminals provides secure mechanical mounting for production assemblies.
• Measured leakage current: Specified leakage current of 1,120 µA gives a verifiable parameter for design and leakage budgeting.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
