LGU2F561MELB

The LGU2F561MELB is a Nichicon LGU series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal can, offering 560 µF capacitance at a 315 V rating. It is designed for general‑purpose applications that require a high‑voltage polarized capacitor with robust thermal endurance.

Key value comes from its combination of high voltage capability, elevated operating temperature rating, and long endurance — enabling sustained ripple handling and stable performance in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF capacitance rated at 315 V provides substantial energy storage for high‑voltage DC circuits.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated operating temperature −25°C to 105°C with a specified life of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current 2.05 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current up to 2.932 A (50 kHz) for effective smoothing under AC/rectified loads.
• Electrical Losses — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.15 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation characteristics at the rated voltage.
• Leakage Current & Tolerance — Leakage current specified at 1260 µA and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable bias behavior.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ30 × 45 mm), provided in tray packing for efficient assembly handling.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant and available in mass production quantities.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuitry — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing where a 315 V polarized capacitor is required, leveraging 560 µF capacitance and high ripple capability.
• High‑temperature assemblies — Suited for installations that demand operation up to 105°C and long life (3000 hours at 105°C) under rated ripple conditions.
• High‑voltage DC systems — Useful where elevated DC voltage handling (315 V) and defined leakage/tan δ specifications are important for stable system behavior.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 315 V rating lets designers use a single capacitor for higher DC systems, reducing the need for series stacking.
• Proven thermal endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current supports reliable long‑term operation in elevated temperatures.
• Strong ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (2.05 A @120 Hz, 2.932 A @50 kHz) enable effective smoothing across a range of operating conditions.
• Practical mounting: Snap‑in radial can simplifies PCB placement and mechanical retention for power assemblies.
• Tray packing for production: Supplied in tray packing to support streamlined handling and automated assembly processes.
• RoHS compliant and production ready: Meets RoHS requirements and is in mass production, supporting procurement and volume deployment.
