Overview of LGU2G560MELY – 56 µF, 400 V Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGU2G560MELY is a Nichicon LGU‑series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 56 µF and 400 V. Designed as a radial, snap‑in can for general‑purpose power electronics, it delivers high‑voltage bulk capacitance with specified ripple capability and extended endurance for continuous operation at elevated temperature.
Key value comes from its 400 V rating, snap‑in mounting for secure PCB retention, and endurance tested to 3000 hours at 105°C—making it suitable for high‑voltage filtering and energy‑smoothing applications in industrial and power designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage, providing bulk storage for high‑voltage applications.
- Snap‑in Radial Can — Snap‑in terminal type and radial, can‑snap‑in package for robust PCB mounting and ease of assembly. Packaged in trays for board‑level handling.
- Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −25°C to 105°C with endurance specified as 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, in line with LGU series qualification.
- Ripple Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current of 510 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 729.3 mA at higher operating frequency, enabling reliable ripple handling in power circuits.
- Leakage & Loss — Specified leakage current of 440 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), supporting predictable loss and leakage behavior.
- Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance ±20% and polarized construction; designed for DC applications where polarity is maintained.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead‑restricted manufacturing.
- Compact Size — φ20 × 25 mm can dimensions suitable for space‑constrained power modules and assemblies.
Typical Applications
- High‑Voltage Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing in 400 V class DC power supplies and power conversion modules.
- Industrial Power Electronics — Energy buffering and ripple suppression in general‑purpose industrial controllers and power assemblies.
- DC Link / Converter Support — Decoupling and energy storage for converters and inverters requiring high‑voltage capacitance and rated ripple capability.
Unique Advantages
- High‑voltage bulk capacitance: 56 µF at 400 V provides substantial stored energy in a compact snap‑in can for high‑voltage circuits.
- Designed for continuous high‑temperature operation: Endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple ensures predictable lifetime in demanding environments.
- Measured ripple and loss data: Defined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current figures and a tan δ of 0.15 give designers quantifiable performance for thermal and impedance budgeting.
- Secure PCB mounting: Snap‑in terminals deliver reliable mechanical retention for power assemblies and simplify insertion and assembly processes.
- RoHS compliance and tray packing: Meets lead‑restriction requirements and is supplied in trays for production handling.
