Overview of LGU2P561MELA – 220 V, 560 µF Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGU2P561MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general purpose power applications. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating in a radial, can‑style snap‑in package with a φ25 × 40 mm footprint.
Built for elevated temperature operation and long endurance, this part is specified for –40°C to 105°C operation and 3000 hours of rated endurance at 105°C, making it suitable for designs requiring stable high‑voltage bulk capacitance and reliable ripple handling.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance — 560 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 220 V; designed to support bulk energy storage and DC voltage stabilization.
- Low Loss Characteristic — Specified tan δ of 0.15 at 20°C and 120 Hz, providing predictable dissipation factor for thermal and stability calculations.
- Leakage Current — Rated leakage current of 1050 µA, measured under standard test conditions for predictable standby current.
- Ripple Current Capability — Handles 1700 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2550 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with continuous AC ripple stress.
- Thermal Endurance — Operates from –40°C to 105°C and is endurance‑rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
- Package & Mounting — Radial, can snap‑in package with snap‑in terminals for secure board retention; physical size φ25 × 40 mm and tray packing for production handling.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant for use in assemblies requiring restricted substances conformance.
Typical Applications
- General Purpose Power Supplies — Bulk capacitance and 220 V rating make it suitable for DC smoothing and energy buffering in AC/DC and DC/DC converters.
- Industrial Power Electronics — High ripple current capability and 105°C endurance support continuous operation in industrial controllers and power modules.
- Energy Storage & Filtering — 560 µF capacity and low dissipation factor provide stable filtering for high‑voltage DC buses and decoupling in power systems.
Unique Advantages
- High‑voltage bulk capacitance: 560 µF at 220 V delivers substantial stored energy for smoothing and hold‑up without resorting to parallel arrays.
- Long high‑temperature life: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C to support applications that require sustained elevated temperature reliability.
- Robust ripple handling: 1.7 A at 120 Hz and 2.55 A at 50 kHz ripple ratings enable direct use on power rails with significant AC stress.
- Snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in terminals provide positive mechanical retention for through‑hole assembly and reliable PCB mounting in production environments.
- Predictable loss and leakage: Specified tan δ and leakage current values aid thermal design and standby current budgeting.
- RoHS compliance: Meets restricted substances requirements for regulated markets and assembly flows.
