LGU2W560MELY

The LGU2W560MELY is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series, designed for general‑purpose power applications. It provides 56 µF capacitance at a 450 V rating with a snap‑in radial can package and tray packing for production handling.

Key value propositions include high‑voltage capability, a 105°C endurance specification, and performance parameters tailored for ripple‑current applications across low and high frequencies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 56 µF nominal capacitance with a 450 V rated voltage, suitable for high‑voltage energy storage and decoupling in general‑purpose designs.
• Electrical Performance: Capacitance tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%) and a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable AC loss behavior.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 510 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 729.3 mA at 50 kHz, supporting AC superposition requirements in power circuits.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 470 µA for initial insulation characteristics after voltage application.
• Temperature & Endurance: Operates from –25°C to +105°C with endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple/voltage conditions as defined for the LGU series.
• Package & Mounting: Snap‑in radial can (φ20 × 30 mm length) for robust board retention in high‑current or vibration‑prone assemblies; supplied in tray packing for automated handling.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant in accordance with the LGU series statement of directive compliance.
• Production Status: Mass production availability for volume designs.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power electronics: High‑voltage smoothing and bulk energy storage in general‑purpose power supplies and converters where a 450 V rating is required.
• Industrial equipment: Filtering and ripple handling in industrial control power stages that require 105°C endurance and sustained ripple capability.
• Power conversion modules: DC link decoupling and energy buffering in medium‑voltage converter modules that use snap‑in capacitors for secure mounting and ease of assembly.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 450 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage power circuits without series stacking.
• Validated endurance at elevated temperature: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple demonstrates designed stability for thermal and electrical stress conditions.
• Broad ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz provide clear guidance for low‑ and high‑frequency applications.
• Robust mounting form factor: Snap‑in radial can (φ20 × 30 mm) offers mechanical retention and streamlined assembly for power electronics boards.
• Production‑ready supply: Tray packing and mass‑production status simplify procurement and automated placement workflows.
