LGUW6560MELY

The LGUW6560MELY is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series, designed for general‑purpose high‑voltage applications. It provides 56 µF capacitance at a 420 V rating, optimized for 105°C operation and long‑life endurance.

Built for power‑filtering and energy buffering on high‑voltage rails, this polarized, radial can package combines high ripple capability, low loss (tanδ), and controlled leakage to support robust power designs.

Key Features

• Rated Voltage & Capacitance — 56 µF capacitance with a 420 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Terminal & Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can (φ20 × 25L) for secure chassis or board mounting in power assemblies.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Designed for operation from −25°C to +105°C with a guaranteed 3000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance — 510 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 729.3 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support AC ripple handling and smoothing on high‑voltage rails.
• Low Loss and Leakage — Tanδ 0.15 (max) measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for the 160–420 V range, and specified leakage current of 460 µA.
• Reliability & Compliance — Meets LGU series endurance criteria (capacitance within ±20% after endurance test) and is RoHS compliant; supplied in tray packing for production handling.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Filtering — Smoothing and decoupling on high‑voltage DC rails where 420 V rating and substantial ripple handling are required.
• Power Supply Energy Buffering — Bulk capacitance for high‑voltage power supplies and converters needing reliable charge storage at elevated temperatures.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Use in industrial inverter and control equipment that operate near 105°C and demand long endurance under ripple stress.

Unique Advantages

• High‑Voltage Capability: 420 V rating enables use on 315–450 V class rails without up‑rating components.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C with defined post‑test limits for capacitance, tanδ, and leakage.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies support mixed‑frequency power environments.
• Low Dissipation Factor: Tanδ of 0.15 at 120 Hz reduces heating and improves efficiency in high‑voltage circuits.
• Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production status simplify procurement and assembly for volume manufacturing.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction for use in regulated markets.
