LGX2E561MELA35

The LGX2E561MELA35 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGX series featuring a snap-in terminal radial can package. It provides 560 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating and is designed for general-purpose power applications such as rectifier circuits in inverters and switching power supplies.

Engineered for elevated-temperature operation, the LGX2E561MELA35 is specified for operation from -25°C to +105°C and is rated for 5000 hours of endurance at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, offering a compact footprint for high-voltage power designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 560 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk filtering and energy storage in high-voltage sections.
• Long-life Endurance: Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C when D.C. bias plus rated ripple current is applied, with capacitance and leakage requirements defined after recovery to 20°C.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operating temperature range from -25°C to +105°C to support elevated-temperature system environments.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package: Snap-in terminal (radial, can - snap-in) mounting for secure board retention and straightforward insertion in power assemblies.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple currents of 1.78 A at 120 Hz and 2.67 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective ripple handling in rectifier and switching applications.
• Compact Size: Smaller-sized footprint with dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm to minimize board area in power modules and assemblies.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies: Bulk smoothing and filtering in switching power supplies where 250 V rating and ripple handling are required.
• Inverters and Rectifier Circuits: Energy storage and ripple suppression in rectifier stages of general inverters and related power conversion equipment.
• General-Purpose Power Electronics: Use in industrial and commercial power modules that require a compact, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor with extended high-temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Defined High-Temperature Life: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C provides a clear, verifiable reliability metric for thermal-stressed designs.
• High-Voltage, High-Capacitance Balance: 560 µF at 250 V delivers substantial energy storage in a smaller footprint for high-voltage sections.
• Practical Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies help designers assess thermal and lifetime performance under expected operating conditions.
• Secure Snap-In Mounting: Radial snap-in terminals simplify assembly and improve mechanical retention in power assemblies.
• Compact Footprint: 3.5 × 2.5 cm size reduces board area compared with larger high-voltage capacitors, aiding denser power module layouts.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial equipment.
