Overview of LGX2G561MELC40 – 560 µF, 400 V Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGX2G561MELC40 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for long life under elevated temperature conditions. It provides 560 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating in a compact radial, can snap‑in package and is designed for power conversion roles such as rectifier circuits in general inverters and switching power supplies.
Designed for sustained operation at high temperature, this part withstands rated ripple current for 5000 hours at 105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for industrial and general‑purpose power electronics requiring durable bulk capacitance.
Key Features
- Rated Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage for high‑voltage DC bus and energy storage applications.
- Long‑Life High‑Temperature Performance — Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C with rated ripple current applied, supporting extended operation in hot operating environments.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple handling of 1.9 A at 120 Hz and 2.717 A at 50 kHz to support rectifier and switching workloads.
- Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package for secure board mounting and reliable power connections in assemblies.
- Operating Range & Tolerance — Polarized device with operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable system behavior.
- Environmental Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Switching Power Supplies — Bulk DC filtering and energy storage to smooth output and absorb ripple in switch‑mode designs.
- Inverter Rectifier Circuits — DC bus smoothing and ripple attenuation for general inverter front‑end rectifiers.
- General Purpose Power Electronics — Where compact, long‑life bulk capacitance is required in industrial or commercial power systems.
Unique Advantages
- Extended High‑Temperature Endurance: 5000‑hour rated life at 105°C under rated ripple current prolongs service intervals and supports reliable operation in hot enclosures.
- High Voltage Capability: 400 V rating enables use on elevated DC buses without compromising capacitance performance.
- Robust Ripple Performance: Measured ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (1.9 A @120 Hz, 2.717 A @50 kHz) help reduce thermal stress and improve system stability.
- Secure Snap‑In Mounting: Radial, can snap‑in package simplifies assembly for power modules and reduces risk of terminal fatigue in vibration environments.
- RoHS‑Compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious designs and global market acceptance.
