LGX2H560MELZ25

The LGX2H560MELZ25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGX series. It delivers 56 µF capacitance at 500 V in a compact radial, can‑style snap‑in package designed for high‑temperature, long‑life power applications. Typical use cases include rectifier circuits in inverters and switching power supplies where sustained ripple handling and elevated operating temperature capability are required.

Key Features

• High voltage, compact form: 56 µF rated at 500 V in a radial snap‑in can (L: 2.5 × D: 2.2 cm) for space‑efficient power designs.
• 105°C long‑life assurance: Designed to withstand 5000 hours of DC bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C (endurance criteria defined in the LGX series).
• Ripple current capability: Rated ripple current of 560 mA at 120 Hz and 800.8 mA at 50 kHz to support rectifier and smoothing duties in power conversion circuits.
• Wide operating temperature: Specified for −25°C to +105°C operation to cover elevated ambient and thermal stress conditions.
• Polarized design with standard tolerance: Polarized electrolytic capacitor with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (±20%).
• Leakage and dissipation specifications: Leakage current specified by I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max 0.20 for 450–500 V range (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• RoHS compliant and marked for identification: Compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) and printed with white lettering on a black sleeve for clear part identification.

Typical Applications

• Power inverters: Used in rectifier and smoothing stages of general inverter circuits to manage DC bus filtering under high voltage and temperature stress.
• Switching power supplies: Provides bulk and smoothing capacitance for high‑voltage power supplies, supporting sustained ripple currents and long life at elevated temperatures.
• Industrial power electronics: Suitable for general purpose power conversion assemblies where long endurance at 105°C and reliable ripple handling are required.

Unique Advantages

• Long operational life at elevated temperature: Endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias supports longer service intervals in demanding power systems.
• Compact, serviceable snap‑in package: Radial snap‑in can delivers high voltage capability in a smaller footprint for tighter power supply layouts.
• Measured ripple performance: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow engineers to size capacitors based on real application ripple frequency conditions.
• Clear acceptance criteria: Endurance and shelf‑life limits (capacitance, tan δ, leakage) are defined to help validate life testing and replacement intervals.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance ensures conformity with common environmental requirements for supply chain acceptance.
