Designed for use in industrial power supplies and ballast circuits, this radial can capacitor combines high-temperature endurance with a snap-in package for secure board mounting and repeatable assembly.

Key Features

• Snap-in terminal construction — Radial, can-style snap-in package for secure mechanical retention and easy PCB mounting in power assemblies.
• Capacitance & voltage — 5.6 mF nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage; polarization is specified.
• Long-life endurance — Rated to withstand 5000 hours of ripple current at 105°C, with post-test limits defined for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current.
• Operating temperature range — Specified from –40°C to +105°C, suitable for elevated-temperature industrial environments.
• Ripple current capability — Specified ripple currents include 1.8 A at 120 Hz and 2.07 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficients in the LGY series support higher-frequency ripple handling.
• Package dimensions — Size: L: 3 × D: 2.2 cm, with a maximum seated height of 1.181 inch for board-fit planning.
• Tolerance & leakage — Capacitance tolerance is –20% to +20% and leakage current limits follow the LGY series specification of I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after rated voltage application.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant in accordance with the directive included in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in industrial PSU designs where high-temperature endurance and ripple handling are required.
• Ballast circuits — Suitable for ballast applications referenced in the LGY series datasheet, providing long-term stability under ripple stress.
• General-purpose industrial equipment — General-purpose decoupling and filtering in industrial control and power-conditioning assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Proven long-life performance: Endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105°C ties reliability to measured post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage current.
• High ripple handling across frequencies: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz and series frequency coefficients support mixed-frequency power environments.
• Wide temperature operation: –40°C to +105°C rating enables deployment in elevated-temperature industrial locations without derating outside the specification.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Radial snap-in terminals provide robust mechanical retention for high-vibration or large-current board layouts.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports use in assemblies that require lead-free materials and regulatory conformity.
• Consistent post-storage recovery: Shelf-life and recovery provisions in the LGY series datasheet specify return-to-spec performance after high-temperature storage and voltage treatment.
