LGY1E682MELZ30

The LGY1E682MELZ30 is a Nichicon LGY-series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 6800 µF and 25 V. It combines high bulk capacitance with a compact radial can (snap‑in terminal) package suited for board‑mounted power applications.

Designed for long life at elevated temperatures, this part is specified for 5000 hours of endurance at 105°C and supports both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple currents, making it appropriate for industrial power supplies, ballast circuits and other general‑purpose power filtering roles.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 6.8 mF (6800 µF) bulk capacitance for energy storage and smoothing in power rails and DC bus applications.
• Rated Voltage: 25 V nominal voltage for moderate-voltage power systems.
• Long‑Life Endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C per LGY-series specification for extended operational lifetime in high-temperature environments.
• Ripple Current Capability: Supports 1.9 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.185 A at high frequency (50 kHz), enabling reliable filtering under ripple-heavy loads.
• Temperature Range: Operational from −40°C to +105°C to accommodate a wide range of industrial ambient conditions.
• Polarized Snap‑In Package: Radial can with snap‑in terminals (φ22 × 30 mm) for secure PCB mounting and mechanical stability in high‑vibration assemblies.
• Leakage Current Specified: Leakage current listed as 1230 µA consistent with the capacitor’s capacitance and voltage rating.
• Manufacturing‑Friendly Packaging: Supplied in tray packing to support automated handling and assembly flows.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant as specified for the LGY series.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk energy storage and smoothing on DC rails where long life at elevated temperature and high ripple tolerance are required.
• Ballast Circuits: Designed for ballast application as noted in the LGY series documentation, providing stable capacitance under continuous ripple stress.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering: Board‑mounted filtering and decoupling in equipment that benefits from high capacitance in a compact radial can.

Unique Advantages

• Extended High‑Temperature Life: 5000 h endurance at 105°C offers predictable aging and reliability in thermally demanding installations.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies reduce thermal stress and support stable operation under dynamic loads.
• Large Bulk in Compact Footprint: 6800 µF in a φ22 × 30 mm can provides significant capacitance without a large PCB area penalty.
• Tray Packing for Production: Tray packaging streamlines automated placement and reduces handling risk during high-volume assembly.
• Clear Electrical Limits: Defined leakage current, tan δ (0.4 at 20°C, 120 Hz for 25 V rating), and ±20% capacitance tolerance allow precise design margining.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to RoHS directive requirements as stated for the LGY series.

Why Choose LGY1E682MELZ30?

The LGY1E682MELZ30 positions itself as a reliable bulk capacitor for engineers who need substantial capacitance, sustained ripple performance and proven long‑life behavior at elevated temperatures. Its snap‑in radial can and tray packing make it practical for board‑level power subsystems in industrial equipment and ballast applications.

This capacitor is well suited for designs that require predictable end‑of‑life behavior and tolerance control (±20%), enabling straightforward integration into power supply and filtering topologies where long term robustness and manufacturability matter.
