LGY1H562MELZ50

The LGY1H562MELZ50 is a Nichicon LGY‑series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial snap‑in can designed for industrial power applications. It provides 5.6 mF capacitance at a 50 V rating with polarized terminals and a snap‑in mounting style for secure board retention.

Engineered for long life under elevated temperature and ripple stress, this part withstands 5000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for power supply filtering, ballast circuits, and other general‑purpose industrial power conditioning tasks.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 5.6 mF rated at 50 V, with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package: Radial, can – snap‑in construction for robust mechanical retention and straightforward assembly in power assemblies.
• 105°C Long‑Life Endurance: Designed to meet endurance requirements after 5000 hours of DC bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C; capacitance change within ±25%, tan δ ≤ 250% of initial, and leakage current not exceeding the initial specified value.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current 2.3 A at 120 Hz and 2.645 A at 50 kHz, with a frequency coefficient that reaches 1.15 at 1 kHz and above to reflect higher allowable ripple at higher frequencies.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Operating range from −40°C to +105°C for use in demanding thermal environments.
• Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√(CV) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C, providing a clear, measurable leakage limit.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint: Physical dimensions approximately L: 5 cm × D: 2.2 cm for space‑conscious power designs.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk filtering and energy smoothing where long‑term ripple endurance at elevated temperature is required.
• Ballast Circuits: Designed for use in ballast applications that demand stable capacitance and reliable ripple handling over extended service life.
• General‑Purpose Power Conditioning: Filtering and decoupling in industrial equipment and power modules that benefit from snap‑in mounting and high temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Long life under stress: 5000‑hour endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current reduces replacement frequency and supports longer maintenance intervals.
• High ripple tolerance: Explicit ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 50 kHz, plus a frequency coefficient up to 1.15, enable confident design margining for a range of switching frequencies.
• Clear leakage limits: Leakage current specified by a deterministic formula (I ≤ 3√CV μA) for predictable performance verification.
• Robust mounting: Snap‑in radial can simplifies PCB retention in power assemblies compared with loose‑lead alternatives.
• RoHS compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for lead‑restricted designs.
