LGY1H682MELC30

The LGY1H682MELC30 is a snap-in terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGY series designed for long-life, high-reliability power applications. It delivers 6.8 mF capacitance at 50 V with polarized construction and a snap-in radial can package suited to robust power assemblies.

Engineered for industrial power supplies and ballast applications, this part provides a long life assurance of 5000 hours under rated ripple current at 105°C and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6.8 mF capacitance rated at 50 V, with a tolerance of ±20% for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• Long-life Endurance — Endurance specification: withstands 5000 hours of D.C. bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C; after test, capacitance change is within ±25%, tan δ ≤ 250% of initial, and leakage current remains within initial limits.
• High Temperature Range — Operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C, enabling use in elevated-temperature power environments.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.5 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.875 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting active filtering and bulk decoupling where ripple dissipation is required.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can package designed for board-mounted power assemblies and simplified insertion during assembly.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting common environmental directive requirements.
• Polarized Design — Polarized electrolytic construction for DC bulk storage and power supply smoothing applications.
• Physical Size — Compact can dimensions: L: 3 × D: 3.5 cm, supporting high-density power board layouts.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and ripple suppression in industrial supply rails where 50 V ratings and long-life operation at elevated temperature are required.
• Ballast Applications — Designed specifically to suit ballast circuits that require dependable capacitor performance over extended operating periods.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Decoupling and bulk energy storage in power converters and assemblies that benefit from snap-in mounting and high ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• Longevity under Stress — 5000-hour endurance at 105°C with rated ripple current provides predictable life characteristics for maintenance planning and reliability targets.
• Robust Ripple Handling — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies allow designers to size the capacitor to actual ripple conditions and frequency-dependent requirements.
• Compact Snap-in Packaging — Radial, snap-in can simplifies placement in power assemblies and supports secure mechanical retention on the PCB.
• Wide Operating Range — −40°C to +105°C operating range enables use across varied industrial thermal environments.
• Standards-compliant — RoHS compliance supports regulatory and environmental procurement criteria without additional component qualification.
