LGY1J682MELC40

The LGY1J682MELC40 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGY series. It provides 6800 µF of capacitance at a 63 V rating in a radial, can-type snap-in package sized 35 mm × 40 mm and is supplied in tray packing for mass production.

Engineered for long-life operation, this capacitor is specified for continuous performance up to 105°C with a 5000-hour endurance rating, making it appropriate for industrial power supplies, ballast applications, and other general-purpose bulk energy storage roles where durability and reliable ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6800 µF (6.8 mF) rated at 63 V with ±20% tolerance.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from –40°C to +105°C with 5000 hours life at 105°C under rated ripple conditions (LGY series long-life assurance).
• High Ripple Current Capability — 3.1 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.565 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support AC ripple on DC rails.
• Dissipation & Loss — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.25 maximum at 63 V (measurement: 120 Hz, 20°C), supporting predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1960 µA.
• Package & Termination — Radial, can-type snap-in terminals for secure mounting; physical size approximately 35 mm diameter × 40 mm length; tray packing for production runs.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing where 6800 µF at 63 V and high ripple capability are required to maintain stable DC output under load.
• Ballasts — Suited for ballast applications that demand long-life performance at elevated temperatures.
• General-Purpose Bulk Storage — Polarized energy storage for equipment needing durable, high-capacitance components with defined endurance characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• High-capacitance in a compact can — 6800 µF at 63 V delivers substantial bulk energy storage in a 35 × 40 mm package.
• Long-life assurance — 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable aging and lifecycle planning for industrial designs.
• Robust ripple handling — Distinct low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (3.1 A @120 Hz / 3.565 A @50 kHz) address a range of switching and line-frequency conditions.
• Measured dissipation and leakage specs — Tan δ 0.25 (63 V) and a specified leakage current (1960 µA) enable accurate thermal and leakage budgeting in the system design.
• Production-ready packaging — Tray packing and mass production status streamline procurement and assembly for volume manufacturing.
