LGY2A561MELZ25

The LGY2A561MELZ25 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for demanding industrial power applications. It combines a 560 µF capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage in a radial, can-style snap‑in package.

Engineered for long life at elevated temperatures, this capacitor is specified for 5000 hours of operation under DC bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C, making it suitable for industrial power supplies and ballast circuits where reliability and continuous ripple handling are required. The part is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Snap-in Terminal Type Robust snap‑in terminals simplify board assembly and deliver secure mechanical and electrical connections for high-reliability power systems.
• High Voltage & Capacitance 100 V rated voltage paired with 560 µF capacitance supports bulk energy storage and smoothing in medium‑voltage power rails.
• 105°C Long-Life Assurance Endurance specification: withstands 5000 hours of DC bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range Specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C to cover a broad set of industrial environments.
• Ripple Current Performance Rated ripple currents documented as 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 1.265 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficients for ripple current are provided across 50 Hz to 50 kHz+ to support frequency-dependent sizing.
• Polarized Aluminum Electrolytic Polarized design suitable for DC filtering and bulk decoupling in power supply topologies.
• Compact Radial Can Size dimension L: 2.5 × D: 2.2 cm with radial, snap‑in package for board-mounted power applications.
• RoHS Compliant Manufactured in compliance with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies Bulk smoothing and decoupling for DC rails where sustained ripple and high operating temperature are encountered.
• Ballast Circuits Energy storage and ripple handling in lighting ballast applications noted in the product description.
• General Purpose Power Filtering Bulk capacitance for converters and power modules requiring a polarized, high‑voltage electrolytic solution.

Unique Advantages
