LGY2A681MELZ30

The LGY2A681MELZ30 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LGY series designed for long-life, high-temperature operation. It delivers 680 µF at 100 V in a φ22 × 30 mm can and is supplied in tray packing for mass production.

Targeted at industrial power applications and ballast equipment, this part provides extended endurance under ripple and elevated ambient temperatures, alongside RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 680 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High‑Temperature Long Life: Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C with rated DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Operating Temperature Range: −40°C to +105°C for a wide thermal operating window.
• Snap‑in Terminal Package: Radial, can-type snap-in mounting for PCB insertion and secure mechanical retention.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple current 1.2 A at 120 Hz and 1.38 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficients for rated ripple current rise to 1.15 at 1 kHz and above (series data).
• Leakage and Loss Specifications: Leakage current limited by the series specification I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) limits are specified per rated voltage in the series datasheet.
• Regulatory Compliance: Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies: Bulk filtering and ripple smoothing where sustained high-temperature operation and long endurance are required.
• Ballast equipment: Designed for use in ballast applications as indicated in the LGY series documentation.
• General-purpose high-voltage circuits: Applications that require 100 V rated capacitance in a snap-in radial can package for production assembly.

Unique Advantages

• Extended operational life at 105°C: 5000-hour endurance rating supports designs expecting continuous high-temperature stress.
• High voltage capability: 100 V rating enables use on higher DC rails without series stacking.
• Factory-friendly packaging: Tray packing and snap-in terminals suit high-volume assembly workflows.
• Defined ripple performance across frequency: Published ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 50 kHz plus frequency coefficients help predict behavior across operating spectra.
• Clear electrical limits: Leakage current and tan δ are specified in the series datasheet for predictable circuit design and validation.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.
