LHT2W561MELC50

The LHT2W561MELC50 is a Nichicon LHT series aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a snap‑in terminal radial can package. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 450 V rated voltage and is designed for general‑purpose applications that require high voltage handling and extended temperature operation.

With a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C and a specified 3000‑hour endurance at 125°C, this capacitor is suited for equipment designs that must maintain capacitance and leakage characteristics under elevated temperature stress while offering secure snap‑in mounting.

Key Features

• High Voltage Rating — 450 V rated voltage suitable for high‑voltage DC applications where elevated working voltage is required.
• Large Capacitance — 560 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Wide Temperature Range — Guaranteed operation from −40°C to +125°C to support designs exposed to broad environmental conditions.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting for secure board installation and mechanical retention in through‑hole assemblies.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple handling of 2.13 A at 120 Hz (125°C) and specified high‑frequency ripple (3.046 A at 50 kHz) to support power‑side ripple demands.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Endurance specification of 3000 hours at 125°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current to maintain performance in high‑temperature duty cycles.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk capacitance and high voltage rating support smoothing and energy storage in power conversion circuits.
• Equipment Operating in Wide Temperatures — Maintains capacitance and leakage characteristics across −40°C to +125°C, suitable where thermal robustness is required.
• Through‑Hole Mounting Designs — Snap‑in radial can package for secure mechanical mounting in panel or chassis‑mounted power assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage capability: 450 V rating enables use in higher DC rail applications without series stacking.
• Robust thermal endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C endurance offers predictable long‑term performance under continuous high‑temperature operation.
• Effective ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 2.13 A (120 Hz) and 3.046 A (50 kHz) help manage AC ripple and extend service life in power systems.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in terminals provide reliable mechanical retention for demanding assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements for commercial and industrial equipment.
