LHX2W561MELC50

The LHX2W561MELC50 is a Nichicon LHX series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can package. It provides 560 µF capacitance at a 450 V rating with snap‑in terminals for secure chassis or board mounting.

Designed as a long‑life member of the LHT/LHX family, this part targets general‑purpose equipment that requires high temperature support and reliable high‑voltage energy storage. It is RoHS compliant and specified for continuous operation up to 125°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance at a 450 V rated voltage, suitable for high‑voltage DC link and filtering applications requiring substantial bulk capacitance.
• High‑Temperature Long Life — Rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C with a specified long‑life endurance of 5000 hours at 125°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Snap‑In Radial Can — Snap‑in mounting style and radial can package (35 × 50 mm) for robust mechanical retention in power assemblies.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.13 A at 120 Hz (125°C); frequency coefficient yields approximately 3.046 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective handling of AC ripple across a wide frequency range.
• Electrical Reliability — Leakage current specification follows I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Stability at Low Temperature — Impedance ratio Z(–25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 8 (120 Hz), supporting operation across the stated temperature range.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑voltage power filtering — Bulk energy storage and smoothing where 450 V rating and 560 µF capacitance are required for stable DC link performance.
• Industrial power equipment — Use in equipment that demands sustained operation at elevated temperatures (up to 125°C) and predictable long‑term endurance.
• Power conversion modules — AC ripple handling and DC bus support, leveraging the component’s ripple current capability across low and high frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• High‑temperature endurance: 5000 hours specified at 125°C under rated conditions, providing confidence in long‑term operation in hot environments.
• Robust ripple performance: Rated 2.13 A at 120 Hz with documented frequency coefficients that translate to ~3.046 A at 50 kHz, enabling designers to size for real‑world ripple spectra.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Snap‑in terminals and radial can construction deliver mechanical stability for assemblies with vibration or thermal cycling.
• Clear electrical limits: Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA and tan δ ≤ 0.20, making it straightforward to budget losses and insulation behavior in designs.
• Wide operating range: –40°C to +125°C operating range supports deployment across diverse environmental conditions.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmental and regulatory adherence.
