LLG2E561MELZ40

The LLG2E561MELZ40 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from the Nichicon LLG series, designed for general-purpose power applications. It combines a 560 µF capacitance with a 250 V rating in a compact, radial can snap-in package suited for equipment downsizing.

Key value comes from its compact case (one rank smaller than LLS), snap-in mounting, RoHS compliance, and specifications tailored for power filtering and bulk energy storage in medium-voltage circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated at 560 µF and 250 V to support bulk smoothing and energy storage in medium-voltage power circuits.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable design margins.
• Mounting & Package — Radial, can-style snap-in package for secure PCB attachment and straightforward assembly in through-hole designs.
• Compact Footprint — Physical size L: 4 × D: 2.2 cm and one rank smaller case than LLS, making it suitable for equipment down sizing where board space is constrained.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C when stressed with DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — 2.25 A at 120 Hz and 3.375 A at 100 kHz to support smoothing of AC-DC conversion and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Polarized Design — Polarized electrical configuration appropriate for DC power filtering and bulk capacitance applications.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing — Bulk filtering and energy storage for medium-voltage power supplies and converters to stabilize DC rails.
• Industrial power electronics — Use in equipment where compact, high-capacitance components are required for downsized power assemblies.
• Consumer and commercial electronics — General-purpose DC filtering in devices that require a combination of capacitance and voltage handling in a snap-in format.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving form factor — One rank smaller case than the LLS series enables more compact board layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
• High-voltage capability — 250 V rating supports medium-voltage circuits requiring reliable DC energy storage.
• Robust ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequency (2.25 A at 120 Hz, 3.375 A at 100 kHz) help maintain performance under real-world load conditions.
• Durability at elevated temperature — 2000-hour endurance at 85°C ensures stable capacitance, loss tangent, and leakage current after extended stress.
• Secure mechanical mounting — Snap-in terminals provide reliable retention for through-hole assemblies and reduce mechanical stress on solder joints.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction supports environmentally conscious product designs.
