LGN2W560MELY25 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LGN2W560MELY25 is a 56 µF, 450 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Nichicon in the LGN series. This radial, can-style snap-in capacitor is rated for 3000 hours at 105°C and operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 105°C. The part is Active in product status and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or design flexibility permits selection from qualified alternatives meeting the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LGN2W560MELY25 are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical capacitance value: 56 µF
• Identical voltage rating: 450 V
• Identical tolerance: ±20%
• Identical lifetime specification: 3000 Hrs @ 105°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 105°C
• Identical polarization: Polar
• Identical package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm)
• ROHS3 compliance maintained

Variations in physical dimensions (diameter and height), ripple current ratings, and ESR values are permitted within the scope of snap-in can design tolerances and do not affect functional substitution in general-purpose applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—LGN2W560MELY25, LGU2W560MELY, and 381LR560M450H012—meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution in general-purpose applications. Selection among these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Physical space constraints within the enclosure (dimensional variations noted in height and diameter)
• Ripple current performance requirements in the application circuit
• Preferred supplier or inventory management policies

All parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term supply viability and regulatory conformance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGU2W560MELY replace LGN2W560MELY25 directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (56 µF, 450 V, ±20%, 3000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mounting characteristics (through-hole, snap-in, 10.00 mm lead spacing). The LGU2W560MELY is slightly taller (30.00 mm vs. 27.00 mm) and offers higher ripple current capability (510 mA @ 120 Hz vs. 440 mA @ 120 Hz). Verify available board space before substitution.

Q: Can 381LR560M450H012 from Cornell Dubilier replace the Nichicon LGN2W560MELY25?

A: Yes. The 381LR560M450H012 meets all core electrical requirements and operates within the same temperature range. Physical dimensions differ: the CDE part is 22.00 mm in diameter (vs. 20.00 mm) and 25.00 mm in height (vs. 27.00 mm). The CDE part provides higher ripple current (670 mA @ 120 Hz) and specified ESR (4.65 Ohm @ 120 Hz). Confirm PCB layout compatibility before substitution.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Capacitance (56 µF), voltage rating (450 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 105°C), polarization (polar), package type (radial snap-in), and lead spacing (10.00 mm) must remain constant. Variations in physical dimensions, ripple current, and ESR are acceptable within snap-in can design standards.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No regulatory barriers exist to substitution.

Q: Which part should I select if ripple current performance is critical?

A: The 381LR560M450H012 provides the highest ripple current rating (670 mA @ 120 Hz), followed by LGU2W560MELY (510 mA @ 120 Hz), and LGN2W560MELY25 (440 mA @ 120 Hz). Select based on circuit ripple current requirements.
