LAQ2D152MELC45

The LAQ2D152MELC45 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LAQ series. It delivers 1500 µF capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, designed for general‑purpose power applications that require high capacitance and elevated voltage handling.

With a rated temperature range of −25°C to +105°C and a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C, this part is targeted at industrial and power electronics designs that need reliable bulk energy storage, smoothing and ripple handling in 200 V class systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Rated Voltage & Polarization — 200 V rated voltage; polarized construction suitable for DC applications.
• Ripple Current Handling — Supports 3.08 A ripple at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.696 A at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective ripple dissipation in power circuits.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1640 µA after rated voltage application, suitable for typical power supply designs requiring predictable leakage behavior.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — 2000 hours life at 105°C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple current, providing stability for elevated‑temperature applications.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap‑in terminals for secure PCB mounting and straightforward assembly; supplied in tray packing for mass production.
• Compact Size — Dimension approximately φ35 × 45 mm (L: 4.5 × D: 3.5 cm), balancing high capacitance with compact footprint for space‑constrained boards.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Bulk Smoothing — Use as main reservoir capacitance in 200 V DC rails to stabilize bus voltage and reduce low‑frequency ripple thanks to its 1500 µF capacitance and 200 V rating.
• DC Link and Power Electronics — Suitable for high‑voltage DC link filtering where sustained ripple current and endurance at 105°C are required.
• Industrial Equipment — General‑purpose energy storage and decoupling in industrial control and power conversion equipment that operate within the −25°C to +105°C range.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance at 200 V: 1500 µF combined with a 200 V rating provides substantial stored energy for smoothing and transient support in medium‑voltage designs.
• Designed for Ripple Duty: Rated ripple currents of 3.08 A (120 Hz) and 3.696 A (10 kHz) let designers size capacitors for both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple performance.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated conditions gives predictable aging and long service life in hot operating environments.
• Snap‑in Mounting for Robust Assembly: Radial snap‑in terminals simplify PCB retention and are compatible with automated assembly and production workflows.
• Tray Packing for Volume Production: Supplied in tray packing to support consistent handling and throughput in mass production lines.
