LAQ2D152MELC45ZB

The LAQ2D152MELC45ZB is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon's LAQ series. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 200 V rating in a compact snap‑in radial can designed for general‑purpose power applications.

Built for elevated operating temperatures and sustained DC bias plus ripple environments, this component targets designs that require bulk energy storage and ripple handling with long‑term stability up to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated DC voltage, providing substantial bulk energy storage for higher‑voltage power rails.
• High operating temperature — Specified for −25°C to +105°C operation and described as having "105°C permissible abnormal voltage" for robust performance in thermally demanding applications.
• Endurance — Rated endurance: D.C. bias plus rated ripple current applied for 2000 hours at 105°C. After endurance testing, capacitance remains within ±20% of initial value, tan δ is ≤200% of initial specified value, and leakage current stays at or below the initial specified value.
• Ripple current capability — Ripple handling of 3.08 A at 120 Hz and 3.696 A at 100 kHz supports smoothing and filtering under continuous AC ripple conditions.
• Leakage and dissipation — Leakage current specification: I ≤ 3√C μA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ ≤ 0.20 (120 Hz, 20°C), enabling predictable loss and leakage behavior for design margin calculations.
• Mounting and package — Snap‑in radial can package (radial, can - snap‑in) for fast, secure PCB mounting in assemblies requiring robust mechanical retention. Size: L 4.5 × D 3.5 cm for compact board footprint.
• Polarized with standard tolerance — Polarized design with capacitance tolerance −20% to +20% for consistent bulk capacitance expectations in polarized DC circuits.

Typical Applications

• Power supply bulk smoothing — Provides energy storage and ripple suppression on higher‑voltage DC rails where 200 V rating and multi‑amp ripple capability are required.
• Industrial power electronics — Suited to general‑purpose industrial equipment that operates at elevated ambient temperatures and requires long endurance under DC bias and ripple.
• High‑voltage DC filtering — Use in filtering stages of equipment or subsystems that need compact, high‑voltage bulk capacitance with reliable leakage and dissipation characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• High‑temperature durability: Rated to 105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance specification at 105°C, supporting longevity in warm operating environments.
• Strong ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz let designers size capacitors for continuous ripple duties with measurable limits.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Clear leakage current and tan δ specifications (I ≤ 3√C μA; tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz) simplify thermal and loss budgeting.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in can simplifies assembly and provides reliable mechanical retention for higher‑power boards.
• Compact footprint: 4.5 × 3.5 cm dimensions deliver 1.5 mF of capacitance in a smaller‑sized package for space-conscious designs.
• Endurance‑verified stability: Post‑endurance limits (capacitance within ±20%, controlled tan δ and leakage) give designers quantified long‑term behavior under rated stress conditions.
