LAQ2G151MELA35

The LAQ2G151MELA35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LAQ series, rated 150 µF at 400 V with a ±20% tolerance. Designed for general‑purpose power applications, this radial can snap‑in package provides high ripple handling and extended endurance for equipment operating across a wide temperature range.

Key value propositions include high voltage capability, robust ripple current performance at both low and high frequencies, and a 2000‑hour endurance rating at +105°C for demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at a rated voltage of 400 V, suitable where elevated DC bus voltages are present.
• Snap‑In Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction (φ25 × 35 mm / L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm) for secure mounting in power assemblies and chassis installations.
• Ripple Current Performance — 850 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 977.5 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), supporting AC ripple smoothing and bulk energy decoupling in power circuits.
• Operating Temperature & Endurance — Rated for −25°C to +105°C with a lifetime of 2000 hours at +105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance change remains within ±20% after the endurance test.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Specified leakage current of 730 µA; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable dissipation behavior.
• Safety Features — Pressure relief vent designed to operate under abnormal conditions to prevent dangerous outcomes, consistent with series safety performance descriptions.
• Packaging — Supplied in tray packing for mass production handling and assembly.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Equipment — Bulk smoothing and DC link use in power supplies and industrial power assemblies where 400 V rating and high ripple capability are required.
• Power Conversion Modules — Energy buffering and ripple reduction in rectifier/filter stages and other power conversion circuits that benefit from snap‑in mounting.
• Industrial Electronics — Reliable decoupling and energy storage in control equipment and other general‑purpose industrial systems operating up to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High‑Voltage Capacity: 400 V rating enables use on elevated DC buses without series stacking, simplifying design.
• Dual‑Frequency Ripple Rating: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide verifiable performance across typical power and switching frequencies.
• Extended High‑Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at +105°C under rated conditions preserves capacitance and leakage characteristics for long service life in hot environments.
• Robust Mechanical Mounting: Snap‑in radial can eases installation in power frames and chassis, reducing assembly time for mass production.
• Predictable Electrical Losses: tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz gives designers clear expectations for ESR and dissipation behavior.
• Safety‑Oriented Design: Pressure relief vent minimizes risk under abnormal voltage/current stress, supporting safer system operation.
