LAQ2G151MELB25

The LAQ2G151MELB25 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal package, designed for general-purpose power applications that require a compact, high-voltage electrolytic solution. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating and is part of Nichicon’s LAQ series engineered for smaller case sizes and enhanced ripple capability.

Built for elevated-temperature operation and abnormal-voltage resilience, this component is suited to equipment exposed to voltage fluctuations and demanding thermal environments up to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 150 µF capacitance rated at 400 V for high-voltage DC applications.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated operating temperature range of -25°C to +105°C with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability: Specified ripple current performance of 850 mA at 120 Hz and 977.5 mA at 10 kHz for effective smoothing under load.
• Snap-in Mounting & Package: Snap-in terminal type in a radial can package for secure PCB retention and robust mechanical connection.
• Safety Features for Abnormal Voltage: Designed with improved safety features including a pressure relief vent intended to operate without flames or dispersion of case pieces under abnormal conditions.
• Polarization & Tolerance: Polarized capacitor with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (−20% to +20%).
• RoHS Compliance: The LAQ series is compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), as indicated in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies: Filtering and smoothing in high-voltage power supplies where 400 V rating and ripple handling are required.
• Voltage-Fluctuating Equipment: Systems operating in environments with variable supply voltage—designed for improved safety and stability under abnormal voltage conditions.
• Industrial Power Electronics: General-purpose industrial circuits that need compact, high-voltage capacitors with elevated temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-voltage solution: Smaller-sized LAQ series construction lets designers implement 400 V capacitance without large case footprints.
• High-temperature reliability: Endurance rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, supporting sustained performance in hot operating environments.
• Robust ripple performance: Measured ripple current specifications at both low and high frequencies help ensure effective smoothing across typical power-conversion waveforms.
• Snap-in package for secure installation: Snap-in terminals provide strong mechanical retention and ease of assembly in through-hole boards.
• Enhanced safety under abnormal voltage: Pressure relief vent and safety performance testing reduce the risk of dangerous failure modes during excessive voltage events.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports use in regions requiring restricted substance adherence.
