LAQ2P151MELA20ZB

The LAQ2P151MELA20ZB is a Nichicon LAQ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal radial can. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 220 V rated voltage, designed for general-purpose electronic applications that require a compact, board-mounted energy storage component.

With defined ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, low leakage current, and a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C, this snap‑in capacitor is specified to deliver reliable performance in environments that demand sustained DC bias and ripple handling.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 220 V for general-purpose DC energy storage and filtering.
• Ripple Current (Low & High Frequency) — 650 mA at 120 Hz and 780 mA at 10 kHz, providing defined ripple handling across low and high frequency conditions.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Specified for 2000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of −25°C to +105°C, supporting extended high‑temperature operation.
• Low Leakage — Leakage current specified at 0.54 mA, limiting self‑discharge under rated voltage.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package in a compact φ25 × 20 mm (D × L) size for secure board mounting and automated assembly (tray packing).
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance of ±20% and polarized construction for DC circuit applications.
• Safety Design — Series safety performance includes a pressure relief vent to mitigate dangerous failure modes under abnormal conditions.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems — Intended for general-purpose circuits requiring a 220 V, 150 µF snap‑in capacitor with specified ripple current capability and endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Board-level snap‑in mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 20 mm) simplifies secure PCB installation in assemblies designed for snap‑in components.
• High-temperature endurance scenarios — 2000 hours at 105°C rating supports use where extended life under sustained elevated temperature is required.

Unique Advantages

• Defined ripple performance: Dual ripple ratings (650 mA at 120 Hz, 780 mA at 10 kHz) let engineers size the capacitor to expected ripple environments with quantifiable limits.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 2000 h endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for thermal stress conditions.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ25 × 20 mm can and snap‑in terminals balance board space and mechanical retention for easier assembly.
• Low leakage current: 0.54 mA specified leakage reduces parasitic discharge and helps maintain DC circuit stability.
• Polarized, general‑purpose design: Straightforward integration into DC systems where a polarized electrolytic capacitor is required.
• Mass production packing: Tray packing supports automated handling and production-scale assembly processes.
