LAQ2P151MELZ25

The LAQ2P151MELZ25 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LAQ series. It is a snap‑in terminal radial can designed for general‑purpose electronic applications requiring 150 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating.

This part delivers measurable ripple handling (650 mA at 120 Hz; 780 mA at 10 kHz), low leakage current and a robust endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for equipment designs that require sustained performance across a broad temperature range.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance and Tolerance — 150 µF with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), providing predictable bulk capacitance for design calculations.
• Voltage Rating — 220 V DC rated voltage for higher‑voltage general‑purpose applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — 650 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 780 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support AC ripple conditions within the specified limits.
• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of approximately 540 µA, supporting low‑loss applications after voltage application.
• Endurance and Reliability — 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated voltage plus rated ripple current, with capacitance and leakage maintained within stated limits after test.
• Operating Temperature Range — −25°C to +105°C to accommodate a wide range of thermal environments.
• Package and Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ22 × 25 mm) for secure chassis or PCB mounting in assemblies that accept snap‑in components.
• Series Characteristics — Part of the LAQ series, which covers a broad capacitance range (per series data) for scalable design choices.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for reduced restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance for designs that specify a 150 µF, 220 V electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple and endurance performance.
• Chassis or assembly installations — Snap‑in radial can format (φ22 × 25 mm) simplifies mechanical mounting in assemblies that accept snap‑in components.
• High‑temperature operating environments — With a −25°C to +105°C operating range and 2000 h endurance at 105°C, suitable where extended elevated‑temperature performance is required.

Unique Advantages

• Measured ripple handling: Dual ripple ratings (650 mA at 120 Hz, 780 mA at 10 kHz) let designers assess performance across low and high frequency ripple conditions.
• Durability at elevated temperature: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated stress demonstrates sustained capacitance and controlled leakage over time.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ22 × 25 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals provides a space‑efficient solution for assemblies requiring secure mounting.
• Low leakage characteristic: Specified leakage (~540 µA) helps minimize standby losses after voltage application.
• RoHS compliance: Meets restricted substance requirements for designs targeting RoHS conformity.
• Series scalability: As a member of the LAQ series, adjacent sizes and capacitance values are available for design flexibility within the same product family.
