LAR2D152MELB40

The LAR2D152MELB40 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance at a 200 V rating and is specified for continuous operation in environments up to 105°C.

Engineered for durability under elevated temperature and ripple conditions, this Nichicon LAR series part offers extended endurance and controlled behavior under overvoltage stress, making it suitable where robust bulk capacitance and reliable mounting are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance at a 200 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance.
• High‑Temperature Operation & Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C and guaranteed to withstand 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C.
• Snap‑in Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal type in a radial can package for secure PCB mounting and mechanical stability.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.8 A at 120 Hz and 4.2 A at 50 kHz, supporting significant AC stress on DC rails.
• Overvoltage Safety Performance — Designed to reduce short incidence when exposed to 1.5× rated voltage; safety testing shows more than 60% passing under 1.5× overvoltage with limited current (1 A) per series performance data.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Leakage and Stability Characteristics — Leakage current and impedance characteristics specified for reliable performance after standard voltage application and endurance testing.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk energy storage and ripple smoothing on 200 V rails where high capacitance and elevated temperature endurance are required.
• High‑Temperature Environments — Electronics and equipment that operate at elevated ambient temperatures up to 105°C, benefiting from the 2000‑hour ripple endurance specification.
• Secure PCB Mounting Designs — Systems that require snap‑in radial can capacitors for robust mechanical retention and straightforward assembly.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Endurance at 105°C — 2000 hour rated ripple endurance ensures predictable aging and electrical stability in high‑temperature installations.
• High Stored Energy Density — 1500 µF at 200 V provides substantial bulk capacitance for smoothing and decoupling in mid‑voltage power rails.
• Frequency‑responsive Ripple Performance — Ripple current ratings provided at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz let designers size for low‑ and high‑frequency stress conditions.
• Overvoltage Mitigation — Series design reduces incidence of shorting under 1.5× rated voltage stress and includes safety performance characterization under limited current conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS conformity supports environmental compliance requirements for modern equipment designs.
