LAR2D152MELC35

The LAR2D152MELC35 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance at a 200 V rating. It is a radial, can‑style, polarized capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications where high capacitance, elevated temperature endurance and robust ripple handling are required.

Key value propositions include a 105 °C permissible operating capability with verified endurance under rated ripple current for 2000 hours, snap‑in mounting for secure mechanical retention, and design features that reduce short incidence under overvoltage conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated capacitance: 1.5 mF (1500 µF) with a nominal voltage rating of 200 V and tolerance of ±20%.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified operating temperature range of −40 °C to +105 °C and proven to withstand 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C.
• Snap‑In Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package for secure board mounting and simplified assembly.
• Robust Ripple Performance — Rated ripple current: 2.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.2 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), with published frequency coefficients for higher frequencies.
• Overvoltage Safety Considerations — Designed to reduce short incidence when exposed to overvoltage conditions (rated voltage × 1.5); safety performance testing shows pass behavior under limited overvoltage stress.
• Leakage & Dissipation Characteristics — Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified for the rated voltage range.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing where a 200 V, high‑capacitance solution is required and extended high‑temperature endurance supports continuous operation.
• Power Conversion and Motor Drives — DC link and ripple filtering duties benefiting from high ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies.
• Control Panels and Power Modules — Snap‑in mounting and can‑style packaging provide reliable mechanical retention and serviceable installation in cabinetized equipment.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance Density: 1.5 mF at 200 V provides substantial bulk energy storage in a compact can‑style package for space‑constrained power designs.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life: Endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current reduces replacement frequency in elevated‑temperature environments.
• Wide Temperature Range: −40 °C to +105 °C operating range supports designs that must perform across broad environmental conditions.
• Clear Ripple Data: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow designers to size cooling and current handling with confidence.
• Overvoltage Mitigation: Design and testing focus on reducing short incidence under 1.5× rated voltage, contributing to system safety considerations.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies use in regions requiring restricted‑substance conformance.
