LAS2G151MELZ35

The LAS2G151MELZ35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LAS series. It delivers 150 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating in a compact snap‑in radial can designed for general‑purpose power applications.

Engineered for robust operation across −25°C to 105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C, this part is suited for equipment exposed to voltage fluctuations and applications that require higher ripple capability and improved safety features for abnormal voltages.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 400 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High ripple capability — Rated ripple current of 880 mA at 120 Hz and 1.012 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing in power circuits across frequency ranges.
• Temperature and endurance — Operating temperature range of −25°C to 105°C with a guaranteed life of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Loss and leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C, and a specified leakage current of 730 µA.
• Snap‑in radial can package — φ22 × 35 mm case (L: 3.5 cm × D: 2.2 cm) with snap‑in terminals for secure PCB mounting and easy insertion.
• Safety features — Improved safety design for abnormally excessive voltage and a pressure relief vent to mitigate hazardous failure modes.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies — Bulk filtering and energy storage in supplies exposed to fluctuating line voltages where high ripple handling is required.
• Motor drives and inverters — DC link and smoothing applications that benefit from the capacitor’s high ripple current capability and 105°C endurance.
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and energy storage — Supporting hold‑up and smoothing functions in systems demanding reliable performance over extended high‑temperature operation.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple current across frequencies — Measurable ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support effective filtering in both mains‑frequency and higher‑frequency power architectures.
• Compact snap‑in form factor — φ22×35 mm can with snap‑in terminals provides a space‑efficient solution for PCB assemblies while maintaining ease of assembly.
• Designed for elevated temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C enables predictable lifecycle performance in hot operating environments.
• Safety‑oriented construction — Pressure relief vent and enhanced tolerance to abnormal voltage conditions reduce risk in voltage‑fluctuating systems.
• Clear electrical characteristics — Specified tan δ and leakage current values make it straightforward to model ESR/impedance behavior for power designs.
