LGC2H151MELA30

The LGC2H151MELA30 is a snap‑in terminal, large‑can aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 150 µF and 500 V. It is part of Nichicon’s LGC series designed for long life operation up to 105°C and is RoHS compliant.

With snap‑in mounting, compact φ25 × 30 mm dimensions and a 5000‑hour endurance at 105°C, this capacitor suits general‑purpose high‑voltage applications where long life, stable capacitance and reliable ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 500 V for high‑voltage energy storage and filtering.
• Snap‑In Terminal Package — Radial, can style with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting and ease of assembly.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with a specified endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 1.06 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of approximately 1.516 A at 50 kHz, supporting demanding ripple conditions.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Typical leakage current of 820 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) ≤ 0.25 at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable loss characteristics.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C, enabling reliable design margins.
• Compact Footprint — Physical size φ25 × 30 mm provides a smaller case option within the LGC family for equipment downsizing.
• Packaging & Availability — Tray packing; status listed as mass production for volume procurement.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Conditioning — Use where a 500 V rated electrolytic is needed for bulk energy storage, smoothing or filtering in high‑voltage circuits.
• Long‑Life Industrial Electronics — Suitable for equipment requiring continuous operation at elevated temperatures up to 105°C with a 5000‑hour endurance requirement.
• Board‑Level Snap‑In Mounting — Intended for assemblies that benefit from secure snap‑in termination and compact φ25 × 30 mm can sizing.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Rating: 500 V capability allows designers to specify a single capacitor for high‑voltage rails without series stacking.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature: 5000 hours at 105°C provides predictable end‑of‑life behavior for maintenance planning and reliability modeling.
• Robust Ripple Performance: Defined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (1.06 A @120 Hz, ~1.516 A @50 kHz) support varied switching and line frequencies.
• Compact Large‑Can Option: φ25 × 30 mm case offers smaller footprint compared with larger cans in the series while retaining rated performance.
• Clear Electrical Limits: Specified tan δ (≤0.25) and leakage current (820 µA) enable accurate thermal and loss budgeting in power designs.
• RoHS Compliant & Production Ready: Conforms to RoHS directives and is listed as mass production, simplifying procurement and regulatory compliance.
