LGG2C152MELB35

The LGG2C152MELB35 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series, designed for compact, general-purpose applications. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 160 V rating in an ultra-smaller-sized snap-in can optimized for equipment downsizing.

Built for higher-temperature operation, this polarized capacitor is specified for continuous use from −40°C to +105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications that require elevated temperature endurance and regulatory compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 μF) rated at 160 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in compact high-voltage circuits.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation up to 105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Compact Snap-In Package — Radial, snap-in can package (L: 3.5 × D: 3 cm) intended for space-constrained equipment; the LGG series is one rank smaller in case size than the LGN series.
• Ripple Current Capability — Handles 2.5 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.75 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with significant AC content.
• Electrical Stability — Capacitance tolerance ±20% and low-temperature impedance characteristics per the LGG series data; tan δ ≤ 0.15 (120 Hz, 20°C) at this rated voltage range.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage follows the LGG series formula I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C, giving a predictable basis for system-level leakage budgeting.
• Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Compact power modules — Suited for equipment downsizing where a 160 V, 1.5 mF capacitor is required in a smaller snap-in can.
• Industrial electronics — General-purpose use in industrial equipment requiring 105°C capability and a documented 2000-hour endurance at elevated temperature.
• RoHS-compliant systems — Use in consumer or professional electronics that require RoHS-conformant components while maintaining high-temperature performance.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving form factor — One rank smaller case size than the LGN series enables reduced PCB footprint and smaller enclosure designs.
• Designed for high-temperature life — Specified 2000 hours at 105°C under rated stress, supporting longevity in warm operating environments.
• Strong ripple handling — Rated ripple currents of 2.5 A (120 Hz) and 3.75 A (100 kHz) allow reliable performance in circuits with significant AC ripple.
• Predictable leakage behavior — Leakage current defined by the LGG series formula (I ≤ 3√CV μA) provides a calculable parameter for power budgeting.
• Snap-in mechanical retention — Radial snap-in terminals provide secure mounting for applications that require robust through-hole retention.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports deployment in regions and products where restricted-substance compliance is required.
