LGG2C152MELC30

The LGG2C152MELC30 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for compact, high-temperature applications. As an ultra-smaller-sized 105°C snap-in type (one rank smaller than LGN), it is optimized for equipment downsizing where space and reliable bulk capacitance are required.

This polarized, general-purpose capacitor delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 160 V rating with robust ripple handling and long-life endurance characteristics, making it suitable for power supply smoothing and bulk energy storage in constrained assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.5 mF capacitance rated at 160 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power systems.
• High Temperature Operation: Rated for continuous operation to 105°C; category temperature range for this voltage class is −40°C to +105°C.
• Endurance: Designed to meet endurance requirements after 2000 hours at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current, with capacitance change within ±20% and leakage current within initial specified limits.
• Ripple Performance: Rated ripple current of 2.5 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.75 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting a range of switching and line conditions.
• Loss Characteristics: Specified tan δ maximum of 0.15 at 120 Hz and 20°C for rated voltage ranges that include 160 V.
• Compact Snap-in Package: Radial can, snap-in terminal mounting in a reduced case size (approx. 3 × 3.5 cm) for secure board retention and reduced footprint.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Compact Power Supplies — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in downsized power modules where board space is limited and high-temperature endurance is required.
• Industrial Electronics — Serves general-purpose energy storage and filtering roles in industrial control equipment operating up to 105°C.
• Rack and Cabinet Systems — Useful for bulk decoupling and ripple absorption in equipment stacks that demand robust snap-in mounting and reduced component height.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving form factor: One rank smaller case sizing than LGN enables equipment downsizing without sacrificing capacitance.
• High-temperature reliability: Rated to 105°C with a 2000-hour endurance specification, supporting designs that operate in elevated ambient conditions.
• Strong ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support a wide spectrum of power and switching environments.
• Robust electrical stability: Endurance and shelf-life criteria ensure capacitance stays within ±20% and leakage/tan δ remain within specified limits after stress conditions.
• Secure mechanical mounting: Snap-in radial can construction provides reliable board retention for higher-vibration assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental and supply-chain requirements.
