LGG2E152MELC40

The LGG2E152MELC40 is a Nichicon LGG series snap-in, large-can aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1500 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating. It is a polarized, radial can, snap-in terminal type designed for general-purpose applications that require high capacitance in a compact package.

Key value comes from its combination of high capacitance (1.5 mF), elevated operating temperature rating (–40 °C to 105 °C), and defined endurance (2000 hours at 105 °C), making it suitable where robust bulk storage and long-term performance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 (measurement condition: 20 °C, 120 Hz) to quantify dissipation.
• Ripple Performance — Low-frequency ripple current rated at 2.3 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current rated at 3.45 A (100 kHz), supporting AC ripple handling across a range of frequencies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1830 µA after application of rated voltage, allowing predictable bias characteristics.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operates from –40 °C to 105 °C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, large-can snap-in package (φ35 × 40 mm; listed size L: 4 cm × D: 3.5 cm) supplied in tray packing for board-level snap-in mounting.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — Intended for general-purpose applications that require 1500 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating.
• General Purpose — Snap-in, radial can construction for secure board mounting in designs calling for large-can electrolytic capacitors.
• General Purpose — Suitable where defined endurance (2000 h at 105 °C) and wide operating temperature range (–40 °C to 105 °C) are required.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance in a compact can — 1500 µF in a φ35 × 40 mm package delivers substantial energy storage while occupying a controlled board footprint.
• Broad temperature tolerance — Rated operation from –40 °C to 105 °C supports a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Frequency-flexible ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both low (2.3 A at 120 Hz) and high (3.45 A at 100 kHz) frequencies provide predictable performance across common ripple sources.
• Defined endurance — 2000-hour life at 105 °C under rated conditions enables designers to plan for long-term performance and maintenance intervals.
• Tray packing for production — Supplied in tray packing to support handling and assembly in production environments.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.
