LGG2Z152MELB40

The LGG2Z152MELB40 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor in Nichicon’s LGG series designed for space-conscious assemblies. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 180 V rating with an ultra-smaller-sized case (one rank smaller than LGN), making it suited for equipment downsizing and general-purpose power applications.

Engineered for elevated operating temperatures, this part supports operation to 105°C and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, providing stable capacitance, controlled tan δ, and leakage performance after long-term high-temperature biasing.

Key Features

• Snap-in Terminal Package Radial, can-type snap-in mounting enables secure chassis or PCB installation for robust mechanical retention.
• Capacitance and Voltage 1.5 mF capacitance rated at 180 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in mid-voltage circuits.
• High Temperature Rating Rated for operation from –40°C to +105°C (for voltage class applicable to this part) with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability Specified ripple current handling of 2.5 A at 120 Hz and 3.75 A at 100 kHz to support a range of frequency environments.
• Compact Footprint Ultra-smaller-sized case (one rank smaller than LGN) with physical size approximately L: 4 × D: 3 cm for space-constrained designs.
• Polarized, General-Purpose Design Polarized aluminum electrolytic intended for general-purpose applications where a polarized capacitor is required.
• RoHS Compliant Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — Specified as a general-purpose aluminum electrolytic capacitor for a wide range of electronic assemblies requiring 1.5 mF at 180 V.
• Equipment Downsizing — The LGG series’ ultra-smaller-sized case is suited for designs where reduced component footprint is required.
• High-Temperature Environments — Suitable for applications that require operation up to 105°C with specified endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving form factor: One rank smaller case size than LGN reduces board or chassis area for capacitors, aiding equipment downsizing.
• High-temperature endurance: 2000 hours rated life at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current supports reliable long-term operation in hot environments.
• Measured ripple performance: Provided ripple current specifications at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies allow matching to specific power designs and switching environments.
• Clear electrical specification: 1.5 mF at 180 V with ±20% capacitance tolerance simplifies selection for designers targeting that voltage/capacitance point.
• Robust mounting: Snap-in terminal construction provides secure mechanical retention for assemblies requiring durable mounting.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs that must meet restricted-substance requirements.
