Overview of LGG2Z152MELC30 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap‑In, 1500 µF, 180 V
The LGG2Z152MELC30 is a Nichicon LGG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage with a compact φ35 × 30 mm case and tray packing for mass production.
Designed for general‑purpose applications, this component offers high ripple capability, a wide operating temperature range (−40 °C to 105 °C), and 2000 hours of endurance at 105 °C for reliable long‑term operation in demanding assemblies.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) rated capacitance at 180 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing where higher voltage handling is required.
- Tolerance — ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C for predictable design margins in power systems.
- Ripple Current Performance — 2350 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3525 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support substantial AC ripple handling across a range of switching frequencies.
- Low Dissipation Factor — tanδ ≤ 0.15 measured at 20 °C and 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation for thermal and efficiency considerations.
- Leakage Current — 1550 µA specified leakage current for predictable static current behavior after voltage application.
- Thermal Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple, with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage current after endurance testing.
- Compact Snap‑In Package — Radial, can‑type snap‑in mounting (φ35 × 30 mm) for secure board attachment and easier assembly in power modules; tray packing suitable for production environments.
- Wide Operating Range & Compliance — Operates from −40 °C to 105 °C and is RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power systems — Suitable for designs that require a 1.5 mF, 180 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor with snap‑in mounting and high ripple capability.
- Equipment downsizing — LGG series is specified as "ultra‑smaller‑sized" and one rank smaller than LGN, making this part appropriate where reduced case size is desired.
- Production assemblies — Tray packing and mass production status make the LGG2Z152MELC30 suitable for high‑volume manufacturing and automated assembly workflows.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple tolerance: 2.35 A (120 Hz) and 3.525 A (100 kHz) ratings help manage both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple currents without compromising reliability.
- Thermal reliability: 2000 hours endurance at 105 °C ensures stable performance under elevated temperature and DC bias conditions.
- Compact form factor: φ35 × 30 mm snap‑in can offers a smaller case option within the LGG family, supporting equipment miniaturization.
- Predictable electrical characteristics: Specified tanδ (≤ 0.15 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and defined leakage current provide engineers with measurable parameters for thermal and loss budgeting.
- Production readiness: Tray packing and mass production status simplify sourcing and integration for volume designs.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for designs targeting restricted substance requirements.
Why Choose LGG2Z152MELC30?
