LGJ2C151MELY15

The LGJ2C151MELY15 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGJ series, offering 150 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact radial can. It is a general‑purpose component targeted at applications that require moderate capacitance, high ripple handling, and a compact snap‑in mounting solution.

Key value comes from a combination of a 160 V voltage rating, robust ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, low leakage, and a 2000‑hour endurance rating at 105 °C—making it suitable for volume production and tray packing supply chains.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 150 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 160 V rated voltage for mid‑voltage energy storage and decoupling.
• Ripple Current Performance: 550 mA rated ripple current at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 825 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with significant AC ripple content.
• Low Leakage: Specified leakage current of 460 µA for stable long‑term performance in DC applications.
• Thermal & Endurance: Operates from −40 °C to 105 °C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Package & Mounting: Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction in a φ20 × 15 mm low‑profile size, supplied in tray packing and available for mass production.
• Polarized Construction: Polarized aluminum electrolytic design suitable where polarity is maintained in circuit operation.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic equipment: Use where a 150 µF/160 V snap‑in capacitor is required for mid‑voltage energy storage or smoothing in general circuits.
• Power assemblies and modules: Snap‑in mounting and robust ripple ratings make the part suitable for power supply and power conversion assemblies that need reliable ripple handling.
• Environments requiring wide temperature range: Suitable for designs that must operate between −40 °C and 105 °C while retaining capacitance and leakage performance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Dual ripple ratings (550 mA at 120 Hz, 825 mA at 50 kHz) provide predictable thermal and electrical performance across low and high frequency ripple environments.
• Compact snap‑in form factor: φ20 × 15 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies secure chassis or PCB mounting while conserving board space.
• Long‑life rating at high temperature: 2000 hours endurance at 105 °C supports sustained operation in elevated temperature conditions.
• Low leakage current: 460 µA specified leakage helps maintain DC stability and reduces unwanted current loss over time.
• Production‑ready packaging: Supplied in tray packing and listed as mass production status for streamlined procurement and assembly planning.
