LGN2C152MELA45

The LGN2C152MELA45 is a Nichicon LGN‑series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1500 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact φ25 × 45 mm can. It is a snap‑in terminal, radial can device intended for general‑purpose applications that require high capacitance, elevated voltage capability, and robust ripple handling.

Designed for reliability in demanding environments, the LGN series is specified to withstand long‑term ripple and elevated temperature operation, providing a combination of electrical performance and long endurance for equipment power systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable where high bulk capacitance at elevated voltage is required.
• Snap‑in radial can package — φ25 × 45 mm can with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting and straightforward assembly; supplied in tray packing.
• High ripple capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 2.5 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 3.75 A (100 kHz), supporting sustained AC loading.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, reflecting the series’ long‑life endurance characteristics.
• Leakage and dissipation — Specified leakage current of 1460 µA and maximum tan δ of 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), enabling predictable loss and leakage behavior.
• Wide operating temperature — Operational range from −40°C to +105°C for broad environmental compatibility.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as stated in the product information.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power systems — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in power assemblies where 1500 µF at 160 V is required.
• Industrial equipment — Applications that need high ripple tolerance and long life at elevated temperatures.
• Electronic assemblies with snap‑in mounting — Designs that benefit from radial snap‑in terminals and tray packing for repeatable placement.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple endurance: Rated ripple currents of 2.5 A (120 Hz) and 3.75 A (100 kHz) allow sustained AC loading and reduced thermal stress in service.
• Extended high‑temperature lifetime: Specified 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias provides long‑term stability in elevated temperature environments.
• Compact, serviceable package: φ25 × 45 mm snap‑in can balances high capacitance with a smaller case size for space‑constrained power designs.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: Specified leakage current (1460 µA) and low tan δ (0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz) support deterministic loss and leakage budgeting.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS directives for environmental regulatory alignment.
