LGN2D152MELB40

The LGN2D152MELB40 is a Nichicon LGN series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can designed for general purpose applications. It is a smaller‑sized, polarized snap‑in capacitor rated for 200 V with 1.5 mF capacitance and wide operating temperature performance.

Engineered for durability, this part withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for designs that require sustained high‑temperature ripple endurance in a compact snap‑in package.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 1.5 mF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 200 V, with ±20% tolerance.
• High‑temperature Endurance — Endurance rating: 3000 hours at 105°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance change within ±20% after the test.
• Rated Ripple Current — 2.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.2 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with significant ripple stress.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to 105°C operation (per part specifications for this series and voltage class).
• Package and Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package for board mounting; compact footprint approximately L: 4 × D: 3 cm and designed one rank smaller than LGU series cases.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3 / √(C) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C (per datasheet formula); tan δ limits and impedance stability are defined in the LGN series specifications.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics – High‑Temperature Environments — Use where general purpose capacitors must withstand continuous ripple at elevated temperatures up to 105°C.
• General Purpose Electronics – Compact Snap‑In Mounting — Suited for board layouts that require snap‑in radial cans in a smaller footprint compared to the LGU family.
• General Purpose Electronics – Polarized High‑Voltage Circuits — Appropriate for polarized circuit functions requiring 1.5 mF at 200 V in general purpose designs.

Unique Advantages

• Proven High‑Temperature Endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, supporting long service life in thermally demanding environments.
• High Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents of 2.8 A (120 Hz) and 4.2 A (100 kHz) allow reliable performance under both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple stress.
• Compact Snap‑In Form Factor: One rank smaller case size than LGU series provides space savings while retaining snap‑in mechanical robustness.
• Clear Performance Limits: Endurance and shelf‑life criteria (capacitance, tan δ, leakage) are defined in the LGN series datasheet for predictable behavior over time.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies environmental requirements for assemblies.
