LGN2E152MELC45

The LGN2E152MELC45 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a smaller-sized snap-in can optimized for board-mounted power systems.

Engineered for elevated-temperature operation, the part is rated for –40 °C to +105 °C and is specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C. The device is RoHS compliant for use in regulated supply chains.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage, suitable for bulk energy storage in mid‑voltage power designs.
• High‑temperature Endurance — Endurance specified for 3000 hours at 105 °C when rated ripple current is applied, providing predictable long‑term behavior under thermal stress.
• Rated Ripple Performance — Rated ripple current of 2.5 A at 120 Hz and 3.75 A at 100 kHz, enabling sustained AC stress handling in filtering and power conversion stages.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package for secure board mounting and simplified assembly in power electronics enclosures.
• Operating Range & Tolerance — Operating temperature range of –40 °C to +105 °C with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Polarized Design — Polar capacitor intended for DC applications where polarity is defined.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for reduced hazardous substance content.
• Compact Footprint — Smaller-sized case relative to the LGU series, offering higher density power solutions where board space is constrained (see series guidance in datasheet).
• Physical Size — Body dimensions approximately L: 4.5 × D: 3.5 cm for planning layout and enclosure clearances.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in general‑purpose AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies where 250 V ratings and sustained ripple endurance are required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Filtering and decoupling in medium‑voltage industrial converters and control systems operating up to 105 °C.
• Energy Storage Modules — Local energy buffering on boards requiring a high capacitance (1.5 mF) solution with robust ripple current capability.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained high‑temperature ripple — Rated to withstand 3000 hours of applied rated ripple current at 105 °C, reducing the risk of premature degradation in hot‑running systems.
• High ripple handling at multiple frequencies — Explicit ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz support reliable performance across common power conversion switching frequencies.
• Space‑efficient snap‑in can — One rank smaller case than the LGU series allows denser board integration without sacrificing capacitance.
• Wide operating temperature — –40 °C to +105 °C rating covers demanding environments and broadens deployment options.
• Regulatory readiness — RoHS compliance simplifies qualification for regulated markets and environmentally conscious designs.
