LGN2P152MELC40

The LGN2P152MELC40 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGN series, designed for general-purpose power electronics. It provides 1.5 mF (1500 μF) capacitance at a 220 V rated voltage with polarized construction and snap-in mounting for secure, board-mounted power filtering and energy smoothing.

Built for demanding thermal environments, this part is specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for industrial and commercial designs that require reliable high-temperature endurance.

Key Features

• Core Electricals — 1.5 mF (1500 μF) capacitance with a 220 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing in 220 V systems.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, supporting sustained operation under elevated thermal stress.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current of 2.76 A at 120 Hz and 4.14 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple handling across low and high frequency ranges.
• Operating Range — Polarized device rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap-in terminals for robust, board-mounted installation; physical size approximately L: 4 × D: 3.5 cm and seated height up to 1.575 inch.
• Compliance — Conforms to RoHS requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in 220 V power supplies and converter input stages where high capacitance and ripple endurance are required.
• Industrial power electronics — Energy buffering and ripple suppression in industrial controllers and commercial power systems operating in elevated temperature environments.
• DC link and energy storage — Bulk charge storage and transient energy delivery in designs that demand polarized electrolytic capacitors with high ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature stability — Specified endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current simplifies thermal design margins for continuous operation.
• Dual-frequency ripple performance — Defined ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide predictable performance across power-conversion topologies.
• Compact snap-in form factor — Snap-in radial can and compact dimensions (L: 4 × D: 3.5 cm) enable dense board layouts; one rank smaller case sizing within the LGN family reduces space compared to larger series options.
• Wide operating temperature span — −40°C to 105°C rating supports a broad range of ambient conditions for commercial and industrial equipment.
• RoHS compliant — Meets EU RoHS directives for environmental compliance in global product deployments.
