Overview of LGN2X151MELC40 – 150 µF, 600 V Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 105°C
The LGN2X151MELC40 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-voltage, general-purpose applications. It features a 150 µF capacitance at a 600 V rating, polarized construction, and a compact snap-in can package engineered for installations that require robust high-voltage energy storage and reliable board retention.
Key value propositions include high operating temperature capability to 105°C, long endurance under rated conditions for 600 V parts, and RoHS compliance for regulatory compatibility.
Key Features
- Voltage & Capacitance — 150 µF nominal capacitance rated at 600 V to support high-voltage energy storage requirements.
- Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated for operation to 105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C for 600 V parts, supporting sustained high-temperature operation.
- Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 830 mA at 120 Hz and 1.187 A at 100 kHz, enabling reliable performance under AC ripple stress.
- Package & Mounting — Radial snap-in can package for secure PCB retention and reliable mechanical mounting in high-voltage assemblies.
- Case Size Efficiency — One rank smaller case size than LGU series, providing a more compact footprint while maintaining performance.
- Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance ±20% and polarized construction; suitable where defined polarity and tolerance bands are acceptable.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.
Typical Applications
- High-voltage power supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage where a 600 V rated capacitor is required for reliable DC filtering.
- DC-link and power conversion — Energy buffering in high-voltage inverters and converters that operate at elevated temperatures.
- Industrial and commercial equipment — General-purpose high-voltage capacitor use in systems that demand 105°C performance and secure snap-in mounting.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 600 V rating provides the margin needed for many high-voltage designs requiring significant energy storage.
- High-temperature endurance: Rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C for 600 V parts, offering predictable life under sustained thermal stress.
- Measured ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz support applications exposed to both low- and high-frequency ripple components.
- Compact footprint: One rank smaller case than the LGU series helps reduce board space without sacrificing rated voltage or capacitance.
- Secure mounting: Snap-in radial can package simplifies mechanical retention for through-hole assemblies.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports designs targeting restricted-substance requirements.
