Overview of LGN2Z152MELA50 – 1.5 mF, 180 V Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGN2Z152MELA50 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 180 V rating in a smaller-sized snap‑in can engineered for high-temperature ripple endurance.
Built for applications that require sustained ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperature, this part withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C and is RoHS compliant.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF capacitance rated at 180 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in power circuits.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours with rated ripple current at 105°C, supporting sustained operation in elevated ambient environments.
- Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple handling of 2.5 A at 120 Hz and 3.75 A at 100 kHz to support high‑ripple power stages.
- Operating Temperature Range — Usable between −40°C and +105°C for broad environmental coverage.
- Snap‑in, Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting for secure PCB installation in power assemblies.
- Capacitance Tolerance & Polarization — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C; polarized design for DC power applications.
- Regulatory Compliance — Product is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Series Note — One rank smaller case size than the LGU series for tighter board-space options.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and ripple filtering where sustained ripple current and 180 V rating are required.
- DC‑DC Converters and Power Modules — Energy storage and decoupling in high‑frequency converter outputs using the specified ripple performance.
- Motor Drives and Inverters — DC link smoothing in power electronics assemblies operating at elevated temperatures.
- General‑Purpose Industrial Electronics — Reliable polarized capacitance for filter and hold‑up functions in industrial control equipment.
Unique Advantages
- Proven High‑Temperature Reliability: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, providing measurable long‑term performance in hot operating environments.
- High Ripple Capability: Defined ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz let designers size capacitors for a range of switching and line‑frequency conditions.
- Space‑Conscious Package: Snap‑in radial can construction and a one‑rank smaller case size than LGU allow denser power assemblies without sacrificing performance.
- Wide Operating Range: −40°C to +105°C operation supports a variety of industrial and commercial temperature profiles.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for easier regulatory alignment in products and systems.
