LGR2D152MELC50

The LGR2D152MELC50 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for long‑life, high‑temperature power applications. It provides 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance at a 200 V rating in a radial, can‑style snap‑in package with polarization for DC use.

Engineered for endurance, the LGR series withstands 10,000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C and is RoHS‑compliant, making it suitable for general‑purpose power filtering and energy‑smoothing applications that require extended lifetime and predictable performance under elevated temperature and ripple stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing in DC power circuits.
• High‑Temperature Long Life — Rated for operation to 105°C and specified to withstand 10,000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, supporting prolonged service in thermally demanding environments.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 2.5 A at 120 Hz and 3.75 A at 50 kHz, supporting both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple loads; frequency coefficients in the LGR series scale ripple capability at higher frequencies.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package (snap‑in terminal type) for secure PCB mounting and mechanical stability in power assemblies; physical size approximately L: 5 × D: 3.5 cm.
• Operating Range & Reliability — Operating temperature −40°C to +105°C; endurance and shelf‑life specifications (endurance: capacitance change within ±25% after endurance test; shelf life: capacitance within ±15% after 1000 h at 105°C) provide predictable aging behavior.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA (after 5 minutes at 20°C); tan δ limits and low‑temperature impedance ratios are specified in the LGR series to aid in thermal and impedance budgeting.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing — Bulk decoupling and energy storage for DC power supplies requiring 200 V ratings and high capacitance to stabilize rails and absorb ripple.
• Industrial power conversion — DC link and filter applications in converters and inverters where sustained ripple handling at elevated temperatures is required.
• Uninterruptible power and backup systems — Energy buffering and smoothing in UPS and standby power modules that benefit from the part’s long‑life rating at 105°C.
• General‑purpose power electronics — Applications needing robust, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with snap‑in mounting for reliable PCB installation and long service life.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for extended high‑temperature operation — 10,000‑hour endurance at 105°C reduces frequency of replacements and supports longer maintenance intervals.
• Predictable ripple handling across frequency — Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz (2.5 A and 3.75 A respectively) and frequency coefficients allow engineers to size capacitors for specific ripple spectra.
• Compact, secure mounting — Snap‑in radial can package provides stable mechanical attachment for power boards and simplifies assembly in high‑current modules.
• Measured electrical limits — Specified leakage current formula and tan δ limits give quantifiable parameters for system leakage and dissipation budgeting.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmental and regulatory requirements.
