Overview of LGU1J152MELA – Aluminum Electrolytic Snap‑in Capacitor, 63 V, 1500 µF
The LGU1J152MELA is a Nichicon LGU series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal configuration. It delivers 1500 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 63 V with a tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
Engineered for general‑purpose power applications, this component offers sustained ripple handling and long endurance—rated for 3000 hours at 105 °C—along with an operating temperature range from −40 °C to 105 °C. It is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for production use.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C) for bulk energy storage and decoupling duties.
- Snap‑in Can Package — Radial, can‑style snap‑in termination for secure mechanical retention and straightforward placement on power assemblies; size φ25 × 25 L mm.
- High‑temperature Endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C, meeting the LGU series endurance criteria for extended high‑temperature operation.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated low‑frequency ripple current of 1.44 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 1.656 A at 50 kHz to support continuous AC ripple loading.
- Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Specified leakage current of 920 µA and manufacturer tan δ limits consistent with LGU series measurements at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
- Wide Operating Temperature — Operates across −40 °C to 105 °C to accommodate a broad range of thermal environments.
- Manufacturing & Compliance — RoHS compliant and available in tray packing; product is in mass production.
Typical Applications
- Power supply smoothing — Bulk capacitance and rated ripple capability make the LGU1J152MELA suitable for smoothing and energy storage on DC rails.
- Ripple filtering — The specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings support AC ripple attenuation in general‑purpose power circuits.
- General‑purpose electronic equipment — Designed for applications requiring reliable bulk capacitance with extended endurance at elevated temperatures.
Unique Advantages
- Sustained ripple endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple conditions, enabling reliable long‑term operation in high‑temperature environments.
