LGU1K152MELA

The LGU1K152MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated for 80 V and 1500 µF with a 105°C standard temperature rating. It is a polarized, radial can snap‑in package designed for general‑purpose applications where elevated temperature endurance and measurable ripple handling are required.

Key performance attributes include a ±20% capacitance tolerance, low loss tangent (tan δ = 0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz), specified leakage current, and defined ripple current capability at low and high frequencies—making it suitable for designs that need predictable capacitive behavior under load and temperature stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance rated at 80 V for energy storage and smoothing in general‑purpose circuits.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operates from −40°C to +105°C with endurance specified as 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Ripple Current Capability — 1620 mA at low frequency (120 Hz) and 1863 mA at high frequency (50 kHz) to support applications with significant AC ripple components.
• Loss and Leakage — Dissipation factor tan δ = 0.2 (max) at 20°C, 120 Hz, and specified leakage current of 1030 µA for controlled power loss and predictable leakage behavior.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ25 × 25L) for robust board retention and straightforward assembly into compatible sockets or PCB layouts.
• Manufacturing & Compliance — Tray packing and mass production status for volume deployment; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power systems — Suitable where a 1500 µF, 80 V electrolytic capacitor with 105°C endurance is required for bulk capacitance and smoothing in general‑purpose circuits.
• Snap‑in assembly designs — Intended for equipment and assemblies that use snap‑in radial can capacitors for secure mounting and serviceable installation.
• High‑temperature environments — Applicable in designs that require continuous operation up to 105°C with a defined 3000‑hour endurance at that temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High temperature endurance: Rated 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, providing extended operational life in elevated temperature conditions.
• Defined ripple performance: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz (1.62 A) and 50 kHz (1.863 A) allow designers to size capacitors against measured AC stress levels.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: ±20% tolerance and a maximum tan δ of 0.2 at 20°C/120 Hz deliver consistent loss behavior for thermal and efficiency calculations.
• Practical mounting form factor: Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 25L) simplifies placement in assemblies where secure mechanical retention is needed.
• Production ready: Tray packing and mass production status support scalable procurement and assembly for volume programs.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances compliance in applicable markets.
