LGU1K152MELZ

The LGU1K152MELZ is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LGU snap‑in terminal series. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at an 80 V rating in a compact snap‑in radial can (φ22×30 mm), designed for general purpose electronic applications.

Key strengths include robust ripple‑current handling, a wide operating temperature range (–40°C to 105°C), and extended endurance (3000 hours at 105°C), delivering reliable bulk energy storage and smoothing where high voltage and long life are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High ripple‑current capability — Rated ripple current of 1610 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1851.5 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) for demanding AC stress conditions.
• Endurance at elevated temperature — Specified lifetime of 3000 hours when D.C. bias plus rated ripple current is applied at 105°C.
• Low dissipation factor — tan δ (DF) of 0.2 max at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient performance in AC applications.
• Leakage current — Typical leakage current specified as 1030 µA after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C.
• Package & mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ22×30L); board‑mount snap‑in terminals for secure PCB installation.
• Environmental & compliance — RoHS compliant; supplied in tray packing and available for mass production.
• Operating range — Rated for –40°C to 105°C operation.

Typical Applications

• General purpose electronic equipment — For circuit designs that require high‑voltage bulk capacitance in a snap‑in package.
• Power module and PCB assemblies — Snap‑in radial mounting provides secure board retention for high ripple‑current conditions.
• High‑temperature environments — Specified for operation and endurance at up to 105°C with 3000 hours of rated stress endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple‑current tolerance: With 1610 mA at 120 Hz and 1851.5 mA at 50 kHz, the LGU1K152MELZ supports designs with significant AC stress across the capacitor.
• Long endurance at 105°C: 3000‑hour rated life under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current provides predictable aging characteristics for long‑service applications.
• Stable electrical performance: tan δ of 0.2 (max) at 20°C, 120 Hz and controlled leakage current (1030 µA) help maintain efficiency and stability in operation.
• Compact, robust package: φ22×30 mm snap‑in radial can gives high capacitance density with secure PCB mounting for mass production assemblies.
• Wide operating temperature: –40°C to 105°C rating allows deployment across varied thermal environments.
• RoHS compliant & production ready: Meets RoHS directive requirements and is supplied in tray packing for assembly throughput.
