LGU1V153MELC

The LGU1V153MELC from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor specified for general‑purpose use. It provides 15 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 35 V in a radial, can snap‑in package designed for polarized applications.

Engineered for elevated temperature operation, this part is a 105°C‑standard capacitor able to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple‑current application at 105°C and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15 mF nominal capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing in polarized circuits.
• Snap‑in Packaging — Radial, can‑style snap‑in terminal type for secure board mounting and robust mechanical retention.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation to 105°C and specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple‑current application at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple current of 3.69 A at 120 Hz and 4.244 A at 50 kHz, supporting high ripple environments within its ratings.
• Operating Range & Polarization — Polarized device with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
• Physical Dimensions — Can dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm with a seated height maximum of 1.378 inches, providing a clear mechanical footprint for PCB planning.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling where polarized snap‑in capacitors are required and sustained ripple performance at elevated temperatures is needed.
• Power conversion modules — DC bus smoothing and energy buffering in modules that operate close to 105°C and demand rated ripple‑current endurance.
• Industrial electronics — General‑purpose energy storage and filtering in industrial equipment designs that benefit from snap‑in mounting and high‑temperature capability.

Unique Advantages

• High‑temperature reliability: Specified to endure 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, enabling sustained performance in hot operating environments.
• Strong ripple handling: Defined ripple current ratings of 3.69 A (120 Hz) and 4.244 A (50 kHz) help manage AC stress in power circuits.
• Robust mechanical mounting: Snap‑in radial can provides secure PCB retention for applications with mechanical or vibrational stress.
• Clear mechanical footprint: Published dimensions (L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm; seated height 1.378 in) simplify board layout and enclosure planning.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted substance adherence.
