LGU2A152MELA

The LGU2A152MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series, offering 1.5 mF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a radial, can‑style snap‑in package. Engineered for general‑purpose electronic applications, it combines high capacitance, elevated operating temperature capability, and robust ripple handling for board‑level bulk energy storage and smoothing.

Key value propositions include 3000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current, RoHS compliance, and tray packing for efficient assembly and handling in production environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1,500 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 100 V DC rating suitable for higher‑voltage power rails.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Designed to withstand 3,000 hours of D.C. bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 2.03 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 2.3345 A at 100 kHz (manufacturer test conditions).
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.20 at 20°C, 120 Hz (specifies dissipation characteristics for design verification).
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,160 µA (measured after voltage application per datasheet conditions).
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +105°C for broad environmental tolerance.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 35 mm length) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance and voltage rating for circuits requiring 1.5 mF at 100 V in a snap‑in package.
• Power supply smoothing — Used where stable capacitance and specified ripple current handling at 105°C are required for board‑level power rails.
• Industrial control and assemblies — Suitable for assemblies that need high‑temperature endurance and tray packing for production deployment.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature life — 3,000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current ensures predictable aging behavior in elevated ambient conditions.
• High capacitance in compact snap‑in can — 1.5 mF in a φ25 × 35 mm can provides significant bulk energy density while supporting secure snap‑in mounting.
• Measured ripple performance — Specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current values (2.03 A at 120 Hz, 2.3345 A at 100 kHz) allow designers to match capacitor selection to system ripple conditions.
• Clear electrical specifications for design validation — Defined tan δ, leakage current and tolerance figures enable direct comparison and predictable circuit behavior.
• Production‑friendly packaging — Tray packing supports efficient handling and placement during assembly.
• Compliance assurance — RoHS compliance supports deployments where restricted substances requirements apply.
