LGU2C152MELC

The LGU2C152MELC is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose applications. It uses a radial, can-style snap-in package and delivers bulk capacitance with rated performance up to 105°C.

Key value propositions include high-temperature endurance with a 3000‑hour rating at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, defined ripple current capability at multiple frequencies, and RoHS compliance for environmental regulatory needs.

Key Features

• Capacitance — 1.5 mF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 160 V DC rated working voltage.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Specified endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to D.C. bias plus rated ripple current; meets the series endurance criteria.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 2.84 A at 120 Hz and 4.26 A at 50 kHz for effective AC handling in power circuits.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +105°C operating range for broad environmental tolerance.
• Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can package for secure board mounting and high-current connections.
• Polarized — Designed for polar configurations typical of electrolytic capacitors.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Size — Package footprint approximately L: 3 cm × D: 3.5 cm for layout planning.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Provides bulk energy storage and ripple smoothing where a polarized aluminum electrolytic is required.
• Power Supply Reservoirs — Suitable for DC bus and reservoir capacitance in general-purpose power electronics designs.
• Industrial and Commercial Electronics — Use in assemblies that require durable, snap-in mounting and rated performance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages
