LGU2D152MELB

The LGU2D152MELB is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 200 V rating in a radial can snap-in package designed for general-purpose electronic equipment.

Engineered for high-temperature operation, this part is specified for –40°C to 105°C and is endurance-rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, offering stable capacitance and leakage characteristics for demanding operating environments. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and DC link applications within the specified rating.
• High-temperature Endurance — Qualified for operation from –40°C to 105°C and specified to endure 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, maintaining capacitance within ±20% after the endurance test.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 3.08 A at 120 Hz and 4.62 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective ripple handling across common power frequencies.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal (radial, can - snap-in) for secure board mounting and high-current connections in through-hole assemblies.
• Polarized Design — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC applications requiring significant capacitance.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Dimensions — Physical dimensions approximately L: 5 × D: 3 cm for layout planning in power assemblies.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power conditioning — Bulk capacitance and ripple handling for power supply smoothing and DC link filtering within the 200 V rating.
• High-temperature electronic enclosures — Use where components are exposed to elevated ambient temperatures up to 105°C and require long endurance under ripple stress.
• Through-hole power assemblies — Snap-in radial can termination for secure placement in rack-mounted or PCB-mounted power modules.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained high-temperature operation: Endurance tested for 3000 hours at 105°C while preserving capacitance and leakage specifications.
• Measured ripple performance: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow designers to quantify ripple-handling capability for specific power-frequency conditions.
• Robust snap-in mounting: Snap-in terminals provide mechanical stability and reliable current paths for through-hole power designs.
• Clear electrical specification: 1.5 mF at 200 V with ±20% tolerance simplifies selection for bulk energy storage needs within the rated voltage.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports regulatory and environmental requirements for commercial and industrial equipment.

Why Choose LGU2D152MELB?

The LGU2D152MELB is positioned for designs that require a polarized, high-capacitance aluminum electrolytic with explicit high-temperature endurance and defined ripple-current capability. Its combination of 1.5 mF at 200 V, rated ripple currents, and 3000-hour endurance at 105°C provides a predictable electrical and thermal performance envelope for general-purpose power applications.

This part is suited to engineers and procurement teams specifying through-hole capacitors for power conditioning, DC link support, and other general-purpose functions where RoHS compliance and documented endurance at elevated temperatures are required.
