LGU2D152MELC

The LGU2D152MELC is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal can designed for general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 1500 µF at 200 V with a ±20% tolerance and is manufactured by Nichicon as part of the LGU series.

Key value propositions include a 105°C operating capability, endurance to 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, high rated ripple current at both low and high frequency, and RoHS compliance—packaged in a radial snap‑in can for secure board mounting and tray packing for volume production.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating — 1500 µF capacitance at 200 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for applications requiring substantial bulk capacitance.
• Low Loss — Specified tan δ of 0.15 (max) measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting stable performance in AC ripple environments.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 3.08 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.62 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to withstand demanding ripple conditions per the product specification.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1640 µA after initial application of rated voltage at 20°C.
• Endurance and Reliability — Rated to withstand 3000 hours at 105°C with applied DC bias plus rated ripple current; after test the capacitor meets defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +105°C, reflecting suitability across a wide ambient range defined for the LGU series.
• Mechanical & Mounting — φ35 × 40L can dimensions (L: 4 × D: 3.5 cm) with snap‑in terminals and radial, can‑snap‑in package for robust board retention and assembly.
• Compliance & Production — RoHS compliant and listed as mass production status with tray packing for scalable manufacturing needs.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Circuits — Specified for general‑purpose use where a 200 V, 1500 µF snap‑in capacitor is required for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• High‑Temperature Power Designs — Designed to operate up to 105°C and endurance tested for 3000 hours at that temperature under rated ripple, addressing designs with elevated operating temperatures.
• High Ripple Current Environments — Suitable where significant AC ripple currents occur, supported by the specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Endurance: 3000‑hour life at 105°C under rated ripple current provides a quantified reliability baseline for thermal stress conditions.
• High Ripple Handling: Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current specifications (3.08 A at 120 Hz, 4.62 A at 50 kHz) enable designers to match component selection to operating frequency profiles.
• Low Dissipation Factor: tan δ of 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz supports efficient AC performance with reduced heating from dielectric losses.
• Robust Mounting: Snap‑in terminal design and radial can package offer secure PCB retention for assemblies requiring mechanical stability.
• Production‑Ready: Tray packing and mass production status facilitate volume procurement and consistent supply for production builds.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance ensures alignment with lead‑free environmental requirements.
