LGU2E151MELY

The LGU2E151MELY from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose applications. It delivers 150 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a compact φ20 × 25 mm can with polarized snap‑in mounting.

Engineered for elevated operating temperatures and sustained ripple duty, this part provides rated performance to 105°C with 3000 hours endurance, specified low leakage and frequency‑rated ripple current performance. It is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for production use.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 250 V provides a stable bulk capacitance option for polarized circuits requiring that specific voltage and capacitance combination.
• Snap‑In Package — Radial can with snap‑in terminals offers secure board retention and a compact φ20 × 25 mm footprint (L: 2.5 × D: 2 cm) for chassis or PCB assemblies.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with a lifetime specification of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple current of 790 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.185 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) supports applications with AC ripple across a wide frequency range.
• Low Leakage and Loss — Leakage current specified at 580 µA and a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz (for the 250 V rating) enable controlled dissipation and predictable behavior in powered circuits.
• Manufacturing & Compliance — Mass production status, tray packing for assembly efficiency, and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronics — Where a polarized 150 µF, 250 V snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required in a compact package.
• High‑temperature designs — Suitable for assemblies that require operation across −40°C to +105°C and validated 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C.
• Ripple‑tolerant power circuits — Appropriate for circuits that must handle the specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple currents (790 mA at 120 Hz and 1.185 A at 100 kHz).

Unique Advantages

• Validated 105°C endurance: 3000 hours of rated ripple/current life at 105°C provides specification‑backed reliability for sustained thermal stress.
• Dual‑frequency ripple ratings: Explicit ripple current values at 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to size components with frequency‑specific performance in mind.
• Compact snap‑in format: φ20 × 25 mm can and snap‑in terminals combine space efficiency with secure mechanical mounting for production assemblies.
• Controlled leakage and dissipation: Leakage current of 580 µA and tan δ = 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz) support predictable electrical behavior under rated conditions.
• Production ready and compliant: Mass production status, tray packing, and RoHS compliance ease procurement and regulatory fit for volume manufacturing.

Why Choose LGU2E151MELY?
