LGU2F151MELA

The LGU2F151MELA is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal radial can designed for general-purpose applications. It provides 150µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 315V with ±20% tolerance and is specified for operation up to 105°C.

As part of Nichicon’s LGU series, this snap-in terminal type is built for high-temperature endurance and production assembly, offering a compact φ25×25 mm footprint, tray packing, and a 3000-hour endurance rating at 105°C under rated ripple current conditions. The part is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance and Voltage — 150µF capacitance at 315V with ±20% tolerance, suitable where high-voltage electrolytic capacitance is required.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Specified for operation to 105°C and endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 820 mA at 120 Hz and 1.173 A at 50 kHz, supporting applications with continuous ripple-loading requirements.
• Package and Mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can (φ25×25 mm) designed for secure PCB retention and efficient assembly in tray-packed, mass-production environments.
• Operating Temperature Range — −25°C to +105°C for the 315V rating, matching the LGU series category range for this voltage class.
• Shelf-Life and Recovery — Meets shelf-life characteristics after storage at 105°C for 1000 hours followed by specified voltage treatment, per the series specification.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Systems — Use where a 315V, 150µF polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for high-voltage circuits that need elevated temperature capability.
• Production Assemblies — Snap-in terminal and tray packing simplify insertion and retention for mass-production PCB assemblies.
• High-Temperature Environments — Suitable for equipment operating up to 105°C where long endurance under rated ripple current is necessary.

Unique Advantages

• High-Voltage, High-Temperature Combination — 315V rating combined with 105°C operating capability supports demanding power designs within the LGU series specification.
• Proven Endurance — Designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, providing a measurable reliability baseline for thermal and ripple stress.
• Assembly-Friendly Form Factor — Snap-in radial can (φ25×25 mm) enables secure PCB mounting and efficient handling in tray-packed production flows.
• Frequency-Tolerant Ripple Performance — Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz give clear guidance for thermal and ripple budgeting in system design.
• Regulatory Compatibility — RoHS compliance supports use in regions and projects requiring restricted-substance conformance.
