LGU2P152MELC

The LGU2P152MELC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series. It delivers 1500 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating in a radial, snap‑in can designed for general purpose applications.

Engineered for elevated temperature operation and sustained ripple handling, this part is targeted at general‑purpose power and electronic designs that require high ripple endurance, wide operating temperature range, and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 220 V and ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap‑in Radial Package — Radial can with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting and mechanical retention in tray packing.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 3.0 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current of 4.5 A (50 kHz), supporting demanding ripple environments.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage — Loss tangent (tan δ) of 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; specified leakage current of 1720 µA.
• RoHS Compliant & Production Ready — RoHS compliant and listed as mass production status; supplied in tray packing.
• Compact Size — Can dimensions approximately φ35 × 45 mm (L: 4.5 × D: 3.5 cm) for space‑conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Suitable for general‑purpose circuits that require 1500 µF capacitance and 220 V rating with snap‑in mounting.
• Power Supply Filter — Employed where steady ripple handling and bulk capacitance are needed within the specified temperature range.
• Industrial and Commercial Equipment — Used in equipment that benefits from long endurance at 105°C and RoHS compliance.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Endurance: Specified ripple currents of 3.0 A (120 Hz) and 4.5 A (50 kHz) support continuous ripple stress in demanding applications.
• Long‑Life at Elevated Temperature: 3000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable performance and longevity under sustained thermal stress.
• Wide Operating Range: −40°C to +105°C operation covers a broad set of environmental conditions for general‑purpose designs.
• Stable Electrical Characteristics: tan δ of 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz) and defined leakage current enable reliable AC and DC performance verification.
• Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production status simplify procurement and assembly for volume deployments.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in applications where restricted substance requirements apply.
