Overview of LGUW6151MELB – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap‑in Terminal
The LGUW6151MELB is a 150 µF, 420 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series, designed as a snap‑in terminal radial can for general-purpose applications. It offers high-voltage capacitance in a compact φ30 × 25 mm package with rated endurance at elevated temperature.
Engineered for demanding ambient conditions, this snap‑in capacitor delivers long life at 105°C with specified ripple handling across low and high frequencies, making it suitable for bulk energy storage and power-conditioning needs in general-purpose electronic equipment.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance rated for 420 V DC, with a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Thermal Endurance — Rated operating temperature range −25°C to 105°C with a guaranteed life of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions.
- Ripple Current Performance — Handles 880 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.258 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting both mains‑frequency and higher‑frequency power applications.
- Low Dissipation Factor — tan δ = 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), indicating efficient operation with controlled loss at the rated voltage class.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 750 µA (after standard voltage application at 20°C), for predictable DC performance.
- Mechanical & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ30 × 25 mm) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Power supplies — Bulk capacitance and ripple handling for high‑voltage DC link filtering and smoothing in general-purpose power supply designs.
- Industrial electronics — Energy storage and decoupling in industrial control and power conversion equipment operating up to 420 V and elevated ambient temperatures.
- High-voltage assemblies — Use where compact, snap‑in high‑voltage capacitors are required for board‑level mounting and reliable high-temperature performance.
Unique Advantages
- 420 V rating for high-voltage designs: Enables use in DC link and high-voltage power stages without series stacking.
- 3000‑hour life at 105°C: Provides durable long‑term performance under continuous rated ripple conditions, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency.
- Wide ripple‑frequency capability: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz supports performance across mains and switching frequencies.
- Compact snap‑in form factor: φ30 × 25 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals for robust board retention and straightforward assembly.
- Measured electrical stability: Low tan δ (0.15 at 120 Hz) and controlled leakage current support predictable circuit behavior.
- Production readiness: Mass production status and tray packing facilitate procurement and assembly at scale.
