LGW2D152MELC35

The LGW2D152MELC35 is a Nichicon LGW-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal radial can package. It provides 1.5 mF capacitance at a 200 V rated voltage with polarized construction and is designed for general-purpose applications that require high ripple current handling and elevated operating temperature.

Key value propositions include high ripple-current capability, long endurance at elevated temperature (105°C), and RoHS compliance for modern production environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF rated capacitance with a 200 V rating, offering substantial bulk energy storage for general-purpose designs.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 4.2 A at 120 Hz and 6.3 A at 50 kHz, suitable where sustained AC ripple handling is required.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal type in a radial, can-style package for secure board mounting and high-current applications.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C and specified endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance of ±20% and polarized construction; designed for circuits that accommodate polarized electrolytic capacitors.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory-compliant assemblies.
• Compact Footprint — Physical size L: 3.5 x D: 3.5 cm to fit applications calling for a compact radial snap-in capacitor.
• Leakage Current Specification (Series) — Series leakage guideline: I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C (C in μF, V in V), as specified in the LGW series datasheet.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and filtering where a 1.5 mF, 200 V polarized capacitor with high ripple tolerance is required.
• High-ripple current environments — Circuits that impose sustained ripple currents, benefiting from the part’s specified ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 50 kHz.
• High-temperature installations — Applications operating up to 105°C where long-term endurance (3000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions) is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained ripple — Explicit ripple current ratings (4.2 A at 120 Hz; 6.3 A at 50 kHz) reduce the need to over-spec other system components.
• High-temperature endurance — Endurance specified for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and bias, providing predictable lifetime behavior in hot environments.
• RoHS compliance — Conforms to current RoHS directives, simplifying regulatory compliance for assembled products.
• Secure snap-in mounting — Snap-in radial can format provides robust mechanical retention for higher-current and vibration-prone installations.
• Clear, verifiable electrical limits — Capacitance tolerance, leakage formula, and tan δ limits are documented in the LGW series specifications for engineering evaluation.
