LGW2E152MELC45

The LGW2E152MELC45 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications that require high ripple handling and elevated temperature endurance. It offers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a radial, can snap‑in package.

Engineered for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this part is specified for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C and is qualified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C. The component is RoHS compliant for regulatory alignment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.5 mF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple current of 3.75 A at 120 Hz and 5.625 A at 50 kHz, supporting applications with elevated AC stress.
• 105 °C Endurance: Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C, with endurance criteria detailed in the LGW series specifications.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Specified operating range of −40 °C to 105 °C for use in thermally challenging environments.
• Snap‑In, Radial Can Package: Snap‑in mounting for secure board attachment; package case listed as radial, can - snap‑in.
• RoHS Compliant: Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics: Bulk capacitance for smoothing and energy storage in equipment designated as general‑purpose, leveraging the part’s 1.5 mF capacitance and 250 V rating.
• High‑Ripple Power Circuits: Use where sustained ripple current handling is required—the part’s specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 50 kHz address both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple stresses.
• Elevated‑Temperature Installations: Systems that operate near 105 °C benefit from the capacitor’s 3000‑hour rated ripple endurance at that temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Ripple Endurance: Rated to endure 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C, providing predictable life under continuous AC stress.
• Frequency‑Versatile Performance: Ripple current specifications at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz demonstrate usability across a range of ripple frequencies; series frequency coefficients are provided in the datasheet.
• Secure Snap‑In Mounting: Snap‑in terminals and radial can packaging deliver robust mechanical retention on the PCB.
• Wide Temperature Range: −40 °C to 105 °C operation supports designs that experience broad ambient or internally generated temperature swings.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity for easier integration into products targeting regulated markets.
