LGX2D152MELC40

The LGX2D152MELC40 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor in Nichicon’s LGX series. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at a 200 V rating in a smaller-sized φ35 × 40 mm can for use in power-electronics assemblies.

Designed for general-purpose power applications, this part delivers a long-life endurance specification (5000 hours at 105 °C) and rated ripple-current capability for use in rectifier circuits of general inverters and switching power supplies.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and polarized construction; rated for 200 V DC.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 3.08 A at 120 Hz and 4.62 A at 50 kHz to support power-conversion and rectifier loads.
• Thermal and Reliability — Long-life assurance: endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple and DC bias conditions.
• Operating Range — Rated for operation from −25 °C to +105 °C, suitable for elevated-temperature environments within that range.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in (radial, can) package in a compact φ35 × 40 mm form factor to facilitate secure board mounting in high-density assemblies.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant according to provided product information.
• Production & Handling — Supplied in tray packing and intended for mass production runs.

Typical Applications

• Inverters (rectifier circuits) — Suited for rectifier circuits of general inverters where high-voltage smoothing and endurance at 105 °C are required.
• Switching power supplies — Suitable for energy-storage and smoothing duties in switching PSU topologies, supported by rated ripple-current values.
• General-purpose power electronics — Use in a variety of general-purpose power designs that require a 200 V, high-capacitance, long-life snap-in capacitor.

Unique Advantages

• Long-life assurance: Endurance rated at 5000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable aging characteristics for high-temperature applications.
• High-voltage, high-capacitance combination: 1500 µF at 200 V gives substantial energy storage in a compact φ35 × 40 mm package.
• Measured ripple capability: Specified ripple currents (3.08 A at 120 Hz, 4.62 A at 50 kHz) allow designers to match capacitor selection to application ripple profiles.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Snap-in radial can simplifies mechanical retention on PCBs for robust installation in mass-produced assemblies.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in the product data.
• Production-ready packaging: Tray packing and mass-production availability support volume manufacturing and assembly flows.
