The LGY1J152MELA25 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGY series, designed for long life at elevated temperatures. It provides 1,500 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating in a compact φ25 × 25 mm radial can and is intended for general‑purpose and industrial power applications where durable ripple handling and long endurance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating — 1,500 µF nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Ripple Endurance — Rated for 1,500 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1,725 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Long‑Life Performance — Endurance specified for 5,000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Low Leakage and Controlled Dissipation — Typical leakage current listed as 920 µA and a specified tan δ of 0.25 (max.) at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 63 V rating.
• Robust Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +105°C to suit a wide range of industrial environments.
• Snap‑in Radial Can — φ25 × 25L compact snap‑in package for secure PCB mounting; supplied in tray packing and available in mass production quantities.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant per the product documentation.
• Polarized Construction — Designed for polarized applications; follow correct polarity during installation.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Suited for use in industrial power supply circuits where sustained ripple tolerance and long operational life are required.
• Ballasts — Appropriate for ballast applications as indicated in the LGY series documentation.
• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — General‑purpose bulk capacitance and ripple handling in power conversion and related circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Long‑Life Specification — 5,000‑hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging performance for designs requiring extended high‑temperature operation.
• High Ripple Capability — Dual ripple ratings for low and high frequency (1,500 mA at 120 Hz; 1,725 mA at 50 kHz) let designers verify performance across operating frequencies.
• Compact Snap‑in Package — φ25 × 25 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals delivers secure mechanical retention and a small PCB footprint for space‑constrained assemblies.
• Controlled Electrochemical Characteristics — Specified tan δ (0.25 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and measured leakage enable electrical design margins to be calculated and verified.
• Wide Operating Temperature — −40°C to +105°C rating supports a broad range of application environments without additional qualification.
• RoHS Compliance and Production Availability — RoHS‑compliant construction and tray packing with mass production status streamline procurement and manufacturing integration.
