LGY2A152MELB30

The LGY2A152MELB30 is a Nichicon LGY series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can with snap‑in terminals, designed for long‑life operation at elevated temperatures. It provides 1.5 mF capacitance at a 100 V rating, polarized construction, and is RoHS compliant.

This part is intended for industrial power electronics where dependable filtering and energy storage under continuous ripple stress are required—particularly industrial power supplies and ballast applications—offering specified endurance at 105°C and secure snap‑in mounting for factory and field reliability.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF rated capacitance with a 100 V working voltage and ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High‑temperature Long Life — Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance change within ±25% after the test.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.8 A at 120 Hz and 2.07 A at 50 kHz, with frequency coefficients defined in the LGY series datasheet for higher frequencies.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified category temperature range from −40°C to +105°C for broad industrial use.
• Leakage Current Limit — Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C, providing a measurable bound for designs sensitive to stand‑by losses.
• Electrical Loss (tan δ) — Maximum tan δ of 0.20 for 80–100 V ratings (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), supporting predictable ESR behavior in design calculations.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting for robust board retention and mechanical stability in power assemblies; package dimensions: L: 3 × D: 3 cm and height seated max 1.181 inch.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and energy buffering where long‑term ripple endurance at elevated temperatures is required.
• Ballasts — Designed for ballast use with specified high‑temperature endurance and ripple handling.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Suitable for industrial equipment requiring polarized high‑capacitance components with secure snap‑in mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained high‑temperature operation: Specified 5000‑hour endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current, enabling predictable life in thermally demanding installations.
• Measurable ripple performance: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow accurate thermal and lifetime budgeting in power designs.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage bound I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after initial voltage application simplifies standby loss estimates and system power budgets.
• Solid mechanical retention: Snap‑in radial can package provides robust PCB anchoring for vibration and handling in industrial assemblies.
• Clear electrical loss specification: tan δ limit (0.20 for 100 V) measured at 120 Hz gives designers a reliable ESR/impedance reference point.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports deployment in regions and projects requiring restricted‑substance compliance.
