LGY2A152MELZ45

The LGY2A152MELZ45 from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGY series, designed for long-life operation at elevated temperatures. With a 100 V rated voltage and 1.5 mF capacitance, it targets industrial power electronics where reliable bulk energy storage and ripple handling are required.

This part is optimized for industrial power supplies and ballast applications, offering extended endurance under rated ripple conditions and RoHS compliance for regulated designs.

Key Features

• Long-life, high-temperature endurance — Rated to withstand 5000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C to support sustained high-temperature operation.
• Electrical performance — 1.5 mF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and 100 V rated voltage for high-voltage bulk filtering and energy storage.
• Ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 1.8 A at 120 Hz and 2.07 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficients provided in the datasheet support ripple-current scaling by frequency.
• Robust operating range — Operating temperature from −40°C to +105°C to accommodate industrial thermal environments.
• Snap-in radial can package — Snap-in terminals and a radial can package for secure board mounting in power assemblies and chassis-mounted modules.
• Environmental compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulated product lines.

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in high-reliability power supply outputs where continuous ripple handling and high temperature endurance are important.
• Ballasts — Designed for ballast circuits that require sustained ripple current performance and long operational life at elevated temperatures.
• General-purpose power filtering — Use in general-purpose power conditioning and decoupling where a polarized, high-voltage electrolyte capacitor is appropriate.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high-temperature lifetime: 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current reduces maintenance and replacement frequency in thermal-stressed installations.
• High-voltage capability: 100 V rating supports higher-voltage power rails without stacking multiple capacitors.
• Measured ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 50 kHz, plus frequency coefficients, allow reliable ripple budgeting across common switching and line frequencies.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Snap-in radial can construction provides robust mechanical and electrical mounting for power modules and chassis assemblies.
• Wide temperature range: −40°C to +105°C operating range covers a broad set of industrial ambient conditions.
• Regulatory ready: RoHS compliance simplifies integration into products subject to environmental directives.
