Overview of LKX2G151MESY45 – 400 V, 150 µF Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LKX2G151MESY45 is a snap‑in, radial can aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and switching power supplies. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating with materials selected to support superior acoustic sound quality while meeting general‑purpose power filtering needs.
Built for higher operating temperatures, the part is specified for operation from −25 °C to 105 °C and is RoHS‑compliant, making it suitable for applications that require elevated temperature endurance and regulatory compliance.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 400 V, with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
- Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting for secure board or chassis installation in a compact L: 4.5 × D: 2 cm package.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Qualified for operation up to 105 °C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
- Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 850 mA at 120 Hz and 1.216 A at 50 kHz to support switching supply and filtering duty cycles.
- Low‑Temperature Stability (400–450 V range) — Impedance stability characterized with Z(−25 °C) / Z(+20 °C) up to 8, providing predictable performance across temperature extremes.
- Polarized Design — Polarized electrolytic construction for energy storage and smoothing applications.
- Low Leakage Current Specification — Series leakage current defined as I ≤ 3√3V (µA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C, supporting reliable DC performance.
- Regulatory Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and energy storage for power rails where 400 V rating and high ripple capability are required.
- Audio Equipment — Selected materials and construction targeted to achieve superior acoustic sound in power supply and coupling/filter roles.
- General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Capacitor for industrial and consumer power electronics requiring polarized, high‑voltage capacitance with elevated temperature endurance.
Unique Advantages
- High‑temperature reliability: Rated to 105 °C with a 2000‑hour endurance specification at that temperature to support designs exposed to sustained thermal stress.
- Strong ripple handling: Specified ripple current values (850 mA at 120 Hz, 1.216 A at 50 kHz) provide quantifiable capability for switching and high‑frequency environments.
- Secure, serviceable mounting: Snap‑in radial can package simplifies mechanical retention and replacement in chassis or board assemblies.
- Acoustic‑aware material selection: Materials were selected for improved acoustic characteristics in audio equipment applications.
- Predictable low‑temperature behavior: Impedance characterization for the 400–450 V range (Z(−25 °C)/Z(+20 °C) up to 8) helps designers account for low‑temperature performance.
- Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports deployment in regions requiring restricted‑substance adherence.
