LLG2C152MELA40

The LLG2C152MELA40 is a snap-in, aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLG series, designed for general-purpose applications and equipment downsizing. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact snap-in can package, combining measurable ripple handling with a reduced-case footprint compared to the LLS series.

Key engineering attributes include polarized operation, RoHS compliance, and endurance proven under DC bias plus rated ripple current at elevated temperature (2000 hours at 85°C).

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — Rated capacitance 1.5 mF with ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage and smoothing capability for general-purpose circuits.
• High Voltage Rating — 160 V rated voltage for DC and power applications where elevated voltage margin is required.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 3.4 A at 120 Hz and 5.1 A at 100 kHz, supporting applications with sustained AC ripple under DC bias.
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating temperature range from –40°C to +85°C, with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Compact Snap‑in Package — Radial, snap-in can package sized 25 × 40 mm (D × L) that is one rank smaller than the LLS series to support equipment downsizing efforts.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Series-level specifications include low tan δ (≤0.15 for 160–400 V at 120 Hz, 20°C) and leakage current conforming to I ≤ 3√CV after voltage application, aiding predictable performance and design margin.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting restricted-substance requirements.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power modules — Bulk capacitance and ripple suppression in systems that require a polarized electrolytic capacitor rated to 160 V.
• Space-constrained equipment — Designed one rank smaller than LLS to help reduce board area and overall equipment size.
• Industrial and commercial electronics — Long-life performance under elevated temperature (2000 h at 85°C) for steady DC-bias applications.

Unique Advantages

• Smaller case for downsizing: One rank smaller footprint than LLS helps minimize cabinet and PCB area without sacrificing rated capacitance.
• Robust ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies enable use where broadband ripple is present.
• Engineered endurance: Endurance verified for 2000 hours at 85°C with DC bias and rated ripple current, supporting predictable life planning.
• Clear electrical specifications: Tolerance, leakage, and tan δ defined by series datasheet make simulation and margining more straightforward.
• RoHS compliance: Meets current restricted-substance requirements for regulated markets and procurement frameworks.
