LLG2C152MELB30

The LLG2C152MELB30 is a Nichicon LLG series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance at a 160 V rating. Designed as a smaller‑sized, snap‑in terminal component, it targets general‑purpose power applications that require high bulk capacitance and robust ripple handling in a compact can‑type package.

Key value propositions include a high ripple current capability (3.4 A at 120 Hz, 5.1 A at 100 kHz), an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 85°C, RoHS compliance, and tray packing for production handling and assembly.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20%, providing substantial bulk energy storage for DC rails.
• High Ripple Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 3.4 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 5.1 A (100 kHz), enabling effective smoothing under both mains and switching conditions.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage — Specified tan δ (DF) max 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and a measured leakage current of 1460 µA for predictable loss and leakage behavior.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C and specified operating range from -40°C to +85°C to meet extended thermal endurance requirements.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ30 × 30 mm) designed for secure board mounting and ease of installation; supplied in tray packing for production throughput.
• Regulatory — RoHS‑compliant construction.
• Polarized — Conventional polarized aluminum electrolytic design for DC bulk and smoothing applications.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power supplies — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple filtering up to 160 V for power rails in industrial and commercial equipment.
• Switch‑mode power supplies and converters — High ripple current ratings support both low‑ and high‑frequency smoothing near switching nodes.
• Energy storage on DC buses — 1500 µF capacitance supports energy buffering and transient suppression in compact assemblies where snap‑in mounting is preferred.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, smaller‑sized LLG series body — One rank smaller case sizing compared to larger families in the series, enabling board space savings while retaining high capacitance.
• Dual‑frequency ripple performance — Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow a single component to address both mains‑frequency smoothing and high‑frequency switching noise.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature — 2000 hours at 85°C provides predictable life performance for designs requiring sustained thermal stress handling.
• Tray packing for production — Packaging suited for assembly lines and handling, reducing damage risk and supporting efficient throughput.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.
