LLG2E152MELB50

The LLG2E152MELB50 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLG series, featuring a snap-in terminal package and a one-rank smaller case size than LLS for equipment downsizing. It is intended for general-purpose applications and is RoHS compliant.

This part provides 1.5 mF capacitance at a 250 V rating, polarized construction, and is specified for operation across a broad temperature range with defined endurance under elevated-temperature stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF rated capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage; capacitance tolerance ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in terminal, radial can (snap-in) package for secure board installation and retention suitable for general-purpose power assemblies.
• Operating Range — Specified operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C for the 160–250 V category.
• Endurance — 2000 hours at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current with capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ not exceeding 200% of initial specified value, and leakage current within initial specified limits.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 4.25 A at 120 Hz and 6.375 A at 100 kHz for effective AC ripple tolerance in power applications.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current follows I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C (C: μF, V: V).
• Electrical Losses — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) measured at 120 Hz, 20°C: max. 0.15 for rated voltages in the 160–400 V range.
• Physical Size — Size dimension: L: 5 × D: 3 cm; marked with white lettering on a black sleeve.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in general-purpose power supplies that require 1.5 mF at 250 V and robust ripple current capability.
• Industrial Electronics — General-purpose industrial control and power modules benefitting from the −40°C to +85°C operating range and 2000 h endurance at 85°C.
• Power Conversion — Filtering and DC-link support in power conversion and inverter stages where snap-in mounting and high-voltage bulk capacitance are needed.

Unique Advantages

• Space-efficient package — One rank smaller case size than LLS supports equipment downsizing without sacrificing bulk capacitance.
• High-voltage bulk capacitance — 1.5 mF at 250 V provides substantial energy storage for power smoothing and DC-link applications.
• Defined ripple performance — Clear ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies (4.25 A at 120 Hz; 6.375 A at 100 kHz) help designers size thermal and cooling requirements.
• Engineered lifespan — 2000 hours at 85°C endurance specification with quantified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current supports predictable long-term behavior.
• Tested electrical characteristics — Leakage current and tan δ specifications (I ≤ 3√CV after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ max. 0.15 at 120 Hz for 160–400 V) provide measurable acceptance criteria during validation.
• RoHS-compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for use in regulated markets.
