LLG2E152MELC40

The LLG2E152MELC40 is a Nichicon LLG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, radial can package designed for compact power designs. It provides 1.5 mF capacitance at a 250 V rating with polarized construction and is intended for general-purpose power circuitry where equipment downsizing and reliable ripple handling are required.

This part is one rank smaller in case size than the LLS series, is RoHS compliant, and is specified for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage 1.5 mF (1500 µF) rated at 250 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• Compact Snap-in Package Snap-in terminal radial can designed for secure board mounting; one rank smaller case than LLS to support equipment downsizing. Physical size: L: 4 × D: 3.5 cm; Height seated max: 1.575 inch.
• Polarized Aluminum Electrolytic Polar construction with ±20% capacitance tolerance for general-purpose power applications.
• Operating Temperature & Endurance Specified for −40 °C to 85 °C operation with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C (DC bias plus rated ripple current applied as specified).
• Ripple Current Handling Rated ripple current of 4.25 A at 120 Hz and 6.375 A at 100 kHz to support AC ripple filtering and decoupling under load.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics Built to meet leakage current and tan δ limits defined in the LLG series specifications (leakage I ≤ 3√CV after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tan δ limits per rated voltage range).
• RoHS Compliance Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in power supply stages where a polarized aluminum electrolytic is appropriate.
• Compact power supplies — Sized to support equipment downsizing efforts with a smaller case footprint compared to LLS series parts.
• Downsized industrial and commercial equipment — Use where space-constrained designs require high capacitance and reliable endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Smaller case footprint: One rank smaller case than the LLS series helps reduce board space for compact designs.
• High-voltage capability: 250 V rating provides margin for higher-voltage DC applications within the LLG series range.
• Robust ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (4.25 A @ 120 Hz, 6.375 A @ 100 kHz) support demanding AC ripple environments.
• Defined endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions gives a predictable lifetime metric for thermal-stress planning.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Radial snap-in terminals provide stable mechanical retention for through-hole assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regions requiring restricted-substance compliance.
