LLG2Z152MELA45

The LLG2Z152MELA45 is an LLG-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a snap-in terminal design, optimized for equipment downsizing and general-purpose power applications. It provides 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage in a compact radial can snap-in package and is RoHS compliant.

Designed for engineers who need robust bulk capacitance with secure snap-in mounting, this part balances high ripple capability and proven endurance for demanding DC power environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated at 1.5 mF (1500 µF) with a 180 V nominal voltage and ±20% capacitance tolerance.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in mounting provides mechanical stability for high-current power assemblies and simplifies board insertion.
• Compact LLG Series Footprint — One rank smaller case size than the LLS series, suited for equipment downsizing and tighter layouts.
• Operating Range & Endurance — Specified for –40 °C to +85 °C operation with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 3.3 A at 120 Hz and 4.95 A at 100 kHz, supporting demanding smoothing and filtering tasks.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current follows I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C; series tan δ and impedance characteristics are specified in the LLG datasheet.
• Polarized, General-Purpose Electrolytic — Polarized design for DC bulk smoothing and energy storage in power circuits.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing — Bulk capacitance and high ripple current capability help reduce ripple and stabilize DC rails in power converters and supplies.
• DC-link and energy storage — Suitable for bulk storage in DC-link circuits where 1500 µF at 180 V is required for transient buffering and hold-up.
• Compact industrial equipment — Smaller LLG case enables denser assemblies and supports equipment downsizing while maintaining performance.
• General-purpose commercial electronics — Useful where polarized electrolytic capacitors are needed for filtering, decoupling, or energy buffering within –40 °C to +85 °C environments.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving form factor: One-rank smaller case than LLS enables reduced enclosure volume without sacrificing capacitance.
• High ripple tolerance: 3.3 A (120 Hz) and 4.95 A (100 kHz) ripple ratings allow reliable operation under significant AC components on DC rails.
• Designed endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions provides predictable life for thermal-stressed applications.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Radial snap-in terminals deliver mechanical retention suitable for assemblies with vibration or handling concerns.
• Clear electrical specifications: Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√CV and series loss/tangent specifications enable straightforward design verification.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS directives for environmentally conscious designs.
