LLG2Z152MELC30

The LLG2Z152MELC30 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LLG series, featuring a snap‑in terminal radial can package and a rated capacitance of 1500 µF at 180 V. It is designed for general‑purpose use where compact size, long endurance and robust ripple handling are required.

Key electrical characteristics include ±20% capacitance tolerance, low leakage current, rated ripple current of 3.3 A at 120 Hz and 4.95 A at 100 kHz, and a 2000‑hour endurance at 85 °C. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for mass production environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 1500 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 180 V, with tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Snap‑in Terminal Package: Radial, can‑snap‑in mounting type for secure PCB installation and suitability for through‑hole assemblies.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 3.3 A at 120 Hz and 4.95 A at 100 kHz, supporting both low and high frequency ripple conditions.
• Endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with specified limits for capacitance change, dissipation factor and leakage.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Specified operating range from −40 °C to +85 °C (for the 180 V rating).
• Compact Footprint: Size φ35 × 30 mm (diameter × length) for equipment downsizing; LLG series is specified as a smaller‑sized snap‑in family.
• Low Leakage Current: Specified leakage current performance (measured after rated voltage application), supporting stable DC behavior in general‑purpose circuits.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements as stated for the LLG series.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Supply Filtering: Provides bulk capacitance and ripple smoothing for general‑purpose power supplies and DC bus circuits.
• Industrial Equipment: Suitable for general industrial electronic equipment that requires high ripple handling and long endurance at 85 °C.
• Mass Production Electronic Assemblies: Tray packing and snap‑in mounting make this part appropriate for higher‑volume through‑hole assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Ripple Performance: Distinct ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz (3.3 A and 4.95 A respectively) allow designers to assess suitability for both mains‑frequency and higher‑frequency ripple environments.
• Endurance Characterized at 85 °C: 2000‑hour endurance specification under DC bias plus rated ripple current provides a clear reliability target for thermal stress conditions.
• Compact, Snap‑in Form Factor: φ35 × 30 mm size in a snap‑in radial can supports equipment miniaturization while keeping a secure mechanical mounting.
• Measured Leakage and Dissipation Limits: Leakage current and dissipation factor specifications enable predictable DC performance and thermal planning in designs.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to applicable RoHS directives for regulatory alignment in regulated markets.
