Overview of LQSW6151MELA30 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap-in, 420V, 150µF
The LQSW6151MELA30 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for high-speed charge–discharge duty. It delivers 150 µF capacitance at a 420 V rated voltage and is optimized for applications that require durable high-voltage energy buffering.
Targeted use cases include industrial power electronics such as AC servomotors and general inverters, equipment operating in voltage-fluctuating environments, and rectifier circuits such as voltage doublers. Key value propositions include high-voltage capability, high ripple handling across frequency, charge–discharge endurance, and operation up to 105°C.
Key Features
- Nominal Capacitance — 150 µF with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Rated Voltage — 420 V DC for high-voltage DC link and energy storage applications.
- High-speed charge–discharge — Designed for repeated charge–discharge cycles; endurance verified for 50 million charge–discharge cycles at room temperature (6 Hz, charge–discharge voltage = rated voltage + 0.35 V).
- Wide operating temperature — Specified for continuous operation from –25°C to +105°C.
- Guaranteed endurance — 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated DC bias plus rated ripple current, with defined limits on capacitance change, dissipation factor, and leakage.
- Ripple current performance — 840 mA at 120 Hz and 1.201 A at 50 kHz to support both low-frequency and high-frequency ripple conditions.
- Leakage and dissipation characteristics — Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ max 0.15 at 420 V (120 Hz, 20°C).
- Package & mounting — Radial can with snap-in terminals for secure board mounting; compact dimensions (L: 3 × D: 2.5 cm).
- Environmental compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Industrial drives and inverters — Energy buffering and DC-link smoothing for AC servomotor and general inverter systems where frequent charge–discharge events occur.
- Regenerative power circuits — Suited to high-frequency regenerative voltages encountered in motor regeneration and energy recovery circuits.
- Voltage-doubler rectifiers — Use in rectifier circuits that require reliable high-voltage smoothing and surge handling.
- Equipment in fluctuating-voltage environments — Provides stable capacitance and controlled leakage under variable supply conditions.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 420 V rating enables use in DC-link and high-voltage energy storage applications without additional series components.
- Proven charge–discharge endurance: Endurance testing to 50 million cycles supports designs with intensive regenerative or pulsed loads.
- Thermal robustness: Continuous operation to 105°C with 3000-hour endurance under rated conditions supports long-term reliability in hot operating environments.
- Broad ripple handling: Specified ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 50 kHz let designers account for both line-frequency and high-frequency switching ripple.
- Secure PCB mounting: Snap-in radial can format simplifies assembly and provides mechanical stability for power-electronics boards.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity ensures suitability for designs requiring restricted-substance compliance.
