Equivalent & Substitute Parts for LGG2C152MELB35

Part Overview

The LGG2C152MELB35 is a 1500 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can snap-in package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is designed for general purpose applications requiring high capacitance and voltage ratings in through-hole configurations. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, design flexibility, or application-specific performance needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Capacitance: Must be 1500 µF (±20% tolerance acceptable)
• Voltage Rating: Must be 160 V or higher
• Package Type: Must be Radial, Can - Snap-In
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Lead Spacing: Must be 0.394" (10.00 mm)
• Polarization: Must be Polar
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C minimum and 105°C maximum
• Compliance: Must be ROHS3 compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in lifetime rating, ripple current specifications, and physical dimensions (diameter and height) are secondary considerations that do not prevent functional substitution when primary parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the LGG2C152MELB35 based on core electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Nichicon LGN2C152MELC30: Same manufacturer as the primary part. Offers extended lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 2000 Hrs). Physical dimensions differ slightly (1.378" diameter, 1.260" height). ROHS3 compliant.

Nichicon LGU2C152MELC: Same manufacturer as the primary part. Offers extended lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C) and higher ripple current capability (2.84 A @ 120 Hz, 4.26 A @ 50 kHz). Physical dimensions differ (1.378" diameter, 1.181" height). ROHS3 compliant.

Rubycon 160MXG1500MEFCSN30X35: Alternative manufacturer. Offers extended lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C). Operating temperature minimum is -25°C (versus -40°C for Nichicon parts). Physical dimensions match the primary part (1.181" diameter, 1.457" height). ROHS3 compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGN2C152MELC30 be used as a direct replacement for LGG2C152MELB35?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (1500 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (10.00 mm), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). Physical dimensions differ, but both are radial snap-in packages suitable for through-hole mounting. Verify PCB layout accommodates the larger diameter (35.00 mm versus 30.00 mm).

Q: What is the difference between LGU2C152MELC and LGG2C152MELB35?

A: Core electrical parameters are identical. LGU2C152MELC provides higher ripple current ratings (2.84 A @ 120 Hz and 4.26 A @ 50 kHz) and extended lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C). Physical height is shorter (1.181" versus 1.457"). Both maintain 10.00 mm lead spacing and -40°C ~ 105°C operating range.

Q: Can the Rubycon 160MXG1500MEFCSN30X35 replace the Nichicon LGG2C152MELB35?

A: Yes, for applications operating above -25°C. Both parts have identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and physical dimensions (30.00 mm diameter, 37.00 mm height). The Rubycon part has a narrower minimum operating temperature (-25°C versus -40°C). Lead spacing and mounting type are identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. LGG2C152MELB35, LGN2C152MELC30, LGU2C152MELC, and 160MXG1500MEFCSN30X35 are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What should I consider when selecting between these parts?

A: Verify PCB layout constraints for physical dimensions (diameter and height). If operating temperature minimum is -40°C, use Nichicon parts. If higher ripple current is required, LGU2C152MELC provides superior performance. If extended lifetime is critical, all three substitutes offer 3000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 2000 Hrs for the primary part.
