LGU1J152MELZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LGU1J152MELZ is a 1500 µF, 63 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can snap-in package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 3000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting. The part is active and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements change, inventory constraints occur, or performance specifications need adjustment while maintaining circuit compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LGU1J152MELZ is determined by the following critical parameters: capacitance value (1500 µF), voltage rating (63 V minimum), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (10.00mm), mounting type (through hole), and package configuration (radial, can snap-in). Parts are grouped into three categories based on substitution type:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. These parts are interchangeable without circuit modification.

Upgrade Parts increase voltage rating or lifetime while maintaining all other parameters. These provide enhanced performance margins and are suitable for applications requiring higher reliability or voltage headroom.

Similar Parts vary in physical dimensions (case diameter and height) while maintaining electrical specifications. These require PCB layout verification before substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Substitution (LGY1J152MELZ30): This Nichicon part maintains identical physical dimensions and lead spacing as the LGU1J152MELZ while extending lifetime to 5000 hours at 105°C. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active products. This substitution is suitable when extended operational life is required without PCB modification.

Voltage Upgrade Substitution (LGU1K152MELZ): The LGU1K152MELZ increases voltage rating to 80 V while maintaining the same physical footprint and 3000-hour lifetime. This part is ROHS3 compliant and active. Use this substitution when circuit design requires higher voltage margin or when the original 63 V rating presents insufficient safety factor.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitution (SLP152M063A3P3): The Cornell Dubilier Electronics SLP152M063A3P3 provides equivalent electrical performance with identical lead spacing and case diameter. Height is reduced to 1.181 inches (30.00mm). This part is ROHS3 compliant and active. Verify PCB clearance before substitution due to height variation.

Similar Dimension Substitution (LGU1J152MELA, LGY1J152MELA25): These Nichicon parts increase case diameter to 0.984 inches (25.00mm) and reduce height to 1.063 inches (27.00mm). Both maintain 10.00mm lead spacing and 63 V rating. LGY1J152MELA25 extends lifetime to 5000 hours. PCB layout verification is required before substitution due to dimensional changes.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and through-hole mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGY1J152MELZ30 replace LGU1J152MELZ without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical physical dimensions (0.866" diameter, 1.260" height, 10.00mm lead spacing), voltage rating (63 V), capacitance (1500 µF), and tolerance (±20%). The LGY1J152MELZ30 provides extended lifetime (5000 hours vs. 3000 hours at 105°C) and is a direct drop-in replacement.

Q: What is the key difference between LGU1K152MELZ and LGU1J152MELZ?

A: The LGU1K152MELZ increases voltage rating from 63 V to 80 V. All other parameters remain identical: 1500 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C, and physical dimensions. This upgrade is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage headroom.

Q: Can SLP152M063A3P3 be used as a direct replacement?

A: SLP152M063A3P3 maintains electrical equivalence and identical lead spacing (10.00mm) and case diameter (0.866"). However, height is reduced to 1.181 inches (30.00mm) compared to 1.260 inches (32.00mm) for the LGU1J152MELZ. Verify PCB clearance and component placement before substitution.

Q: Why do LGU1J152MELA and LGY1J152MELA25 have different physical dimensions?

A: These parts use a larger case diameter (0.984" vs. 0.866") and shorter height (1.063" vs. 1.260"). Lead spacing remains 10.00mm. These dimensional changes require PCB layout verification. LGY1J152MELA25 additionally provides 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the LGU1J152MELZ.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution?

A: Capacitance (1500 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (minimum 63 V), lead spacing (10.00mm), mounting type (through hole), and package configuration (radial, can snap-in) must be maintained for electrical and mechanical compatibility.
