Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—LLG2E152MELC40, LGG2E152MELC40, and LLS2E152MELC—are Active product status and ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.

LGG2E152MELC40 provides extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and lifetime rating at 105°C, suitable for applications requiring higher temperature performance. Ripple current specifications are lower than the main part.

LLS2E152MELC offers extended lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 85°C versus 2000 Hrs @ 85°C) with comparable ripple current performance and slightly reduced seated height (1.575" versus 1.654"), providing design flexibility for space-constrained applications.

Selection between these substitutes depends on specific application requirements for temperature range, lifetime expectancy, and ripple current handling capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGG2E152MELC40 be used in place of LLG2E152MELC40?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (1500 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In), lead spacing (10.00 mm), and physical diameter (35.00 mm). The LGG series provides higher temperature operation (-40°C ~ 105°C) compared to the LLG series (-40°C ~ 85°C). Ripple current ratings differ; verify application requirements before substitution.

Q: Can LLS2E152MELC be used in place of LLG2E152MELC40?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (1500 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In), and lead spacing (10.00 mm). The LLS series provides extended lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 85°C) and slightly reduced seated height (1.575" versus 1.654"). Verify physical clearance in your application before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are lifetime ratings, operating temperature ranges, and ripple current specifications. LGG2E152MELC40 extends temperature operation to 105°C. LLS2E152MELC extends lifetime to 3000 hours at 85°C and reduces seated height by 0.079". Ripple current handling varies across all three parts.

Q: Are all three parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: The LLG2E152MELC40 and LGG2E152MELC40 are fully mechanically interchangeable with identical dimensions and lead spacing. The LLS2E152MELC has a reduced seated height (1.575" versus 1.654"), which may affect applications with tight vertical clearance constraints.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry Active product status, meeting current regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.
