LLS2C152MELC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LLS2C152MELC 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 a through-hole configuration. The part is active and in stock, with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 85°C. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, application thermal requirements, or design optimization needs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LLS2C152MELC is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance: 1500 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage - Rated: 160 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 1.378" Dia (35.00mm) (exact match required)
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.181" (30.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)

The substitute part LGU2C152MELC meets all mechanical and electrical equivalence criteria. Differences in operating temperature range, lifetime rating at elevated temperature, and ripple current specifications do not affect interchangeability for applications within the LLS2C152MELC's specified operating envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both LLS2C152MELC and LGU2C152MELC are active products from Nichicon with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts is based on application requirements:

The LLS2C152MELC is suitable for applications operating within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range with standard ripple current demands.

The LGU2C152MELC extends the operating temperature range to 105°C and provides rated lifetime at elevated temperature, making it applicable for thermal environments requiring enhanced temperature performance. The LGU series exhibits lower ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz compared to the LLS series.

Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within their respective thermal and ripple current specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGU2C152MELC replace LLS2C152MELC in any application?

A: LGU2C152MELC is mechanically and electrically interchangeable with LLS2C152MELC. The substitute part maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, package dimensions, and lead spacing. Selection depends on application operating temperature and ripple current requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range (LLS: -40°C to 85°C; LGU: -40°C to 105°C) and ripple current ratings. The LGU series is rated for higher ambient temperatures and provides lifetime rating at 105°C versus 85°C for the LLS series.

Q: Are both parts suitable for PCB mounting?

A: Both parts are through-hole mounted components with identical lead spacing of 0.394" (10.00mm) and package dimensions. They are directly compatible with PCB layouts designed for either part number.

Q: Do these parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both LLS2C152MELC and LGU2C152MELC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: For applications requiring sustained operation above 85°C, LGU2C152MELC is the appropriate selection due to its extended operating temperature range to 105°C and corresponding lifetime rating at elevated temperature.
