Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Nichicon LLS2Z152MELC is determined by the following criteria:

Upgrade Substitutes maintain identical capacitance (1500 µF) and tolerance (±20%), with increased voltage rating or enhanced thermal performance. These parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with identical lead spacing (10.00mm), package format (Radial, Can - Snap-In), and mounting type (Through Hole).

Similar Substitutes maintain identical capacitance (1500 µF), tolerance (±20%), and voltage rating (180 V), but differ in thermal performance characteristics. These parts share the same mechanical footprint and package specifications.

The following parameters are held constant across all substitute relationships:

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

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LLS2D152MELC (Upgrade Substitute): This part provides increased voltage rating (200 V versus 180 V) while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, and thermal lifetime specifications at 85°C. The upgrade path is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin or design optimization. All parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

LGU2Z152MELC (Similar Substitute): This part maintains the same voltage rating (180 V) and capacitance (1500 µF) as the main part but extends the operating temperature range to 105°C with 3000 hours lifetime at that elevated temperature. This substitution is applicable for thermal-constrained applications. All parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Both substitute parts share identical mechanical specifications, lead spacing, and package format, ensuring direct compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mounting hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LLS2D152MELC replace LLS2Z152MELC in all applications?

A: LLS2D152MELC is mechanically and electrically compatible with LLS2Z152MELC. The higher voltage rating (200 V versus 180 V) provides additional voltage margin. Both parts maintain identical capacitance (1500 µF), tolerance (±20%), thermal lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 85°C), and mechanical footprint. Substitution is valid for applications operating at or below 180 V.

Q: What is the difference between LGU2Z152MELC and LLS2Z152MELC?

A: Both parts share identical capacitance (1500 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (180 V), and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is thermal performance: LGU2Z152MELC operates to 105°C with 3000 hours lifetime at that temperature, while LLS2Z152MELC operates to 85°C with 3000 hours lifetime at that temperature. LGU2Z152MELC is suitable for higher ambient temperature environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. LLS2Z152MELC, LLS2D152MELC, and LGU2Z152MELC are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Do substitute parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All parts maintain identical lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00mm), diameter (1.378" / 35.00mm), height (1.378" / 35.00mm), and snap-in package format. Direct PCB compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What ripple current specifications apply to each part?

A: LLS2Z152MELC: 4.02 A @ 120 Hz, 6.03 A @ 50 kHz. LLS2D152MELC: 4.06 A @ 120 Hz, 6.09 A @ 50 kHz. LGU2Z152MELC: 2.9 A @ 120 Hz, 4.35 A @ 50 kHz. Ripple current ratings differ based on series design and thermal characteristics.
