LAS2G151MELZ35

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are polarized types of electrolytic capacitors consisting of anodized aluminum plates acting as an anode. The aluminum oxide layer that forms on the surface is a direct result of the oxidation reaction taking place due to the anode. This layer of oxide acts as a dielectric material, thus forming a basic capacitor. The LAS2G151MELZ35 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor whose main purpose is to average current by buffering or smoothing out the ripple current.

The LAS2G151MELZ35 carries a few key features. It has a maximum operating voltage of 35V and a ripple current rating of 1750mA. Its capacitance is 150µF and its ESR rating is 45mΩ. The capacitor has an rated temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. It is quite compact compared to other aluminum electrolytic capacitors, measuring 15.3mm in diameter and 28.5mm in length. The construction of the capacitor includes an aluminum case, a snap-in lead frame and a spiral-shaped dielectric film separated by a paper spacer. It is also RoHS compliant.

Working Principle

The LAS2G151MELZ35 works on the basic principle of a capacitor. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor terminals, it traps electric charges which can then be released to instantly generate current waves. This capacitor works by buffering or smoothing out the ripple current from a direct current power source. It alters the current waves in a process known as wave-shaping. The electrical charges stored in the capacitor pile up to create a high-frequency ripple that passes through the capacitor rather than through the load. This reduces the amount of energy dissipated as heat inside the load, increasing the load\'s efficiency and protecting other components from the effects of ripple.

Application Fields

The LAS2G151MELZ35 is widely used in a variety of electronic applications. It is mainly used in automotive semiconductor circuits, including In-Vehicle Infotainment Systems (IVI), engine control modules, and lighting control systems. It is also used in DC-DC converters, power supplies, and HVAC systems.

Due to its features and high ripple current rating, the LAS2G151MELZ35 is ideal for applications that require efficient filtering and protection of sensitive circuits and microprocessors. It can also be used to smooth out the output of high current DC sources as can be used in audio and video equipment, including amplifiers, sound mixers, visual monitors, and digital cameras.

The LAS2G151MELZ35 capacitor can also be used in various medical equipment, such as patient monitors, diagnostic equipment, defibrillators, dialysis machines, thermometers, and ECG/EKG machines. It also has a variety of applications in commercial and industrial settings, where precision and high efficiency is of the utmost importance.
