LLG2C102MELA30

The LLG2C102MELA30 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LLG series. It provides 1000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact snap‑in can designed for general‑purpose power circuitry.

Engineered for equipment downsizing and reliable operation in demanding environments, this module combines high ripple handling, polarized snap‑in mounting, and endurance at elevated temperature for robust power filtering and energy storage in a range of applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, delivering predictable bulk capacitance for DC circuits.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 3.0 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.5 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting significant AC ripple handling in power stages.
• Endurance & Temperature — Rated for 2000 hours of endurance at 85°C; specified operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C for stable performance across typical industrial environments.
• Leakage Characteristics — Specified leakage current of 1200 µA, providing controlled DC leakage consistent with polarized aluminum electrolytic performance.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can package (φ25 × 30 mm / L: 3 × D: 2.5 cm) for secure board mounting and ease of assembly in through‑hole designs.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuits — Suited where a 160 V, 1000 µF polarized snap‑in capacitor is required for bulk capacitance and power bus decoupling.
• Down‑sized equipment designs — LLG series offers a smaller case profile relative to previous sizes, making this part appropriate for equipment where board space and compactness are priorities.
• Industrial and commercial electronics — Use in general‑purpose industrial or commercial equipment that requires robust ripple handling and endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Compact LLG series sizing — One rank smaller case sizing in the LLG family supports equipment downsizing without sacrificing capacitance.
• High ripple capacity — Dual ripple ratings (3.0 A at 120 Hz and 4.5 A at 100 kHz) enable effective suppression of low‑ and high‑frequency ripple components in power systems.
• Proven endurance at 85°C — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple, delivering documented life performance for thermal stress conditions.
• Secure snap‑in mounting — Radial snap‑in can design provides reliable mechanical retention for through‑hole assembly and high‑current applications.
• Controlled leakage — Specified leakage current (1200 µA) helps maintain predictable behavior in DC circuits and reduces the need for extensive derating.
• RoHS compliant — Meets environmental regulatory requirements for modern product designs.
