LLG2C102MELZ40

The LLG2C102MELZ40 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LLG series, featuring a snap-in terminal package designed for space-conscious designs. It delivers 1 mF capacitance at a 160 V rating and is sized to support equipment downsizing while maintaining robust power-handling characteristics.

Targeted for general-purpose power electronics, this capacitor combines high capacitance and rated voltage with snap-in mounting for secure PCB retention, an operating temperature range of –40 °C to 85 °C, and RoHS compliance for modern manufacturing requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage, suitable for bulk energy storage and DC-link applications in general-purpose equipment.
• Compact Snap‑In Package — Radial, can-style snap-in mounting enables reliable board attachment and accommodates equipment downsizing; physical size approximately φ22 × 40 mm (L: 4 × D: 2.2 cm).
• Temperature & Endurance — Operates from –40 °C to 85 °C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C when biased with rated voltage and ripple current applied.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 3 A at 120 Hz and 4.5 A at 100 kHz to support switching and DC power applications that impose AC ripple on the capacitor.
• Polarized Electrolytic Construction — Polarized design appropriate for DC smoothing and energy buffering in power circuits; capacitance tolerance ±20%.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for lead-free manufacturing environments.

Typical Applications

• General Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage for DC power rails in consumer and industrial equipment.
• Power Conversion — DC-link and intermediate storage in inverters, converters, and other power-electronics modules where compact, high-capacitance components are required.
• Equipment Downsizing — Replacement where a smaller case than LLS is needed to reduce overall product footprint while retaining capacitance and ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• Smaller Case Size: One rank smaller case sizing than LLS to help reduce enclosure and PCB area without changing capacitance class.
• High Capacitance at 160 V: 1 mF rating at 160 V provides substantial bulk energy capacity for DC-link and smoothing roles.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents (3 A at 120 Hz, 4.5 A at 100 kHz) support both low-frequency and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Snap‑In Mounting: Radial snap-in terminals offer secure mechanical retention for assemblies subject to handling or vibration.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 2000 hours endurance at 85 °C under rated bias for reliable long-term operation in thermally demanding applications.
• RoHS‑Compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious manufacturing and end products.
