LLG2C122MELA35

The LLG2C122MELA35 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor from Nichicon's LLG series. It offers a compact radial can snap-in package engineered to support equipment downsizing while delivering 1.2 mF of capacitance at a 160 V rating.

Designed for general-purpose electronic applications, this polarized capacitor combines a space-saving footprint with rated performance characteristics including a wide operating temperature range and defined ripple-current capability.

Key Features

• Snap-In Terminal Package Radial, can-style snap-in termination for secure board mounting and ease of assembly in through-hole layouts.
• Compact LLG Series Form Factor One rank smaller case size than the LLS series, suited for equipment downsizing and constrained PCB space (size: L 3.5 × D 2.5 cm).
• Electrical Specification 1.2 mF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and polarization appropriate for DC energy storage and smoothing roles.
• Temperature Range and Endurance Operating temperature –40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated bias and ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 3.25 A at 120 Hz and 4.875 A at 100 kHz, supporting steady ripple handling in power circuits.
• Tolerance and Leakage Capacitance tolerance ±20% and leakage current specified per series guidelines (I ≤ 3√CV μA after rated voltage application).
• RoHS Compliance Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment — Used where polarized DC energy storage and smoothing are required within constrained enclosure or PCB space.
• Space-constrained power modules — Compact LLG package supports equipment downsizing while maintaining required capacitance and ripple performance.
• Industrial control and instrumentation — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling for long-duration operation in environments within –40 °C to +85 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving form factor: One-rank smaller case than the LLS series enables reduced board footprint without sacrificing capacitance.
• Defined ripple performance: Rated ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies give predictable thermal and electrical behavior in design calculations.
• Endurance-backed reliability: 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions provides a measurable lifecycle benchmark for long-term designs.
• Wide operating temperature: –40 °C to +85 °C operational range supports deployment across typical commercial and industrial temperature environments.
• Compliance-ready: RoHS conformity supports regulatory requirements for restricted substances in many product lines.

Why Choose LLG2C122MELA35?

The LLG2C122MELA35 balances compact packaging and substantive capacitance for designers who need 1.2 mF at 160 V in a snap-in radial can. Its LLG-series smaller case size makes it a practical choice when reducing equipment size is a priority, while specified ripple current and endurance data allow engineers to size thermal and lifetime margins accurately.

Manufactured by Nichicon, this component is targeted at designers building general-purpose and industrial electronic systems that require reliable DC energy storage, smoothing, and predictable performance across a broad temperature range.
