LLG2C182MELB35

The LLG2C182MELB35 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLG series featuring a snap-in terminal design and compact case size (φ30 × 35 mm). It provides 1800 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 160 V with ±20% tolerance for general-purpose electronic use.

Designed for applications requiring substantial ripple handling and robust endurance, this part supports 4.2 A ripple at 120 Hz and 6.3 A ripple at 100 kHz, a leakage current of 1600 µA, and a rated life of 2000 hours at 85°C. The LLG series emphasizes smaller case sizing to aid equipment downsizing while remaining RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1800 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, suitable for bulk energy storage in tolerant circuits.
• Rated Voltage & Polarization — 160 V rated voltage; polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC applications requiring this voltage class.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 4.2 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 6.3 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), enabling use in circuits with significant AC ripple content.
• Endurance & Thermal Range — Qualified for 2000 hours at 85°C with specified endurance criteria; operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1600 µA (typical measurement conditions as per product data).
• Compact Snap-In Package — Radial can with snap-in terminals, φ30 × 35 mm case size, and tray packing for mass production and robust panel/board installation.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant as indicated in the product information.

Typical Applications

• High-ripple current circuits — Where up to 4.2 A (120 Hz) and 6.3 A (100 kHz) ripple handling is required, such as heavy filtering in power modules.
• Compact equipment designs — One rank smaller case size than the LLS series, making it suitable for applications targeting downsizing of power assemblies.
• General-purpose electronic assemblies — Suitable for general-purpose use where a 160 V, 1800 µF snap-in electrolytic capacitor with 2000 h endurance at 85°C is specified.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 4.2 A (120 Hz) and 6.3 A (100 kHz) reduce the need for parallel components in ripple-heavy designs.
• Compact form factor: φ30 × 35 mm snap-in package occupies less board space compared with larger equivalents, supporting equipment downsizing efforts.
• Long established endurance: 2000-hour life at 85°C provides predictable ageing characteristics for mid-temperature operating environments.
• Tray packing for production: Supplied in tray packing to support mass production handling and assembly efficiency.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements, simplifying regulatory management for assemblies.
