LLG2C182MELC30

The LLG2C182MELC30 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLG series, featuring a snap‑in terminal radial can for board‑mounted installations. It delivers 1.8 mF (1800 µF) capacitance at a 160 V rating with polarized construction for general‑purpose electronic designs.

Designed one rank smaller than the LLS series, this LLG part is suited for equipment downsizing and RoHS‑compliant designs while providing defined ripple current capability and a 2000‑hour endurance at 85°C.

Key Features

• Compact LLG series design — One rank smaller case size than LLS, intended to help reduce overall equipment footprint.
• Electrical ratings — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) capacitance, 160 V rated voltage, and ±20% tolerance for stable bulk capacitance in polarized circuits.
• High ripple capability — Rated ripple current of 4.1 A at 120 Hz and 6.15 A at 100 kHz to support applications with significant AC components.
• Thermal and lifecycle performance — Operational range down to −40°C up to 85°C with an endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C under rated DC bias plus ripple current.
• Mounting and package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package for secure board installation and mechanical retention.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.
• Form factor — Size φD × L = 35 × 30 mm (3.5 × 3.0 cm) to support compact assemblies.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance where a polarized, high-capacitance 160 V component is required.
• Board-mounted power modules — Snap‑in radial can simplifies PCB mounting in assemblies that need robust mechanical retention and high ripple handling.
• Equipment downsizing projects — Smaller case size (one rank under LLS) helps reduce enclosure and board space in compact designs.
• RoHS‑compliant product lines — Suitable for designs that must meet RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving form factor: One-rank-smaller case size than LLS reduces required board and enclosure space for tighter designs.
• High bulk capacitance at elevated voltage: 1.8 mF at 160 V provides substantial energy storage for DC bus smoothing and decoupling in polarized circuits.
• Defined ripple performance: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz (4.1 A) and 100 kHz (6.15 A) enables designers to predict thermal and lifetime behavior under AC stress.
• Endurance-backed reliability: 2000 hours at 85°C under rated bias demonstrates component longevity for sustained operating conditions.
• Snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in can offers secure PCB attachment and straightforward integration into power assemblies.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports deployment in regulated markets without additional material restrictions.
