LLG2C272MELB45

The LLG2C272MELB45 is a 2.7 mF (2700 μF), 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LLG series. It is a snap‑in terminal, radial can style capacitor designed to support equipment downsizing by using a one‑rank smaller case size compared with the LLS series.

Intended for general‑purpose power applications, this polarized capacitor delivers bulk energy storage with specified ripple handling and endurance for industrial and commercial electronics operating within the –40 °C to +85 °C range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 2.7 mF (2700 μF) rated at 160 V, suitable for bulk filtering and energy storage in medium‑voltage circuits.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package: Snap‑in terminal mounting simplifies board assembly and mechanical retention for high‑current applications.
• Compact, Space‑Saving Design: One rank smaller case size than LLS series to support equipment downsizing while retaining capacitance and performance.
• Operating Temperature & Endurance: Specified for –40 °C to +85 °C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple current of 4.9 A at 120 Hz and 7.35 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing of low‑ and high‑frequency ripple components.
• Electrical Stability & Loss: Capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max of 0.15 at 120 Hz (for 160 V rating).
• Leakage Current: Leakage current meets the series formula I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20 °C, supporting predictable power budgets.
• Polarized Construction: Polarized electrolytic design for DC bulk storage applications.
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering: Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in medium‑voltage DC power supplies and converters.
• Industrial Power Electronics: Energy storage and decoupling in motor drives, inverters, and control systems where long endurance at elevated temperature is required.
• Equipment Downsizing: Designs that require maintaining capacitance while reducing overall board real estate benefit from the LLG series’ smaller case size.
• High‑Frequency Ripple Management: Combined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple ratings make it suitable for applications with mixed ripple spectra.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑efficient form factor: One rank smaller case size than LLS helps designers reduce enclosure and board footprint without sacrificing capacitance.
• Predictable endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions provides a defined lifetime metric for thermal and reliability planning.
• Dual‑frequency ripple capability: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz enables designers to address both mains and switching‑frequency ripple with a single component.
• Measured electrical stability: Capacitance tolerance and tan δ specifications at 120 Hz provide clear performance expectations for filtering and timing circuits.
• Simple mechanical retention: Snap‑in terminals facilitate secure board mounting and streamline assembly for high‑throughput production.
