LLG2C821MELA25

The LLG2C821MELA25 is a Nichicon LLG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in (radial can) package, offering 820 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage. It is designed as a one-rank smaller case than the LLS series and is suited for equipment down sizing while delivering polarized, general-purpose bulk capacitance.

RoHS-compliant and specified for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C, this component targets applications that require a compact, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor with defined endurance and ripple performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 820 µF rated capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (–20% to +20%).
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal type for secure board retention and high-current handling in a radial, can-style package.
• Compact LLG Series Size — One rank smaller case compared to LLS, enabling equipment downsizing while maintaining bulk capacitance.
• Operating Temperature & Lifetime — Operates from –40 °C to +85 °C with a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions.
• Ripple Performance — Rated ripple current of 2.52 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.78 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting AC ripple and decoupling demands.
• Polarized, General-Purpose Use — Polarized electrolytic intended for general-purpose applications requiring bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Compact Power Systems — General-purpose bulk capacitance for compact electronic equipment where smaller case size is required and 160 V rating is appropriate.
• Equipment Downsizing Projects — Suited for designs that prioritize reduced component footprint while retaining electrolytic capacitance and voltage capability.
• General-Purpose Industrial Electronics — Use where polarized, high-capacitance components are needed within the specified temperature and lifetime constraints.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving form factor — One-rank smaller case size than LLS enables denser board layouts and reduced enclosure volume without changing fundamental capacitor type.
• High-voltage bulk capacitance — 820 µF at 160 V provides substantial stored energy for applications that require high-voltage smoothing or bulk decoupling.
• Defined endurance specification — 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions gives designers a clear reliability expectation for thermal stress planning.
• Dual-frequency ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support designers addressing both mains-frequency ripple and higher-frequency switching noise.
• Robust operating range — –40 °C to +85 °C operation covers a wide set of environmental conditions for general-purpose equipment.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance simplifies material selection for markets requiring restricted-substance conformity.
