LLG2E102MELA50

The LLG2E102MELA50 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLG series, offering 1 mF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a compact radial can snap-in package. It is designed for general-purpose applications and is specifically noted as one rank smaller in case size than the LLS series, making it suited for equipment downsizing while maintaining rated performance.

This part provides polarized capacitance with a tolerance of ±20%, RoHS compliance, and specified ripple-current capability across both low- and high-frequency conditions.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance 1 mF rated capacitance at 250 V DC with a tolerance of -20% to +20% for predictable bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package Snap-in terminal type in a radial can package for secure board mounting and mechanical stability in vertical assemblies.
• Compact Form Factor One rank smaller case than the LLS series, enabling reduced footprint for space-constrained designs; size dimension listed as L: 5 × D: 2.5 cm.
• Ripple Current Capability Specified ripple current of 3.32 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.98 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support filtering and ripple-handling requirements.
• Temperature and Endurance Operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Polarized Design & Leakage Polarized capacitor with leakage current specified by series characteristics and standard JIS/Japanese industry test conditions.
• Environmental Compliance Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for use in regulated product designs.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Circuits — For general-purpose designs requiring 1 mF at 250 V in a snap-in aluminum electrolytic package with RoHS compliance.
• Equipment Downsizing — The smaller case size compared with LLS supports reduced enclosure and PCB footprint in space-constrained assemblies.
• Ripple Filtering and Bulk Energy Storage — Specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz make this part suitable where continuous ripple accommodation and bulk capacitance are needed.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Snap‑in Mounting: One rank smaller case than LLS in a radial snap-in can provides a space-efficient, mechanically stable solution for vertical board mounting.
• Clear Voltage and Capacitance Specification: 250 V rating combined with 1 mF capacitance and ±20% tolerance simplifies selection for designs requiring known bulk capacitance at medium-high voltage.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Published ripple current values (3.32 A at 120 Hz, 4.98 A at 100 kHz) allow designers to assess thermal and ripple handling against application loads.
• Durability at Elevated Temperature: Endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C under DC bias and ripple current provides a quantified reliability metric for thermal-stressed designs.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmentally regulated product lines.

Why Choose LLG2E102MELA50?
