LLG2E102MELB35

The LLG2E102MELB35 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLG series with a snap-in terminal radial can package. It provides 1 mF capacitance at a 250 V rating and is intended for general-purpose use where snap-in mounting and downward sizing of equipment are priorities.

Designed one rank smaller in case size than the LLS series, this part supports equipment downsizing while offering endurance and ripple handling characteristics appropriate for general-purpose power designs. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20% (±20%).
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in terminal radial can (snap-in) for board-level installation and secure mechanical retention.
• Operating Temperature — Specified operating range from −40°C to 85°C for the 160 to 250 V category.
• Endurance — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C when DC bias plus rated ripple current is applied; meets datasheet criteria for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage after endurance testing.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 3.32 A at 120 Hz and 4.98 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple handling at both low and high frequencies.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current defined as I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C (per datasheet formula).
• Compact Size — One rank smaller case than the LLS series, suitable for designs targeting reduced component footprint; nominal size listed as L: 3.5 × D: 3 cm.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power modules — Intended for general-purpose capacitor requirements in equipment that use snap-in mounted radial cans.
• Equipment downsizing — Suited for designs where one-rank-smaller case size compared to LLS helps reduce overall equipment volume.
• Assemblies requiring snap-in mounting — For PCB assemblies and subassemblies that employ snap-in terminal capacitors for mechanical and electrical connection.

Unique Advantages

• Space-efficient form factor: One rank smaller case size than LLS supports reduced equipment footprint without changing capacitor type.
• High-voltage capability: 250 V rated voltage enables use in higher-voltage general-purpose circuits within the series’ rated range.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz support effective AC ripple smoothing across typical frequency ranges.
• Endurance-proven: 2000 hours at 85°C endurance rating under DC bias plus rated ripple current with defined acceptance criteria for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage.
• Clear leakage spec: Leakage current governed by the datasheet formula I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C, enabling predictable leakage behavior for design calculations.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS directives ensuring regulatory alignment for environmentally conscious designs.
