LLG2E102MELC30

The LLG2E102MELC30 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLG series, featuring a snap-in terminal radial can designed for compact equipment. It provides a 1 mF capacitance at a 250 V rating and is intended for general-purpose use where a smaller case size and robust ripple handling are required.

Built for equipment downsizing, this part combines a reduced case profile (one rank smaller than LLS), RoHS compliance, and specified endurance for high-temperature operation to support reliable performance in space-constrained designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1 mF rated capacitance at 250 V for applications requiring moderate energy storage in a single polarized capacitor.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package: Snap-in terminal construction in a radial, can-style package enables secure PCB mounting and handling suited to through-hole assemblies.
• Compact Size: One rank smaller case sized than LLS and physical dimensions L: 3 × D: 3.5 cm support equipment downsizing and tighter board layouts.
• Operating Temperature Range: Specified for –40 °C to +85 °C (applicable to the 250 V rating), allowing use across typical ambient and industrial temperature conditions.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 2000 hours at 85 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after endurance testing.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 3.32 A at 120 Hz and 4.98 A at 100 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple components.
• Polarized Device with Standard Tolerance: Polarized construction with capacitance tolerance of –20% to +20% for predictable design margins.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting current lead-free environmental standards.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics: Use where a polarized 1 mF, 250 V snap-in capacitor is required for energy storage or decoupling in compact circuits.
• Space-constrained power assemblies: The smaller case size and snap-in mount suit equipment downsizing efforts and denser PCB layouts.
• High-ripple environments: Suitable for circuits exposed to significant ripple currents, leveraging its rated ripple current at both low and high frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• Smaller case for downsizing: One rank smaller case than LLS reduces board footprint and supports compact product designs.
• Specified high-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions provides measurable reliability data for thermal-stressed designs.
• Dual-frequency ripple ratings: Ripple current specified at 120 Hz and 100 kHz enables designers to evaluate performance across typical power-conversion frequencies.
• Robust mounting: Snap-in radial can construction offers a secure mechanical and electrical mounting solution for through-hole assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental requirements for commercial and industrial products.
• Predictable electrical limits: Defined tolerance (–20% to +20%), leakage current specification, and endurance criteria simplify margining and life-cycle planning.
