LLG2Z102MELA35

The LLG2Z102MELA35 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLG snap-in series, optimized for compact equipment designs. It provides 1 mF capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage in a radial, snap-in can package—offering a smaller case size than the LLS series for equipment downsizing while maintaining robust performance.

Designed for general-purpose power applications, this polarized capacitor combines high ripple-current capability and a proven endurance profile to support DC bus smoothing, bulk energy storage and ripple filtering in industrial and commercial power systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage with a tolerance of ±20% (–20% to 20%).
• Snap-in Radial Package — Radial, can-type snap-in terminals simplify mounting and provide secure mechanical connection for through-panel or chassis-installed power modules.
• Compact Size for Downsizing — One rank smaller case than the LLS series, enabling reduced enclosure and board footprint for space-constrained equipment. Physical size: L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 2.7 A at 120 Hz and 4.05 A at 100 kHz to support high-ripple environments and switching power stages.
• Operating Temperature & Lifetime — Operates from –40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Leakage and Dissipation Characteristics — Leakage current specified by I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) maximum 0.15 for 160–400 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory requirements for lead-free assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage on 180 V rails, leveraging 1 mF capacitance and high ripple-current capability to stabilize DC outputs.
• Industrial Power Conversion — Support for input/output filtering and ripple suppression in inverters and converters where compact, durable capacitors are required.
• Commercial Equipment Downsizing — Enables smaller enclosures and PCB layouts by offering a reduced case size compared to the LLS series while retaining required capacitance and voltage rating.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving form factor: One-rank smaller case than LLS reduces enclosure and board footprint without sacrificing capacitance or rated voltage.
• High ripple-current tolerance: 2.7 A at 120 Hz and 4.05 A at 100 kHz support demanding switching environments and help limit temperature rise under ripple load.
• Robust endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 85°C under rated conditions provides predictable life performance for designed operating profiles.
• Reliable electrical characteristics: Leakage current governed by I ≤ 3√CV and tan δ limits (0.15 max for 160–400 V at 120 Hz) enable predictable behavior for filtering and smoothing tasks.
• Snap-in mounting for secure installation: Radial snap-in terminals deliver mechanical stability and straightforward assembly for panel- or chassis-mounted power modules.
• Regulatory conformity: RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements for modern commercial and industrial products.
