LLG2Z102MELZ40

The LLG2Z102MELZ40 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLG series, featuring a snap-in terminal radial can design and polarized construction. It is intended for general-purpose power applications and is especially suited for equipment downsizing thanks to a smaller case size than the LLS series.

Key value comes from its 1 mF capacitance at a 180 V rating, RoHS compliance, and design characteristics that balance ripple-handling capability with long-term endurance at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1 mF capacitance with a rated voltage of 180 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (−20% to +20%).
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple currents of 2.8 A at 120 Hz and 4.2 A at 100 kHz to support smoothing and decoupling in power circuits.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap-in terminal can for secure mechanical mounting and straightforward insertion into PCB designs.
• Operating Range — Specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C for the 160–250 V category (applicable to this 180 V product).
• Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 85 °C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current, with defined limits for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage after test.
• Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Equipment Downsizing — One rank smaller case than LLS makes this part suitable where reduced component footprint and compact power assemblies are required.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — 1 mF at 180 V supports bulk energy storage and smoothing in general-purpose power supply designs.
• Snap-in PCB Mounting — Radial, snap-in can suits through-hole boards that require robust mechanical retention for power components.

Unique Advantages

• Compact form factor: One rank smaller case size than LLS helps reduce enclosure and board area without changing series performance expectations.
• Measured ripple handling: Defined ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide quantifiable limits for thermal and electrical design trade-offs.
• Wide operating temperature coverage: −40 °C to +85 °C rating (for the 160–250 V range) supports deployment across typical industrial and commercial environments.
• Proven endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 85 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current with verifiable post-test limits for capacitance, dissipation factor, and leakage.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity aids in meeting environmental and product stewardship requirements.
