LLG2Z122MELC25

The LLG2Z122MELC25 is a Nichicon LLG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, smaller-sized can designed to support equipment downsizing. This polarized, radial snap-in component provides 1.2 mF capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage and is intended for general-purpose power applications that require compact energy storage and high ripple handling.

Designed for operation from −40°C to +85°C and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), the LLG2Z122MELC25 combines a reduced case footprint with endurance suitable for demanding industrial and commercial equipment environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF (1200 μF) rated at 180 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• Snap-In Radial Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can package for secure through-hole mounting and reliable mechanical retention on PCBs.
• Compact, Smaller Case — One rank smaller case size than the LLS series, enabling equipment downsizing and denser board layouts. Physical size: L: 2.5 cm × D: 3.5 cm.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operates from −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 3 A at 120 Hz and 4.5 A at 100 kHz to support ripple-heavy power supply applications.
• Polarized with ±20% Tolerance — Standard polarization and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable design margins.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for material compliance.

Typical Applications

• Compact Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage where a reduced case size helps shrink overall PSU footprint.
• Industrial Control Equipment — Power filtering and decoupling in general-purpose control and automation systems operating within −40°C to +85°C.
• Commercial Electronics — General-purpose smoothing and ripple handling for equipment that benefits from snap-in through-hole mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Smaller Case for Downsized Equipment — One rank smaller than comparable LLS parts, enabling designers to reduce enclosure and chassis size without changing capacitor family characteristics.
• High Ripple Capability — Measured ripple ratings at both low and high frequencies (3 A at 120 Hz, 4.5 A at 100 kHz) support robust filtering in ripple-prone supplies.
• Through-Hole Snap-In Reliability — Snap-in radial construction provides solid mechanical mounting and simplified PCB assembly for medium-power designs.
• Temperature-Endurance Balance — Rated for continuous operation up to 85°C with a 2000-hour endurance specification, suitable for many industrial and commercial duty cycles.
• Standards Compliance — RoHS compliance helps meet regulatory requirements for material content in commercial and industrial products.
