LLG2Z182MELA50

The LLG2Z182MELA50 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLG series featuring a snap‑in terminal radial can. It provides 1.8 mF capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage and is designed as a one‑rank smaller case than LLS, making it suited for equipment downsizing where board‑level packaging and reliable snap‑in mounting are required.

Built for general‑purpose power applications, the device offers specified ripple current performance and endurance for continuous operation up to 85 °C, while meeting RoHS environmental requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.8 mF nominal capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage, providing substantial bulk capacitance for general‑purpose power circuits.
• Compact, downsized package — One rank smaller case than LLS and a physical size of L: 5 × D: 2.5 cm, optimized for space‑constrained designs.
• Snap‑in, radial can — Snap‑in terminal type and radial can package for secure chassis or PCB assembly and straightforward mechanical installation.
• Ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 3.6 A at 120 Hz and 5.4 A at 100 kHz, specified for both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple conditions.
• Temperature range & endurance — Operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 85 °C under specified test conditions.
• Tolerance & polarity — Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and polarized construction for correct DC operation.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuits — Bulk energy storage and filtering where a 1.8 mF, 180 V capacitor with specified ripple ratings is required.
• Compact, down‑sized equipment — Designed specifically to support equipment downsizing, offering a smaller case footprint compared with LLS series parts.
• Snap‑in assemblies — Snap‑in radial can style for reliable mechanical retention in chassis or board assemblies requiring secure terminal mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑efficient bulk capacitance: 1.8 mF at 180 V in a 5 × 2.5 cm package and a one‑rank smaller case than LLS helps reduce enclosure and board area.
• Dual‑frequency ripple specification: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz (3.6 A) and 100 kHz (5.4 A) allow designers to assess performance across typical ripple spectra.
• Durability for elevated temperature operation: Rated for operation to 85 °C with a 2000‑hour endurance rating at that temperature, supporting sustained use in warm environments.
• Simple, reliable mounting: Snap‑in radial can package streamlines mechanical assembly and secures the capacitor in chassis or board mounting scenarios.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity reduces material compliance work for product supply chains and regulatory documentation.
