LLG2Z272MELC40

The LLG2Z272MELC40 is a Nichicon LLG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal configuration. It provides 2700 µF capacitance at a 180 V rating in a compact φ35 × 40 mm can, optimized for equipment downsizing where reliable bulk energy storage and high ripple handling are required.

Designed for general‑purpose power applications, this RoHS‑compliant, snap‑in radial capacitor delivers high ripple current capability and a lifecycle rated to 2000 hours at 85°C, making it suitable for board‑level power filtering and DC energy storage in industrial and electronic equipment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2700 µF (2.7 mF) nominal capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for reliable bulk energy storage.
• Low‑loss Characteristic — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), enabling predictable dissipation performance in AC ripple environments.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 4.7 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 7.05 A at 100 kHz to handle demanding ripple and pulse loads.
• Leakage & Endurance — Specified leakage current 2090 µA and endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple current, with post‑test limits on capacitance, tan δ and leakage.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +85°C, matching the LLG series category temperature specifications for the 160–250 V range.
• Packaging & Mounting — Snap‑in radial, can‑style package (φ35×40 mm) with tray packing for board‑level snap‑in installation; part of the smaller‑sized LLG family suited for equipment downsizing.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and energy storage in power supplies where 2700 µF at 180 V and high ripple handling improve voltage stability.
• DC link and bus capacitors — Board‑level DC energy buffering in equipment that requires high ripple current endurance at both low and high frequencies.
• Equipment downsizing projects — Replacement or redesigns seeking a smaller case size (LLG family) while maintaining high capacitance and voltage rating.

Unique Advantages

• High stored energy per volume: 2700 µF at 180 V provides substantial bulk capacitance in a compact φ35×40 mm package.
• Robust ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 4.7 A (120 Hz) and 7.05 A (100 kHz) reduce temperature rise and improve reliability under AC loading.
• Endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours rated life at 85°C under DC bias and ripple current supports long‑term operation in demanding environments.
• Predictable dissipation: Specified tan δ of 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz) aids thermal and loss budgeting in power designs.
• Snap‑in mounting: Radial snap‑in terminals simplify board assembly for high‑current, high‑stability power designs.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmentally conscious designs.
