LLG2Z332MELC45

The LLG2Z332MELC45 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LLG series, specified for general-purpose electronic equipment. It delivers 3.3 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 180 V in a compact, one-rank-smaller case designed to support equipment downsizing while maintaining robust electrical performance.

Designed for general-purpose applications, this RoHS-compliant capacitor balances bulk capacitance and ripple handling with a -40 °C to 85 °C operating range and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF rated capacitance at 180 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in general-purpose circuits.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in, radial can package for secure mechanical retention on the PCB and straightforward assembly.
• Compact Size for Downsizing — Part of the LLG series that is one rank smaller than LLS, enabling smaller-case designs; size (L × D): 4.5 × 3.5 cm.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 85 °C under endurance test conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 5 A at 120 Hz and 7.5 A at 100 kHz to support AC ripple and switching applications within specified limits.
• Tolerance & Polarity — ±20% capacitance tolerance and polarized construction; suitable where a polarized electrolytic capacitor is required.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment — Bulk capacitance and smoothing in assemblies where a compact, snap-in electrolytic is required.
• Power filtering — Use where 180 V DC rated voltage and high ripple handling (5 A @ 120 Hz / 7.5 A @ 100 kHz) are needed for ripple suppression within design limits.
• Equipment downsizing projects — The LLG series’ reduced case size compared to LLS helps shrink power and control modules without changing capacitor family.

Unique Advantages

• Compact form factor: One rank smaller case than LLS enables reduced PCB area and tighter enclosures for space-constrained designs.
• High ripple tolerance across frequencies: Provided ripple current ratings (5 A at 120 Hz, 7.5 A at 100 kHz) support both line-frequency and high-frequency ripple conditions within the specified limits.
• Robust temperature performance: Rated for -40 °C to 85 °C with a documented 2000-hour endurance at 85 °C, supporting sustained operation at elevated ambient temperatures.
• Secure snap-in mounting: Radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies mechanical retention and assembly for board-level power components.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restriction of hazardous substances.
