Overview of LLS1C183MELB – Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 18,000 µF, 16 V
The LLS1C183MELB is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor engineered for general‑purpose applications requiring large capacitance at low DC voltage. It is a radial, can‑style snap‑in device rated for 16 V with 18,000 µF nominal capacitance and a ±20% tolerance.
Designed for board‑level bulk energy storage and filtering in mass production environments, the LLS1C183MELB combines high capacitance, snap‑in mounting, and a standard 85°C operating range to support stable operation in a wide range of general‑purpose equipment.
Key Features
- High Capacitance, Low Voltage 18,000 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage provides substantial bulk storage for low‑voltage power rails.
- Snap‑In Radial Can Package Snap‑in terminal mounting and radial can construction (φ30 × 30 mm / L: 3 cm × D: 3 cm) simplify PCB installation and mechanical retention for production assembly.
- Operating Temperature Range Specified for −40°C to +85°C to accommodate typical ambient conditions for general‑purpose electronics.
- Endurance at Elevated Temperature Withstands 3,000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C, providing verified life performance under sustained thermal and electrical stress.
- Polarized Construction Polarized electrolytic design suitable for DC applications where polarity is observed.
- Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 3.88 A at 120 Hz and 4.462 A at 50 kHz to support filtering and smoothing under AC ripple conditions.
- Leakage and Loss Characteristics Leakage current specification follows I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after standard voltage application; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) for 16 V units is specified (max. 0.50), supporting predictable AC behavior.
- RoHS Compliant Conforms to RoHS directive requirements for lead‑free material compliance.
- Production‑Oriented Packaging Tray packing suitable for mass production handling and assembly processes.
Typical Applications
- General‑Purpose Power Filtering Bulk capacitance for smoothing and decoupling on low‑voltage DC rails where 18,000 µF at 16 V is required.
- Board‑Level Energy Reserve Snap‑in mounting provides reliable mechanical retention for applications needing local energy storage on PCBs.
- Production Assemblies Tray packing and snap‑in terminals support high‑volume assembly workflows for general‑purpose electronic equipment.
Unique Advantages
- Large Bulk Capacitance in a Compact Can 18,000 µF nominal capacitance delivers substantial energy storage while occupying a φ30 × 30 mm footprint.
- Verified Thermal Endurance Rated to endure 3,000 hours at 85°C with rated ripple current, giving designers measurable longevity data for thermal stress planning.
- Clear Electrical Specifications Defined ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz and leakage current limits provide predictable behavior in power‑conditioning roles.
- Assembly‑Friendly Mounting and Packaging Snap‑in terminals and tray packing enable straightforward insertion and handling for automated or manual production lines.
- Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliance supports deployment in products requiring restricted‑substance adherence.
