LLS1C223MELA

The LLS1C223MELA from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LLS series, offering 22,000 µF capacitance at 16 V with polarized construction. It is a general‑purpose, tray‑packed part engineered for applications requiring large bulk capacitance, high ripple tolerance and extended endurance at elevated temperatures.

Key value propositions include robust low‑frequency and high‑frequency ripple handling, a 3,000‑hour endurance rating at 85°C, and RoHS compliance—features aimed at designers needing reliable bulk energy storage and smoothing in through‑hole assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 22,000 µF rated capacitance at 16 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in power systems.
• Ripple Current & Frequency Performance: Rated ripple current of 4,440 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 5,106 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) supports demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Specified to withstand 3,000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C when used under rated conditions, with defined limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage after endurance testing.
• Electrical Characteristics: ±20% capacitance tolerance, tan δ max of 0.50 at 16 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), and leakage current of 1,770 µA as supplied.
• Operating Range: Polarized device rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, suitable for applications within this thermal envelope.
• Package & Mounting: Radial can with snap‑in terminals (φ25 × 40 mm overall size, length 4.0 cm × diameter 2.5 cm) for secure through‑hole installation; tray packing for production handling.
• Compliance & Production Status: RoHS compliant and listed as mass production status, enabling predictable procurement and environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Filtering: Bulk smoothing and decoupling in power supplies and converters where high capacitance at 16 V is required.
• Energy Storage for DC Systems: Local energy storage and ripple suppression in DC bus circuits benefiting from the capacitor’s high ripple current ratings.
• Industrial Electronics Assemblies: Through‑hole snap‑in mounting and tray packing support assembly processes in production environments using polarized aluminum electrolytics.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance: 22,000 µF provides substantial charge reservoir capacity to stabilize voltages and reduce ripple in low‑voltage systems.
• Designed for Sustained Ripple Loading: Specified ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies enable reliable operation under continuous AC ripple stress.
• Proven Endurance: 3,000‑hour endurance at 85°C with defined post‑test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage, supporting long‑term performance assessment.
• Through‑Hole Mechanical Robustness: Snap‑in terminal can construction simplifies secure mounting in heavy‑current or vibration‑prone assemblies.
• Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production availability ease volume procurement and assembly integration.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant to support environmental requirements in product builds.
