LLS1C273MELB

The LLS1C273MELB from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LLS series, rated at 27 mF and 16 V. It is built for general-purpose electronic designs that require polarized, high-capacitance components with robust ripple-current endurance.

Designed for through-hole snap-in mounting, this radial can-type capacitor combines a compact footprint with specified performance across an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 27 mF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rated voltage suitable for low-voltage power applications requiring bulk capacitance.
• Thermal & Operating Range — Operating temperature range from −40 °C to 85 °C; 85 °C standard rating.
• Endurance / Ripple Current Capability — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of application of rated ripple current at 85 °C; ripple current specifications include 4.95 A at 120 Hz and 5.692 A at 50 kHz.
• Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can (snap-in) package designed for secure through-hole board mounting.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized electrolytic design for applications requiring DC polarity attention.
• Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Dimensions — Body dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 3 cm; maximum seated height 1.378 inch.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple-current endurance for a wide range of PCB-based power and energy storage needs in standard electronic products.
• Power supply filtering — Use where steady DC smoothing and sustained ripple handling are required within the 16 V rating and specified ripple currents.
• Industrial control equipment — Suitable for general-purpose industrial designs that require through-hole snap-in mounting and long-duration ripple endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Long ripple-current endurance: Rated to withstand 3000 hours of applied rated ripple current at 85 °C, supporting long-term performance under continuous ripple stress.
• High ripple-current capability: Specified ripple currents of 4.95 A at 120 Hz and 5.692 A at 50 kHz allow the capacitor to handle significant AC components in DC circuits.
• Wide operating temperature span: −40 °C to 85 °C operation covers standard industrial and commercial ambient conditions.
• Snap-in radial package: Designed for reliable through-hole mounting and secure board retention in assembly environments that use snap-in cans.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS directives for environmentally restricted substance requirements.
