Overview of LLS1C273MELC – Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 16 V / 27 mF
The LLS1C273MELC is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal radial can designed for general-purpose power applications. It is an 85°C standard part rated at 16 V with 27 mF capacitance and polarized construction.
Engineered for sustained ripple handling and long-term operation, this capacitor withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for a range of industrial and commercial electronic assemblies that require reliable bulk capacitance and board-mount snap-in retention.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 27 mF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance, providing substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling.
- Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal mounting for secure PCB retention; package case described as radial, can - snap-in.
- Endurance & Ripple Performance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C; ripple current ratings of 4.82 A at 120 Hz and 5.543 A at 50 kHz.
- Operating Temperature Range — Rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
- Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current defined as I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; loss tangent (tan δ) max. 0.50 at 16 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Physical Dimensions — Body dimensions L: 3.0 cm × D: 3.5 cm, with a seated maximum height of 1.181 inches for PCB layout planning.
- Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- General Purpose Electronics — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in general-purpose equipment where a snap-in, board-mounted electrolytic capacitor is required.
Unique Advantages
- Robust Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents (4.82 A at 120 Hz, 5.543 A at 50 kHz) enable effective AC filtering and decoupling under sustained load conditions.
- Proven Endurance: Qualified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C, supporting longer service intervals in continuous-duty applications.
- Secure Snap-in Mounting: Radial snap-in can design provides mechanical stability on the PCB for applications subject to vibration or handling.
- Wide Operating Range: −40°C to +85°C operating temperature allows deployment across common industrial and commercial ambient environments.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports environmental and procurement requirements.
