Overview of LLS1C333MELA – Aluminum Electrolytic Snap‑In Capacitor, 16 V, 33 mF
The LLS1C333MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package rated for 16 V and 33 mF capacitance. It is an 85°C‑rated, general‑purpose component designed for applications that require robust bulk capacitance and high ripple handling in a snap‑in form factor.
Engineered for long‑life operation under continuous ripple load, this part withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C and is RoHS compliant.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 33 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Snap‑in Radial Can Package: Snap‑in terminal mounting for secure board retention and reliable mechanical connection in through‑hole assemblies.
- High Ripple Endurance: Rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C; frequency ripple current specifications include 5.49 A at 120 Hz and 6.314 A at 50 kHz.
- Operating Temperature Range: Specified for –40°C to +85°C operation.
- Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current meets I ≤ 3√(C×V) μA after 5 minutes' application of rated voltage at 20°C (C in μF, V in volts), per the datasheet standard.
- Dielectric Loss (tan δ): Maximum tan δ of 0.50 at 16 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), providing a defined dielectric loss parameter for design verification.
- Polarized Device: Conventional polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for bulk energy storage and filtering in DC circuits.
- RoHS Compliant: Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.
- Physical Size: Nominal body dimensions approximately L: 5 cm × D: 2.5 cm for board‑level planning and layout.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose power filtering: Bulk capacitance and ripple handling for smoothing and decoupling in power supplies and DC power rails.
- Industrial electronics: Board‑mounted energy storage and filtering in general‑purpose industrial control equipment.
- Power conversion modules: Input/output smoothing where snap‑in mounting and high ripple endurance are required.
Unique Advantages
- Long ripple endurance: Rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C, supporting designs that require sustained ripple performance.
- High ripple current capability: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow designers to size parts against expected AC stress.
- Snap‑in mounting for reliability: Snap‑in terminals provide robust mechanical retention and simplified insertion for through‑hole assemblies.
- Clear electrical limits: Datasheet leakage current and tan δ limits allow straightforward verification against system requirements.
- Wide ambient range: –40°C to +85°C operating range supports a broad set of general‑purpose electronic environments.
- RoHS compliance: Conforms to current RoHS directives for restricted substances.
