LLS1E153MELB

The LLS1E153MELB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package designed for general‑purpose power electronics. It provides 15 mF capacitance at a 25 V rating with polarized construction and is built for sustained ripple duty.

Key value comes from its high ripple endurance—rated to withstand 3000 hours of applied rated ripple current at 85°C—combined with RoHS compliance and a broad operating temperature range suitable for many industrial and electronic designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15 mF capacitance rated at 25 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power rails.
• Endurance & Ripple Performance — Specified to endure 3000 hours of applied rated ripple current at 85°C; ripple current capability of 4 A at 120 Hz and 4.6 A at 50 kHz.
• Temperature Range — Operating temperature from −40°C to +85°C (category range applicable for 16 to 250 V ratings), supporting a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Loss & Leakage Characteristics — Maximum tan δ of 0.40 at 25 V (measurement at 120 Hz, 20°C); leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C (per datasheet formula).
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can style with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (−20% to +20%); polarized construction for DC applications.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint — Physical size indicated as L: 3 × D: 3 cm for space planning on PCBs.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Bulk capacitance and smoothing where a 15 mF, 25 V polarized capacitor with high ripple endurance is required.
• Power Rail Filtering — Supports filtering and decoupling on DC supply lines that demand sustained ripple handling at elevated temperature.
• Industrial Power Modules — Suitable for designs that benefit from a snap‑in can package and long ripple‑duty lifetime at 85°C.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Endurance: Rated to withstand 3000 hours of applied rated ripple current at 85°C, which helps maintain performance under continuous ripple stress.
• Strong Ripple Current Capability: 4 A at 120 Hz and 4.6 A at 50 kHz enable effective handling of both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple components.
• Robust Temperature Operation: −40°C to +85°C operating range (applicable to the product family at this voltage), supporting varied environmental conditions.
• Measurable Loss/Leakage Limits: Specified tan δ and leakage current formula provide clear electrical loss and leakage expectations for design margining.
• Secure Snap‑in Packaging: Radial, can style with snap‑in terminals simplifies PCB retention and mechanical stability in assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in compliant electronic products and assemblies.
