LLS1E682MELA

The LLS1E682MELA is a Nichicon LLS series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in radial can package. It is a polarized, general-purpose component rated at 6.8 mF and 25 V, designed for assemblies that require robust bulk capacitance with snap-in board mounting.

Built to the LLS series 85 °C standard, this part withstands 3,000 hours of rated ripple current at 85 °C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for designs operating within the specified temperature and endurance envelope.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 6.8 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V, with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C for the series).
• Snap-In Radial Can Package: Snap-in terminal mounting and radial can form factor (L: 2.5 × D: 2.5 cm) for secure PCB retention and straightforward assembly.
• 85 °C Endurance: Endurance rating of 3,000 hours at 85 °C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current applied, meeting the series' specified post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 2.47 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.841 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with significant AC ripple stress.
• Operating Temperature Range: Specified operating range from −40 °C to +85 °C for the rated voltage and series conditions.
• Leakage Current Specification: Series leakage current guideline I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C, enabling predictable leakage behavior in designs.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory requirements for restricted substances.
• Identification: Marked with white letters on a black sleeve per series marking practice for easy visual identification.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics (snap-in mounting): Intended for general-purpose circuits where snap-in radial can capacitors are required for board-mounted bulk capacitance.
• Environments up to 85 °C: Suitable for equipment and assemblies that operate within the −40 °C to +85 °C temperature range specified for this part.
• Power-handling Circuits: Applicable where rated ripple current handling (2.47 A @120 Hz, 2.841 A @50 kHz) and polarized bulk capacitance are needed.

Unique Advantages

• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated to endure 3,000 hours at 85 °C under rated ripple and bias, providing a measurable reliability baseline for thermal stress environments.
• High Ripple Current Ratings: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies allow designers to size capacitance for real-world AC stress conditions.
• Secure Snap-In Mounting: Snap-in terminals and radial can package simplify PCB assembly and mechanical retention compared with loose-leaded options.
• Predictable Leakage Behavior: Leakage current bounded by the series formula I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after initial voltage application, helping with power-loss and bias calculations.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in markets that require restricted-substance conformity.
• Clear Identification: White-on-black sleeve marking eases part verification during manufacturing and service.
