LLS1H682MELA

The LLS1H682MELA from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LLS series, rated 50 V with 6800 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It is a polarized, radial can-style capacitor designed for general-purpose applications that require high capacitance in a compact snap-in package.

Key value propositions include rated endurance under ripple stress (3000 hours at 85°C), RoHS compliance, and tray-packed mass-production availability, making it suitable where reliable bulk capacitance and straightforward board mounting are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6800 µF (6.8 mF) rated at 50 V with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Snap-in Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap-in mounting for secure board retention and easy mechanical installation in through-hole assemblies.
• Endurance under Ripple — Designed to withstand rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 85°C, supporting sustained operation under ripple stress.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 3.87 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 4.45 A (50 kHz), supporting a range of ripple conditions.
• Loss Characteristic — tanδ (DF) of 0.30 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, suitable for applications where dissipation factor is a selection consideration.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1740 µA after application of rated voltage (specified measurement conditions apply).
• Operating Temperature — Rated for −40°C to +85°C operation, per series category temperature range.
• Durability & Compliance — RoHS compliant and produced for mass production with tray packing.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose circuits — For designs that require 6.8 mF capacitance at a 50 V rating with snap-in mounting and ±20% tolerance.
• Ripple-stressed environments — Suitable where sustained ripple current capability is needed, given its 3000 h endurance at 85°C under rated ripple conditions.
• RoHS-compliant assemblies — Intended for assemblies requiring RoHS conformity and standard 85°C capacitor performance.
• Production-ready implementations — Tray packing and mass production status support higher-volume assembly and procurement workflows.

Unique Advantages

• Large capacitance at moderate voltage: 6.8 mF at 50 V provides substantial capacitance for applications that require bulk storage within the specified voltage rating.
• Long ripple endurance: Specified to withstand rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 85°C, offering predictable life performance under continuous ripple stress.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Explicit ripple-current ratings at both 120 Hz (3.87 A) and 50 kHz (4.45 A) allow selection for a variety of ripple-frequency conditions.
• Clear loss and leakage specifications: Defined tanδ (0.30 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and measured leakage current (1740 µA) simplify electrical design trade-offs and verification.
• Robust temperature range: −40°C to +85°C operating range enables use across standard ambient and enclosure conditions covered by the series specification.
• Manufacturing-friendly packaging: Tray packing and mass-production readiness streamline procurement and assembly integration.
