LLS1K103MELC

The LLS1K103MELC is a Nichicon LLS series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal radial can package. It is a polarized, general-purpose capacitor rated 10 mF at 80 V, built for applications that require robust ripple-current handling and long-term endurance at elevated temperatures.

Designed for 85°C standard operation, this snap-in capacitor offers high ripple-current performance and a 3000-hour endurance specification at 85°C under rated ripple-current conditions, making it suitable for equipment requiring reliable bulk capacitance and smoothing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 10 mF nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal type and radial can package for secure board mounting and straightforward installation.
• High Ripple-Current Capability — Rated ripple current: 6.63 A at 120 Hz and 7.625 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under heavy AC ripple loads.
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with endurance validated for 3000 hours at 85°C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance change remains within ±20% after the endurance test.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) for the 80 V rating is specified with a maximum of 0.20 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Equipment — Bulk capacitance and ripple smoothing in power supplies and power-conditioning modules where a polarized 10 mF, 80 V capacitor is required.
• Industrial Electronics — Energy storage and decoupling in industrial control systems that operate within −40°C to +85°C and demand sustained ripple-current performance.
• Power Conversion & Filtering — DC link smoothing and filtering in converters and inverters that benefit from the capacitor's high ripple-current ratings and long endurance at 85°C.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 85°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current, providing predictable long-term performance under elevated temperature stress.
• High Ripple Handling: Measured ripple currents of 6.63 A (120 Hz) and 7.625 A (50 kHz) support demanding AC ripple conditions without rapid degradation.
• Amplitude and Stability: ±20% capacitance tolerance and specified tan δ (max. 0.20 at 80 V) offer stable electrical characteristics for repeatable designs.
• Installation Reliability: Snap-in radial can package simplifies mounting and secures the capacitor for applications with higher mechanical or thermal stress.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports deployment in regions requiring restricted substance compliance.
