LLS1K222MELA

The LLS1K222MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLS series featuring a snap‑in terminal radial can and 85°C standard endurance. It provides 2.2 mF (2200 µF) of polarized bulk capacitance rated for 80 V with a ±20% tolerance.

Designed for general‑purpose applications that require bulk energy storage and sustained ripple handling, this part delivers a specified 3000‑hour endurance under rated ripple current at 85°C and is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF (2200 µF) rated at 80 V, ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Ripple‑current endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C to support sustained AC loading conditions.
• Ripple current values — 2.53 A at 120 Hz and 2.909 A at 50 kHz as provided for this part.
• Temperature range — Operating from −40°C to +85°C, matching the LLS series category temperature range for this voltage class.
• Low dissipation factor — tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C for the 80 V rating, supporting efficient energy storage with limited losses.
• Leakage current specification — Leakage current meets the series formula I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C, per datasheet guidance.
• Package & mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package for secure vertical PCB mounting; size dimension L: 3.0 cm × D: 2.5 cm.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863.
• Polarized device — Intended for DC polarity applications where polarized electrolytic capacitors are required.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and energy buffering for designs that specify a polarized electrolytic solution at up to 80 V.
• High ripple environments — Suited to circuits that require sustained ripple current capability, supported by a 3000‑hour ripple endurance at 85°C.
• Industrial and equipment assemblies — Radial snap‑in packaging facilitates vertical PCB mounting in instrument and equipment power stages where reliable bulk capacitance is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Proven ripple endurance: 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current reduces risk of premature performance degradation in AC‑loaded applications.
• High working voltage: 80 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage DC circuits within the LLS series voltage spectrum.
• Measurable loss performance: tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C gives a clear, verifiable dissipation limit for thermal and efficiency calculations.
• Clear leakage specification: Leakage current follows the I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA rule after 5 minutes at 20°C, enabling predictable end‑of‑line and startup behavior.
• Snap‑in radial package: Robust mechanical mounting for vertical PCB assembly and straightforward installation in power and control modules.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) supports restricted‑substance requirements in many commercial and industrial supply chains.
