Overview of LLS1V123MELA – 12 mF, 35 V Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LLS1V123MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, radial can package designed for general-purpose applications. It provides 12 mF capacitance at a 35 V rating with polarized construction and snap-in mounting for secure board retention.
Engineered as an 85°C standard device, this capacitor withstands 3000 hours of applied rated ripple current at 85°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for designs that require long-duration ripple endurance and regulatory compliance.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 12 mF nominal capacitance at a 35 V rated voltage with a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Endurance at 85°C — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of applied DC bias plus rated ripple current at 85°C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current.
- Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current values: 4.15 A at 120 Hz and 4.772 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective handling of AC ripple in power circuits.
- Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to +85°C operation to cover a broad range of ambient conditions.
- Package & Mounting — Radial, can-type snap-in package for robust PCB mounting and easy mechanical retention.
- Polarized Design — Polar capacitor suitable for DC applications where polarity is observed.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Compact Footprint — Physical dimensions: length 4.5 cm × diameter 2.5 cm, offering high capacitance in a compact snap-in can.
Typical Applications
- General Purpose — Use in general-purpose circuits that require 12 mF capacitance at 35 V with snap-in board mounting.
- General Purpose — Suitable where a polarized aluminum electrolytic with endurance at 85°C (3000 h) is required.
- General Purpose — Appropriate for designs needing specified ripple current handling (4.15 A at 120 Hz; 4.772 A at 50 kHz) in a radial can package.
Unique Advantages
- Long-duration ripple endurance: Rated to endure 3000 hours of applied rated ripple current at 85°C, providing predictable performance over extended thermal stress.
- Documented ripple capability: Clear ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 50 kHz support design decisions for filtering and smoothing circuits.
- Compact, secure mounting: Snap-in radial can package enables reliable mechanical retention on the PCB while delivering high capacitance density.
- Wide operating range: −40°C to +85°C operating temperature allows use across varied ambient conditions within the specified range.
- Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance simplifies regulatory tracking for restricted substances.
