LLS1V123MELB

The LLS1V123MELB from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LLS series, rated 35 V with 12,000 µF (12 mF) capacitance. It is specified for general-purpose applications that require large bulk capacitance, elevated ripple-current handling and a rugged snap-in mounting style.

Key technical attributes include a 3000-hour endurance at 85°C under rated ripple conditions, low-frequency and high-frequency ripple current capability, and RoHS compliance—providing a balance of capacitance density, thermal endurance and serviceable mounting for power-related designs.

Key Features

• High Capacitance (12,000 µF) — Provides substantial bulk energy storage in a compact radial can (φ30 × 35 mm), suitable where high capacitance is required.
• 35 V Rated Voltage — Designed for circuits operating up to 35 V DC.
• Snap-In Terminal Package — Radial can with snap-in mounting for secure board/fixture assembly in power and chassis layouts.
• High Ripple-Current Capability — Rated for 4.14 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.761 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective AC ripple handling in power applications.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C per series specification, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after the endurance test.
• Controlled Dissipation Factor — tan δ specified at 0.35 (max.) measured at 120 Hz and 20°C for the 35 V rating.
• Tight Electrical Tolerance — Capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,940 µA (after standard test conditions).
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +85°C to cover a broad range of general-purpose environments.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Bulk Filtering — Large 12,000 µF capacitance combined with multi-amp ripple-current ratings supports smoothing and bulk energy storage in regulated power supplies and DC buses.
• Industrial Power Modules — Specified endurance of 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current makes it suited for sustained thermal and electrical stress in industrial electronics.
• General-Purpose Electronic Equipment — Polarized aluminum electrolytic in a snap-in form factor for general-purpose use where high capacitance and reliable mounting are required.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Bulk Capacitance: 12,000 µF delivers large energy storage in a compact φ30 × 35 mm package, reducing the number of parallel parts needed.
• High Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents of 4.14 A (120 Hz) and 4.761 A (50 kHz) provide margin for AC stress in high-current DC circuits.
• Validated Endurance: Endurance characterization of 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current offers predictable performance over long-term operation.
• Robust Mounting: Snap-in radial can design enables firm mechanical retention for chassis- or board-mounted power assemblies.
• Measured Electrical Characteristics: Defined tan δ (0.35 max at 120 Hz) and specified leakage current allow straightforward electrical budgeting in designs.
• RoHS Compliance: Constructed to meet RoHS requirements for environmental regulatory adherence.
