LLS1V153MELC

The LLS1V153MELC is a Nichicon LLS-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal can, rated 35 V with 15,000 µF nominal capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It delivers high bulk capacitance and robust ripple-current capability in a radial snap-in package intended for general-purpose applications.

Designed for continuous operation across –40°C to 85°C with a specified 3,000-hour endurance at 85°C, the LLS1V153MELC offers long-life performance, measurable loss characteristics (tanδ), and RoHS compliance for use in production systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance at a 35 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage needs.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current 4.95 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 5.6925 A (50 kHz) to support demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.35 maximum at 20°C and 120 Hz for predictable AC performance.
• Leakage Current — Rated leakage current of 2,170 µA, specified after standard test conditions.
• Robust Endurance — Specified for 3,000 hours life at 85°C under rated ripple and bias conditions, with defined limits on capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage after endurance testing.
• Operating Range — Specified operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C for general-purpose environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can-type snap-in terminal package (φ35 × 35L) for secure board mounting and tray packing for production handling; mass production status.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction in line with the LLS series guidance.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Suitable for general-purpose applications where high bulk capacitance and reliable ripple performance are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Applied where 15,000 µF at 35 V bulk capacitance is needed for smoothing and energy buffering in power systems.
• Industrial Systems — Appropriate for general-purpose industrial equipment operating within –40°C to 85°C and requiring defined endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Large Bulk Capacitance: 15,000 µF provides significant energy storage in a compact snap-in can for applications needing high capacitance density.
• High Ripple Capacity: Rated ripple currents of 4.95 A (120 Hz) and 5.6925 A (50 kHz) reduce heating and extend operational stability under AC stress.
• Defined Endurance: 3,000 hours at 85°C with specified post-test limits delivers measurable long-term behavior for production designs.
• Wide Operating Temperature: –40°C to 85°C operation supports deployment across a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Production-Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production status streamline procurement and assembly for high-volume builds.
• Standards-Based Loss and Leakage Specs: Specified tanδ (0.35 at 20°C/120 Hz) and leakage current figures enable predictable design margining and thermal planning.
