Overview of LLS2A122MELA – Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 100 V, 1200 µF
The LLS2A122MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal configuration designed for general purpose power applications. It provides 1,200 µF capacitance at a 100 V rated voltage, with a standard 85°C category temperature rating.
Designed for systems that require bulk energy storage and ripple handling, this capacitor combines high ripple current capability, a 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C, and RoHS compliance in a compact φ25 × 25 mm can with tray packing for mass production.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance: 1,200 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 100 V; specified tanδ of 0.2 at 20°C and 120 Hz for predictable dissipation characteristics.
- Ripple Current Handling: Rated ripple current of 2,110 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2,426 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support smoothing and decoupling in power circuits.
- Leakage and Reliability: Specified leakage current of 1,030 µA and endurance of 3,000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple and DC bias conditions.
- Mechanical & Package: Snap‑in terminal, radial can (φ25 × 25 mm), designed for secure mounting and tray packing suitable for mass production.
- Temperature Range: Operating temperature from −40°C to +85°C, supporting a wide range of industrial ambient conditions.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant per the product data.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk smoothing and ripple suppression in 100 V power rails where high ripple current capability and 1,200 µF capacitance are required.
- Power Conversion and Inverters: Energy reservoir and decoupling for converters and inverter stages operating within the −40°C to +85°C range.
- UPS and Backup Systems: Bulk capacitance for transient buffering and energy storage in systems that demand sustained endurance at elevated temperatures.
- General Purpose Electronics: Robust, snap‑in mounting for assemblies requiring reliable, high‑capacitance electrolytic solutions in mass production environments.
Unique Advantages
- High Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 3,000 hours at 85°C under specified conditions, supporting long operating life in demanding thermal environments.
- Strong Ripple Handling: Dual ripple current ratings (2,110 mA at 120 Hz and 2,426 mA at 50 kHz) tailored for both low‑ and high‑frequency power circuits.
- Compact Snap‑in Package: φ25 × 25 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals offers secure board mounting and is supplied in tray packing for production efficiency.
- Predictable Dissipation and Leakage: Specified tanδ (0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (1,030 µA) enable predictable thermal and standby behavior in design calculations.
- RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements, simplifying regulatory management for assemblies.
