LLS2A152MELA

The LLS2A152MELA from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LLS series, rated for 100 V and 1.5 mF capacitance. Designed as an 85°C standard part for general‑purpose applications, it delivers robust ripple‑current endurance and RoHS compliance for regulatory compatibility.

This radial, can‑snap‑in package supports designs that require bulk capacitance, reliable DC bias performance and extended ripple handling at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable where significant bulk energy storage at high voltage is required.
• Snap‑in Mounting — Radial, can snap‑in package for secure chassis or PCB mounting with snap‑in terminals.
• Ripple Current Endurance — Rated ripple current of 2.47 A at 120 Hz and 2.841 A at 50 kHz; specified to withstand application of rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 85°C.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to +85°C operation, enabling use across a wide ambient range.
• Low‑Temperature Impedance Stability — At 120 Hz, impedance ratios for the 16–100 V range: Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 4 and Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 20, supporting low‑temperature performance characterization.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) maximum for 100 V is 0.20 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C); leakage current specified as I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C.
• Endurance & Shelf Life — Meets endurance criteria after 3000 hours at 85°C (capacitance within ±20%, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial specified value, leakage current ≤ initial specified); shelf life requirements met after 1000 hours at 85°C following specified voltage treatment.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Electronics — For circuits that require bulk capacitance and stable long‑term performance at up to 100 V rating.
• Power Supply Filtering — Used where rated ripple‑current endurance and high DC voltage handling are needed to smooth and stabilize supply rails.
• Industrial and Equipment Power Systems — Snap‑in mounting and 85°C endurance make it suitable for general‑purpose industrial power and energy storage roles.

Unique Advantages

• 3000‑Hour Ripple Endurance: Proven tolerance to continuous rated ripple current at 85°C for 3000 hours, providing predictable life under sustained load.
• High Voltage with Large Capacitance: 1.5 mF at 100 V offers substantial bulk energy storage in a snap‑in can package for compact power designs.
• Quantified Low‑Temperature Performance: Specified impedance ratios at −25°C and −40°C (for the 16–100 V range) support validated behavior across temperature extremes.
• Measured Loss and Leakage Limits: Defined tan δ and leakage current specifications allow straightforward inclusion in loss and thermal budgets.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for designs that must satisfy environmental regulatory standards.
