Overview of LLS2A222MELA – 100 V, 2200 µF Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LLS2A222MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 2200 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a radial, can-type snap‑in package. It is designed for general-purpose applications that require bulk capacitance, ripple handling and long-term endurance at elevated temperatures.
Key design attributes include a 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C under rated ripple conditions, low loss tangent (tan δ = 0.20 at 20°C/120 Hz), and dual-frequency ripple current specifications to support both low‑ and higher‑frequency environments.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 2.2 mF (2200 µF) rated at 100 V, providing substantial bulk energy storage in a compact snap‑in can.
- Tolerance: ±20% capacitance tolerance at 20°C and 120 Hz for predictable filtering and energy reserve behavior.
- Loss Characteristics: tan δ = 0.20 (max) measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation for stable performance.
- Ripple Current Capability: 3210 mA at 120 Hz and 3691.5 mA at 50 kHz, enabling sustained ripple handling across common power frequencies.
- Leakage Current: 1400 µA specified leakage current after rated voltage application, suitable for general‑purpose power designs.
- Endurance: 3000 hours life at 85°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current applied, meeting the series endurance specification for long‑term use.
- Operating Temperature Range: −40°C to +85°C to cover a wide range of ambient conditions for general‑purpose systems.
- Package & Handling: Radial, can — snap‑in package (φ25 × 40L / L: 4 × D: 2.5 cm) supplied in tray packing and available for mass production.
- Compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction as stated in the product information.
Typical Applications
- General Purpose Power Filtering: Bulk capacitance and specified ripple current make the LLS2A222MELA suitable for smoothing and decoupling in general‑purpose power circuits.
- Energy Storage for Power Supplies: 2200 µF at 100 V provides reservoir capacitance where sustained ripple handling and endurance at 85°C are required.
- Industrial Electronics (General‑Purpose): The −40°C to +85°C operating range and 3000‑hour endurance support long‑term use in general industrial equipment applications.
Unique Advantages
- Robust Endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 85°C with rated ripple current applied, giving designers a quantifiable lifetime reference for thermal and ripple stress.
- Dual‑Frequency Ripple Ratings: Separate ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 50 kHz let engineers size the capacitor more accurately for both mains and higher‑frequency switching environments.
- Snap‑in Package for Secure Mounting: Radial snap‑in can simplifies panel or chassis mounting and offers mechanical stability for higher‑current applications.
- Predictable Loss and Leakage: Specified tan δ and leakage current values allow tighter thermal and leakage budgeting in power designs.
- Production‑Ready Supply: Tray packing and mass production status support repeatable procurement and assembly for volume builds.
