LLS2A222MELZ

The LLS2A222MELZ from Nichicon is a snap-in, aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LLS series designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 2.2 mF (2200 µF) capacitance at a 100 V rating with snap-in mounting in a radial can package.

Engineered for reliability under continuous ripple load, this capacitor offers defined ripple current ratings, a 3000-hour endurance at 85°C, RoHS compliance and a broad operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C — making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial electronic equipment.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance 2.2 mF (2200 µF) nominal capacitance at 100 V with ±20% tolerance provides bulk energy storage and smoothing capacity for power circuits.
• Ripple Handling & Endurance Specified ripple current of 3.150 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.623 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), plus a 3000-hour endurance rating at 85°C under rated ripple current, for sustained operation under continuous load.
• Leakage and Reliability Leakage current specified at 1400 µA and an endurance specification that limits capacitance change to within ±20% after life testing help maintain predictable performance over time.
• Mechanical & Mounting Snap-in terminal, radial can package (φ22 × 45 mm footprint listed as L: 4.5 × D: 2.2 cm), designed for secure chassis or PCB mounting and straightforward installation.
• Temperature Range Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with standard 85°C series construction.
• Compliance & Production RoHS-compliant construction and delivered in tray packing; listed as mass production status for consistent availability.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power electronics — Used where high-capacitance, high-voltage bulk capacitors are required; the specified ripple current ratings and 3000 h endurance at 85°C support continuous DC smoothing and filtering.
• Industrial equipment — Suitable for commercial and industrial systems that require robust electrolytic energy storage within a −40°C to +85°C operating window.
• Power conversion and control — Appropriate for designs that demand snap-in, high-voltage capacitors for ripple handling and bulk decoupling under sustained load.

Unique Advantages

• High-capacitance, high-voltage combination: 2.2 mF at 100 V supplies substantial bulk energy storage in a compact, snap-in can for power-dense designs.
• Defined ripple performance: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (3.150 A at 120 Hz and 3.623 A at 50 kHz) enable designers to assess thermal and ripple stress across application frequencies.
• Long-term endurance: 3000 hours at 85°C under rated conditions provides predictable aging and performance retention in continuous-use environments.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment across varied environmental conditions common in industrial and commercial equipment.
• RoHS-compliant and production-ready: Environmentally compliant construction and tray packing in mass production status simplify procurement and integration.
