LLS2A272MELB

The LLS2A272MELB is a Nichicon aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal radial can package, rated 100 V with 2,700 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It is designed for general-purpose electronic applications that require high capacitance and high-voltage capability in a compact snap-in form factor.

Key value comes from its combination of high ripple-current handling, a 3000 hour endurance at 85°C, and a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for designs that need durable bulk capacitance and reliable long-term operation.

Key Features

• Electrolytic core and termination: Aluminum electrolytic construction with snap-in terminals in a radial, can-style package for secure board mounting.
• High voltage rating: 100 V rated voltage for applications requiring elevated DC voltage handling.
• Large capacitance: 2.7 mF (2,700 µF) capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Ripple current capability: 3.65 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.197 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support high ripple environments.
• Endurance: Withstands 3,000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C under DC bias, per the LLS series endurance specification.
• Leakage and dissipation characteristics: Leakage current specified at 1,550 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.2 (max) at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Operating and storage range: Operating temperature range −40°C to 85°C and shelf-life/ endurance characteristics defined by the series specifications.
• Compact dimensions: φ30 × 35L (30 mm diameter × 35 mm length); listed size L: 3.5 × D: 3 cm and radial snap-in package for space-conscious layouts.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements as stated for the LLS series.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering and smoothing: Provides bulk capacitance and ripple current handling for DC power rails and smoothing stages.
• Industrial power electronics: Bulk energy storage and decoupling in general-purpose industrial equipment where high-voltage electrolytic capacitors are required.
