LLS2A332MELA

The LLS2A332MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose applications. It is part of Nichicon’s LLS series, specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C and compliant with the RoHS directive.

This capacitor is engineered for sustained ripple duty, withstanding 3,000 hours of rated ripple current at 85 °C, making it suitable where long endurance under continuous ripple stress is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF (3,300 μF) nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 100 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
• Snap‑in Radial Package — Radial, can‑style snap‑in mounting for robust chassis or board retention in power assemblies.
• Ripple Endurance — Designed to withstand 3,000 hours of rated ripple current at 85 °C per series endurance specification.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Specified ripple current: 4.15 A at 120 Hz and 4.772 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple handling across common frequencies.
• Operating Temperature — Rated for use from −40 °C to +85 °C, suitable for a wide ambient operating range.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tan δ specified (max. 0.20 at 100 V) for quality control of dissipation factor.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Size — Package dimensions approximately L: 5 cm × D: 2.5 cm for planning board space and enclosure fit.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power assemblies — Used where robust bulk capacitance and ripple endurance are required in general‑purpose circuits.
• Industrial electronics — Applicable to industrial equipment requiring sustained ripple handling and wide ambient temperature operation.
• Power filtering and smoothing — Employed for smoothing and decoupling in power rails where long ripple endurance at 85 °C is important.

Unique Advantages

• Long ripple endurance: Withstands 3,000 hours at rated ripple current and 85 °C, providing predictable lifetime under continuous ripple stress.
• High ripple current capability: Rated ripple current values (4.15 A at 120 Hz, 4.772 A at 50 kHz) support effective AC ripple management across common frequencies.
• Wide operating temperature: −40 °C to +85 °C rating supports diverse deployment environments without compromising performance.
• Measurable leakage and loss specs: Leakage current and tan δ limits (including I ≤ 3√CV and tan δ max. 0.20 at 100 V) ease selection and verification during design and procurement.
• Snap‑in packaging: Radial, snap‑in can simplifies mechanical retention for power modules and assemblies.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to current RoHS directives for environmentally regulated designs.
