Overview of LLS2C102MELA – Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 160 V, 1000 µF
The LLS2C102MELA is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It is a 1000 µF, 160 V polarized capacitor in a radial snap-in can (φ25 × 35 mm) built to operate across a −40°C to 85°C temperature range.
Engineered for board-level bulk storage and filtering, this 85°C-standard part delivers high rated ripple current and a defined endurance of 3000 hours at 85°C, offering a verifiable performance envelope for industrial and commercial electronic power applications.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Snap-in Radial Package — Radial, can-type with snap-in terminals in a φ25 × 35 mm body for robust board mounting and straightforward assembly.
- High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 3.0 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.5 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) for bulk filtering and smoothing under dynamic loads.
- Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) maximum of 0.15 at 120 Hz and 20°C for the 160 V rating, supporting predictable AC performance.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1200 µA, measured after standard voltage application conditions.
- Endurance — Withstands application of rated ripple current and DC bias for 3000 hours at 85°C with performance criteria defined for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current.
- Temperature Range — Operational from −40°C to +85°C to match a wide range of commercial and industrial environments.
- Compliance & Packaging — RoHS-compliant and supplied in tray packing; listed as mass production status for procurement visibility.
Typical Applications
- Power Supply Filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in high-voltage DC power supplies where 160 V rating and substantial ripple current capability are required.
- Industrial Electronics — Energy storage and decoupling in industrial control and power conversion modules operating within −40°C to 85°C.
- Commercial Equipment — Bulk capacitance for rack-mounted equipment and other commercial systems that require long endurance under continuous ripple current loading.
Unique Advantages
- High Voltage Bulk Storage: 160 V rated capacitance (1000 µF) provides significant energy storage for higher-voltage DC rails.
- Designed for Continuous Ripple: Specified ripple current ratings (3.0 A @120 Hz, 4.5 A @50 kHz) enable sustained operation in demanding filtering applications.
- Proven Endurance: Endurance defined for 3000 hours at 85°C with rated ripple current and DC bias, enabling predictable lifetime planning.
- Clear Electrical Characterization: Defined tan δ (0.15 max at 120 Hz, 20°C) and leakage current specification support accurate circuit design and margining.
- Board-Ready Form Factor: Snap-in radial can in a compact φ25 × 35 mm footprint simplifies assembly for high-volume production; available in tray packing.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant for use in products requiring restricted substances conformance.
