LLS2C102MELB

The LLS2C102MELB is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLS series. It delivers 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 160 V in a polarized, radial can snap‑in package.

Designed for general‑purpose electronic designs, this part combines high ripple handling, long endurance at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance for production environments that require reliable bulk capacitance in a compact snap‑in form factor.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance: 1000 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing defined bulk energy storage for DC applications.
• Rated Voltage: 160 V working voltage suitable for higher‑voltage DC circuits within the LLS series range.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package: Snap‑in terminal mounting in a radial can (φ30 × 30 mm) for secure chassis or PCB assembly and straightforward installation in production.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low‑frequency ripple current 2.96 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 4.44 A (50 kHz), specified for design of DC filter and smoothing networks.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1200 µA after rated voltage application, measurable per datasheet conditions.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 3000 hours at 85°C under specified test conditions, enabling predictable performance over prolonged elevated‑temperature operation.
• Operating Temperature Range: −40°C to +85°C to accommodate a broad range of ambient conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance & Production Ready: RoHS compliant with tray packing and mass production availability for procurement and assembly planning.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic designs: Use where a polarized 1000 µF, 160 V snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk capacitance.
• Power assemblies and modules: Appropriate for assemblies that use snap‑in radial capacitors for chassis or board mounting and require defined ripple handling and endurance.
• Production environments: Tray packing and mass production availability make the part suitable for volume manufacturing workflows that require consistent component supply.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability: 160 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage DC circuits without exceeding the part's rated voltage.
• Measured ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (2.96 A at 120 Hz; 4.44 A at 50 kHz) give engineers clear parameters for thermal and ripple budgeting.
• Long endurance specification: 3000 hours at 85°C under rated conditions provides a defined lifecycle metric for design validation and reliability planning.
• Compact snap‑in form: φ30 × 30 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies mechanical retention and assembly in power cabinets and modules.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances, supporting regulatory needs for many production programs.
• Production readiness: Tray packing and mass production status support repeatable supply and automated assembly processes.
