LLS2C102MELZ

The LLS2C102MELZ is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon's LLS series designed for general-purpose power applications. It combines a 160 V rated voltage with a 1000 µF capacitance and an 85°C standard endurance rating to support high‑ripple DC systems and industrial electronic equipment.

Engineered for reliability in demanding power environments, this radial can, snap‑in capacitor delivers high ripple current capability, defined leakage and loss characteristics, and a 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C for stable performance over time.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF (1 mF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 160 V rated voltage.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 3.02 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 4.53 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective smoothing under heavy AC ripple conditions.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.15 (max.) measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting predictable AC loss behavior.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1200 µA. Series specification also provides the leakage guideline I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Endurance of 3000 hours at 85°C with operating temperature range from −40°C to 85°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can package (φ22 × 45 mm / L: 4.5 × D: 2.2 cm) supplied in tray packing; marked with white print on a black sleeve.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as indicated for the LLS series.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and DC link filtering where a 160 V rating and high ripple current handling are required.
• Industrial Electronics — General-purpose energy storage and decoupling in control equipment and power conversion modules operating up to 85°C.
• General Purpose Electronic Equipment — Applications that demand stable capacitance, controlled leakage, and long endurance under rated ripple conditions.

Unique Advantages

• 160 V rating for higher DC systems — Enables use in higher-voltage rails without changing capacitor families.
• Strong ripple current capability — 3.02 A (120 Hz) and 4.53 A (50 kHz) ratings reduce heating and extend service life under AC ripple loading.
• Long endurance at operating temperature — 3000 hours at 85°C provides predictable lifetime performance for sustained duty applications.
• Defined electrical characteristics — Specified tan δ and leakage current values support reliable design margining and thermal management.
• Robust snap‑in packaging — Radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies board mounting for power assemblies and allows tray packing for production handling.
• RoHS compliant — Meets environmental restriction requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
