LLS2C122MELB

The LLS2C122MELB is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications. It combines high capacitance (1.2 mF / 1200 µF) with a 160 V rated voltage in a compact φ30 × 30 mm can package for snap‑in mounting.

Engineered for continuous operation up to 85°C, this Nichicon LLS series part delivers high ripple handling and long endurance—making it suitable where bulk capacitance, ripple filtering and reliable long‑term performance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Rated Voltage — 160 V DC rating for higher‑voltage power rails and DC link applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 3.41 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 5.115 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to handle sustained ripple loads.
• Endurance — Designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C per LLS series specifications for long operational life under load.
• Operating Temperature — −40°C to +85°C operating range to support a wide set of industrial and commercial environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1310 µA for predictable standby and energized-state behavior.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap‑in terminals in a φ30 × 30 mm form factor, supplied in tray packing and available in mass production quantities.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements as indicated in the LLS series documentation.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power electronics — Bulk energy storage and smoothing on mid‑voltage rails where 160 V rating and high capacitance are required.
• Power supply filtering — Smoothing and ripple attenuation in DC power supplies benefiting from the component’s high ripple current ratings.
• Industrial equipment — Energy buffering and decoupling in industrial control and power conversion systems that operate across −40°C to 85°C.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability: 160 V rating enables use on higher‑voltage rails without series stacking, simplifying designs.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified LF and HF ripple currents (3.41 A @ 120 Hz, 5.115 A @ 50 kHz) reduce thermal stress and improve capacitor reliability under dynamic loads.
• Long endurance under load: 3000 hours at 85°C with rated ripple current ensures sustained performance in continuous‑duty applications.
• Compact snap‑in package: φ30 × 30 mm can with snap‑in terminals allows straightforward board mounting and stable mechanical retention.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Specified leakage current (1310 µA) supports accurate power budgeting and standby calculations.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental regulation requirements for modern product assemblies.
