LLS2C122MELC

The LLS2C122MELC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a rated capacitance of 1200 µF and a rated voltage of 160 V. It is part of Nichicon’s LLS series and is intended for general‑purpose applications requiring robust ripple handling and long endurance.

Key value propositions include high ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, a 3000‑hour endurance rating at 85°C, and RoHS compliance—delivered in a radial snap‑in can (φ35 × 25 mm length) in tray packing for mass production supply.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1200 µF rated capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.15 (max.) measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for stable AC performance.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 3.4 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 5.1 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support heavy AC ripple conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1310 µA after standard voltage application.
• Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple/current conditions, with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after endurance testing.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +85°C to accommodate a wide ambient temperature span.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, snap‑in can (φ35 × 25 mm length) for secure snap‑in mounting on PCBs; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Production Status — Mass production available.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power applications — Suited where a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk capacitance and ripple management.
• General‑purpose electronic equipment — Applicable in designs that specify a 160 V, 1200 µF electrolytic with snap‑in mounting.
• Production assemblies — Tray packing and mass production status support volume manufacturing and assembly operations.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 3.4 A (120 Hz) and 5.1 A (50 kHz) allow the capacitor to handle demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Long endurance at temperature: 3000 hours at 85°C provides predictable performance over extended high‑temperature operation.
• Low dissipation factor: tan δ = 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz helps minimize internal heating and energy loss in AC conditions.
• Wide operating temperature range: −40°C to +85°C covers a broad set of ambient and application environments.
• Robust mounting and handling: Snap‑in radial can (φ35 × 25 mm) and tray packing streamline PCB mounting and production workflows.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports environmentally constrained product designs.
