The LLS2C152MELC is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLS series. It is a snap‑in terminal, radial can style capacitor offering 1500 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating, designed for general‑purpose power applications.

Engineered for sustained ripple endurance and production handling, this part features tray packing for mass production and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Snap‑In, Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting in a radial, can‑style package sized approximately φ35 × 30 mm (L: 3 cm × D: 3.5 cm), optimized for through‑hole assembly and secure panel mounting.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to +85°C operation, supporting a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Endurance — Endurance demonstration of 3000 hours at 85°C with rated ripple current applied per the LLS series specification.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current values include 3.94 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 5.91 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting higher AC current conditions within rated limits.
• Polarized — Polarized electrolytic design for DC bulk and filtering applications; marked with white lettering on a black sleeve for polarity identification.
• RoHS Compliance & Packaging — Compliant with RoHS directive and supplied in tray packing for streamlined mass production handling.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Circuits — Suitable for designs that require 1500 µF at 160 V in a snap‑in through‑hole package with extended ripple endurance.
• Production Builds — Tray packing and snap‑in terminals support assembly efficiency for medium‑to‑high volume manufacturing.
• Bulk Capacitance Requirements — Intended for circuits needing substantial capacitance and voltage margin with rated ripple current performance over long endurance periods.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Endurance: Specified endurance of 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current, providing predictable lifetime behavior for sustained operation.
• High Voltage Rating: 160 V rating enables usage in higher‑voltage DC link and power applications within the specified temperature range.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Provided ripple current specifications (3.94 A at 120 Hz and 5.91 A at 50 kHz) let engineers match component selection to system ripple conditions.
• Manufacturing‑Friendly Packaging: Tray packing and snap‑in terminals simplify placement and mechanical retention for automated or manual assembly processes.
• Clear Polarity Identification: White marking on a black sleeve aids correct installation of this polarized capacitor.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for lead‑free assemblies.
