LLS2C222MELC

The LLS2C222MELC is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It provides 2.2 mF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage in a radial can snap-in package.

Engineered for extended ripple endurance, the part withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current application at 85°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for commercial and industrial equipment where robust bulk capacitance and reliable performance are required.

Key Features

• Core Electrical Specification — 2.2 mF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current: 4.96 A at 120 Hz and 7.44 A at 50 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple demands.
• Endurance and Reliability — Withstands 3000 hours of DC bias plus rated ripple current at 85°C; after this endurance test, capacitance remains within ±20%, tan δ is within 200% of initial, and leakage current is less than or equal to the initial specified value.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Leakage current specification follows I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) for the 160 V rating is ≤ 0.15 at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Operating Environment — Specified operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C for the 160 V rating.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with snap-in terminals for secure PCB mounting and simplified assembly.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Size — Body dimensions: L: 4 × D: 3.5 cm, polarization indicated for proper orientation in circuits.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage where a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for filtering and decoupling.
• Industrial Power Systems — Application in commercial and industrial equipment that require sustained ripple handling at elevated temperatures.
• Power Conversion Modules — Use in DC bus, intermediate storage, or other power conversion circuits needing rated voltage up to 160 V and substantial ripple capability.
• Commercial Electronics — General-purpose decoupling and bulk capacitance roles in a wide range of non-automotive electronic equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Ripple Endurance: Designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current application at 85°C, reducing replacement frequency in demanding environments.
• High Voltage Capability: 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power rails and intermediate bus circuits.
• High Ripple Current Ratings: Published ripple current values at both low and high frequency (4.96 A at 120 Hz, 7.44 A at 50 kHz) support versatile power-system designs.
• Measured Loss and Leakage Limits: Leakage current governed by I ≤ 3√CV and tan δ ≤ 0.15 (for 160 V) provide predictable electrical behavior for design margin calculations.
• Snap-In Mounting: Radial, snap-in can package simplifies PCB installation and secures the part against mechanical stress.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements, supporting environmental and regulatory objectives.
