LLS2C331MELY

The LLS2C331MELY is a Nichicon LLS series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in (radial can) package designed for general‑purpose power applications. It provides 330 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating, combining high‑voltage capability with a compact φ20×25 mm form factor.

Engineered for reliable board‑level mounting, this snap‑in terminal capacitor offers long endurance at elevated temperature and defined ripple handling, making it suitable where stable bulk capacitance and predictable electrical behavior are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 330 µF nominal capacitance rated for 160 V DC, ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package: φ20×25 mm (D×L) radial can with snap‑in terminals for secure chassis or PCB mounting and simplified assembly.
• Endurance: Designed to withstand 3000 hours with rated ripple current at 85 °C while meeting capacitance, tan δ and leakage criteria after test.
• Low Loss (tan δ): tan δ specified at 0.15 (max) for the 160 V rating, measured at 120 Hz and 20 °C, for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Ripple Current Ratings: 1.55 A at 120 Hz and 2.325 A at 50 kHz, supporting common filtering and smoothing duties under AC ripple conditions.
• Operating Temperature Range: –40 °C to +85 °C for broad environmental compatibility within the series’ specified limits.
• Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current follows I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes application of rated voltage at 20 °C, per the product specification.
• Compliance and Availability: RoHS compliant and listed as mass production status with tray packing for volume assembly.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple attenuation where 330 µF at up to 160 V is required.
• Energy storage and decoupling — Board‑level bulk capacitance for power rails in industrial and electronic equipment.
• Power module and chassis mounting — Snap‑in terminal format supports secure mounting for applications needing robust mechanical retention.

Unique Advantages

• High working voltage: 160 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage DC systems without changing form factor.
• Long thermal endurance: 3000‑hour rating at 85 °C under rated ripple conditions provides predictable lifetime behavior in warm operating environments.
• Predictable dissipation: A defined tan δ (0.15 max) at 120 Hz supports thermal planning and loss budgeting.
• Clear leakage specification: Leakage current bound by I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA aids in power‑budget and hold‑up time calculations.
• RoHS compliant and production ready: Conforms to RoHS and available in tray packing for assembly processes.
• Compact snap‑in packaging: φ20×25 mm can with snap‑in terminals combines high capacitance density with secure mounting for board or chassis installations.
