LLS2C561MELA

The LLS2C561MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLS series featuring a snap-in terminal design. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating with a ±20% tolerance and is specified for general-purpose applications.

Designed for board-level snap-in mounting, this part combines high rated voltage, sustained ripple-current capability, and 3,000‑hour endurance at 85 °C, making it suitable for designs that require robust power smoothing and long-term stability under rated ripple conditions.

Key Features

• Rated Electricals — 560 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Snap-in Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap-in mounting for secure board attachment and straightforward assembly.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Specified lifetime of 3,000 hours at 85 °C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current applied; capacitance, tan δ and leakage meet endurance criteria after restoration to 20 °C.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 2.15 A low-frequency ripple current (120 Hz) and 3.225 A high-frequency ripple current (50 kHz) to support filtering under dynamic loads.
• Low Dissipation Factor — tan δ of 0.15 (maximum) at 20 °C and 120 Hz for the 160 V rating, supporting efficient AC performance.
• Leakage Current — 890 µA leakage current as specified, measured after standard voltage application conditions.
• Operating Range & Size — Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C; physical size φ25 × 25 mm (2.5 × 2.5 cm).
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant; supplied in tray packing and available for mass production runs.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple-current handling where a 160 V rating and snap-in mounting are required.
• Board-level filtering — Used on PCBs that require durable, high-voltage electrolytic bulk capacitors with reliable endurance at elevated temperature.
• Industrial equipment — Suited for general-purpose industrial designs operating within −40 °C to +85 °C and requiring sustained ripple-current performance.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage, high-capacitance combination: 160 V rating with 560 µF capacitance supports larger energy storage in a compact snap-in can.
• Long-term endurance at 85 °C: Rated for 3,000 hours under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, delivering predictable aging characteristics for long production life cycles.
• Robust ripple-current capability: 2.15 A at 120 Hz and 3.225 A at 50 kHz enable effective smoothing under both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Efficient AC performance: Low tan δ (0.15 max. at 20 °C, 120 Hz) reduces dissipative losses in AC environments.
• Snap-in mounting for secure attachment: Radial can with snap-in terminals simplifies mechanical retention and assembly on PCBs.
• Regulatory alignment and production-ready packaging: RoHS compliance and tray packing support volume manufacturing and regulatory requirements.
