LLS2C561MELY

The LLS2C561MELY is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LLS series. It provides 560 µF of capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact radial can (φ20 × 35 mm) designed for snap‑in mounting.

Targeted for general‑purpose applications, this component combines high DC voltage capability, rated ripple endurance, and RoHS compliance for use where bulk capacitance and robust lifetime characteristics are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity & Voltage: 560 µF nominal capacitance rated at 160 V DC, tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low loss (tan δ): Specified tan δ = 0.15 (max) measured at 120 Hz and 20°C for the 160 V rating, indicating controlled dissipation factor for AC ripple conditions.
• High ripple endurance: Rated ripple current of 2.14 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.21 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling sustained AC loading within specified limits.
• Leakage current: Specified leakage current of 890 µA after rated voltage application (measurement conditions per product data).
• Endurance: 3000 hours life at 85°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current applied, meeting the LLS series endurance specification.
• Operating temperature: −40°C to +85°C, suitable for standard temperature environments covered by the LLS series.
• Package & mounting: Snap‑in terminal radial can (φ20 × 35 mm), tray packing; designed for secure snap‑in board retention and mass production deployment.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant as specified for the LLS series.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power systems — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing where a 160 V, 560 µF snap‑in capacitor is required.
• Industrial and commercial equipment — Designed for applications needing rated ripple endurance and 3000 h life at 85°C.
• PCB snap‑in mounting scenarios — Radial snap‑in package simplifies mechanical retention and insertion in high‑volume assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage bulk capacitance: 560 µF at 160 V DC delivers significant energy storage in a compact φ20 × 35 mm can.
• Measured ripple capability: Defined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (2.14 A at 120 Hz, 3.21 A at 50 kHz) enable predictable AC performance.
• Endurance verified at 85°C: 3000 hours rated life under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current supports long‑term operation within specified conditions.
• Controlled electrical losses: tan δ = 0.15 (120 Hz, 20°C) gives a clear loss specification for thermal and impedance budgeting.
• Tray packing for production: Supplied in trays for efficient handling and placement in mass production environments.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS directives as noted for the LLS series.
