LLS2C561MELZ

The LLS2C561MELZ is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LLS series designed for general-purpose power applications. It provides 560 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a φ22 × 30 mm can-style package optimized for snap-in mounting and tray packing for mass production.

Engineered for reliability under elevated temperatures, this capacitor is specified for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C and is endurance-rated to withstand rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 85 °C, making it suitable for bulk energy storage and filtering in industrial and commercial equipment.

Key Features

• High Capacitance / Voltage: 560 µF at 160 V provides substantial bulk energy storage and smoothing capability for higher-voltage rails.
• Snap-In Terminal Mounting: Radial can with snap-in terminals supports robust, assembly-friendly installation for power-supply and chassis-mount applications.
• Temperature Range: Rated for –40 °C to +85 °C, matching the LLS series category temperature range for 16–250 V parts in the series documentation.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85 °C, ensuring stable performance over extended high-temperature operation.
• Ripple Current Performance: Low-frequency ripple current of 2.15 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 3.225 A at 50 kHz to support filtering across a range of switching and line conditions.
• Polarized Aluminum Electrolytic: Polarized design suitable for DC bulk smoothing and filtering where polarity is maintained.
• RoHS Compliant & Tray Packed: Meets RoHS requirements and delivered in tray packing for efficient mass-production handling.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filters: Bulk capacitance for DC smoothing and hold-up in high-voltage power supplies and converters.
• Industrial Control Equipment: Energy storage and ripple suppression in motor drives, inverters, and control power circuits operating up to 160 V.
• Commercial Electronics: Decoupling and bulk storage in UPS, telecommunications power modules, and cabinet-level power distribution.

Unique Advantages

• Durability under Load: Endurance specification of 3000 hours at 85 °C under rated ripple ensures reliable long-term performance in thermally demanding installations.
• High Voltage Capability: 160 V rating expands applicability to higher-voltage rails where larger capacitance is required.
• Assembly-Friendly Package: Snap-in radial can construction and tray packing streamline board-level installation and high-volume assembly processes.
• Measurable Ripple Handling: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow engineers to size parts against measured or calculated ripple in their designs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies specification and procurement for environmentally regulated programs.
