LLS2D122MELC

The LLS2D122MELC from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LLS series, rated for 200 V and 1.2 mF (1200 µF) with ±20% tolerance. Designed as a standard 85°C part, it provides high ripple handling and a 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C when operated under rated ripple current.

This polarized, radial can (snap‑in) package is intended for general‑purpose applications that require bulk capacitance, high ripple current capability, and robust lifetime performance in assemblies where snap‑in mounting is preferred. It is RoHS compliant and available in tray packing for mass production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) rated at 200 V with ±20% tolerance, providing substantial bulk capacitance in a compact snap‑in package.
• High Ripple Current — 3.570 A low‑frequency ripple current rating at 120 Hz and 5.355 A high‑frequency ripple current rating at 50 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple handling under load.
• Endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours at 85°C with rated ripple current applied, meeting the LLS series endurance criteria for long operational life.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) = 0.15 maximum at 20°C and 120 Hz for the 200 V rating, supporting predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1460 µA, measured after rated voltage application per product conditions.
• Mechanical & Packaging — Snap‑in (radial, can) termination for secure PCB mounting; physical size φ35 × 30 mm (height L: 3 cm × diameter D: 3.5 cm) and tray packing for production handling. Marking: white letters on black sleeve.
• Environmental — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — For designs requiring 1.2 mF capacitance at 200 V with snap‑in mounting and specified lifetime at 85°C.
• High Ripple Environments — Intended for applications needing measured low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current capability (3.57 A @120 Hz, 5.355 A @50 kHz).
• Production Assemblies — Tray packing and snap‑in termination suit mass production and through‑hole assembly processes.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Endurance: Rated to withstand 3000 hours at 85°C with rated ripple current applied, providing predictable long‑term performance metrics for design validation.
• High Ripple Handling: Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current specifications give clear guidance for AC stress in a range of operating frequencies.
• Clear Electrical Characterization: Defined tan δ (0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz) and specified leakage current allow accurate thermal and leakage budgeting in designs.
• Manufacturing‑Friendly Packaging: Tray packing and snap‑in terminals simplify board assembly and support production throughput.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports regulatory requirements for restricted substances in many markets.
