LLS2D152MELB

The LLS2D152MELB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package from Nichicon’s LLS series. It is a polarized, general‑purpose capacitor rated at 1.5 mF and 200 V, designed for applications requiring sustained ripple current performance and long endurance at elevated operating temperatures.

Built to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), this part is suited for engineers specifying robust, board‑mountable electrolytic capacitance in power assemblies and other general‑purpose circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 200 V, with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package for secure board mounting and mechanical retention in power assemblies.
• Temperature Range — Operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C (category temperature range indicated for 16 to 250 V rated parts in the series).
• Endurance — Withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C when DC bias plus rated ripple current is applied, with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after recovery to 20°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 4.13 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 6.195 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with sustained AC components on the DC bus.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√CV (μA) after 5 minutes' application of rated voltage at 20°C, allowing predictable sizing for power designs.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Circuits — For circuits that require a 1.5 mF, 200 V polarized electrolytic capacitor with snap‑in mounting and documented endurance at 85°C.
• High‑ripple Power Assemblies — Suitable where sustained ripple currents are present, leveraging rated ripple current specs (4.13 A at 120 Hz, 6.195 A at 50 kHz).
• Panel and Chassis Power Modules — Snap‑in radial can package provides mechanical retention for power modules and boards where secure mounting is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Documented Endurance: 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current ensures predictable life performance for qualifying designs.
• High Ripple Current Handling: Explicit ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz support selection for a range of switching and line‑frequency environments.
• Predictable Leakage Behavior: Leakage current specified by the I ≤ 3√CV formula provides an engineering basis for system leakage budgeting.
• Robust Mounting Format: Snap‑in radial can simplifies assembly and provides durable mechanical retention in power enclosures and modules.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports deployments where restricted‑substance conformance is required.
