LLS2D222MELC

The LLS2D222MELC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLS series. It provides 2.2 mF of bulk capacitance at a 200 V rating in a radial, can-style snap‑in package designed for general-purpose applications.

Engineered for sustained ripple conditions, this capacitor withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C and offers specified ripple current performance across low and high frequencies, making it well suited to designs that require robust bulk capacitance and reliable ripple handling.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Ripple Endurance — Designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C when DC bias plus rated ripple current is applied (peak voltage not to exceed rated voltage).
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 5.25 A at 120 Hz and 7.875 A at 50 kHz, supporting both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple environments.
• Operating Temperature — Specified for use from −40°C to +85°C, matching the LLS series category temperature range for relevant voltage classes.
• Electrical Losses — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) for 200 V is max. 0.15 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), providing a defined dissipation characteristic for design calculations.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current after 5 minutes at 20°C is defined by I ≤ 3√CV (μA), enabling predictable standby loss estimation.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can‑style snap‑in terminal for secure board mounting; compact footprint: L 4.5 × D 3.5 cm.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering: Bulk smoothing and ripple attenuation where 2.2 mF at 200 V and defined ripple current capability are required.
• Bulk energy storage: Temporary energy buffering for power systems that need reliable capacitance and endurance under continuous ripple load.
• General-purpose industrial equipment: Use in commercial and industrial electronics that demand a robust, snap‑in mounted electrolytic capacitor with long ripple life.

Unique Advantages

• Proven ripple endurance: Rated to withstand 3000 hours of applied rated ripple current at 85°C, giving designers a measurable lifetime benchmark.
• Frequency-flexible ripple handling: Specified ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz support a range of switching and line‑frequency applications.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Defined tan δ (max. 0.15 at 200 V) and a leakage current formula (I ≤ 3√CV) help with thermal and loss budgeting.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial, can-style snap‑in terminals provide reliable mechanical retention for high-vibration or high-current board environments.
• RoHS-compliant construction: Meets current RoHS requirements, simplifying regulatory considerations for equipment manufacturers.
