LLS2E102MELB

The LLS2E102MELB is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLS series, specified for general purpose electronic applications. It provides 1,000 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with snap‑in radial can packaging and tray packing for board‑level assembly.

Designed for applications that require sustained ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperature, this part delivers rated ripple current capability and a 3,000‑hour endurance at 85 °C while maintaining RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance  1,000 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 250 V; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) is specified at 0.15 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz).
• Ripple Current Capability  Low‑frequency ripple current of 3.56 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 5.34 A at 50 kHz, enabling robust handling of AC stress under rated conditions.
• Leakage Current  Specified leakage current is 1,500 µA (after rated voltage applied at 20 °C), supporting predictable bias behavior in circuits.
• Reliability and Endurance  Endurance rating of 3,000 hours at 85 °C with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current after life test.
• Temperature Range  Operating range from −40 °C to +85 °C, covering standard industrial temperature requirements listed for the series.
• Mechanical & Mounting  Snap‑in radial can package (φ30 × 40 mm length) for secure board mounting and efficient assembly; supplied in tray packing for handling.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant as indicated for the LLS series.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronic Equipment  Used where a 250 V, 1,000 µF electrolytic capacitor with snap‑in mounting is required for bulk capacitance and ripple handling.
• Power Supply Modules  Deployed in circuits that require sustained ripple current performance and long endurance at elevated case temperatures.
• Industrial Electronics  Suitable for industrial designs that need a robust, polarized electrolytic capacitor with specified leakage and tan δ characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Bulk Capacitance: 1,000 µF at 250 V provides substantial energy storage for high‑voltage applications requiring polarized bulk capacitance.
• Designed for Ripple Stress: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz (3.56 A and 5.34 A respectively) allow predictable performance under AC loading.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 3,000 hours life at 85 °C with controlled limits on capacitance, tan δ and leakage current supports long service intervals.
• Snap‑In Mounting for Secure Assembly: Radial snap‑in can minimizes movement on the board and simplifies placement for high‑current or high‑vibration environments.
• Measured Dissipation Factor: tan δ of 0.15 (120 Hz, 20 °C) gives a clear metric for loss behavior in AC applications.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to RoHS requirements listed for the series, supporting environmental regulatory needs.
