LLS2E122MELB

The LLS2E122MELB is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLS series, rated 1.2 mF (1200 µF) at 250 V with ±20% tolerance. It is designed for general‑purpose use where high capacitance, robust ripple handling, and long endurance at elevated temperature are required.

Key electrical and reliability characteristics include a low dissipation factor (tan δ 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz), low‑frequency ripple current capability of 3.99 A (120 Hz), high‑frequency ripple current of 5.985 A (50 kHz), leakage current specified at 1640 µA, and a 3000‑hour endurance rating at 85°C. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for mass production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage – 1.2 mF (1200 µF) nominal capacitance at a 250 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable where substantial bulk capacitance is needed.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package – Snap‑in terminal type in a radial, can‑style package for secure board mounting and mechanical stability.
• High Ripple Current Capability – 3.99 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 5.985 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support designs with significant AC ripple stress.
• Low Dissipation Factor – tan δ of 0.15 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for efficient energy storage with controlled losses.
• Controlled Leakage – specified leakage current of 1640 µA, suitable for applications requiring defined leakage performance.
• Endurance & Temperature Rating – Withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C; operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C.
• Physical Footprint & Packaging – Compact φ30 × 45 mm can dimensions (L: 4.5 × D: 3.0 cm) and tray packing for production workflows.
• Regulatory Compliance – RoHS compliant in line with the LLS series directive information.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose – Use wherever a 1.2 mF, 250 V polarized capacitor with reliable ripple handling and long endurance is required.
• High‑Ripple Power Sections – Appropriate for circuits that impose significant AC ripple, leveraging the part’s specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings.
• Industrial and Production Builds – Tray packing and mass production status support volume assembly and replacement in industrial equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Electrical Performance: Combines high capacitance and a 250 V rating with a specified tan δ of 0.15 for predictable loss characteristics.
• Robust Ripple Endurance: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies and 3000 hours endurance at 85°C reduce the need for overspecifying multiple capacitors.
• Defined Leakage Behavior: A specified leakage current (1640 µA) allows predictable bias and standby current planning in system design.
• Production‑Friendly Packaging: Tray packing and mass production availability simplify procurement and high‑volume assembly logistics.
• Wide Operating Range: −40°C to +85°C operating range offers suitability across a broad set of environmental conditions encountered in general‑purpose equipment.
• Standards Compliance: Conformance to RoHS and LLS series endurance specifications helps meet regulatory and reliability requirements.
