Overview of LLS2E122MELC – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap‑In, 250 V, 1.2 mF
The LLS2E122MELC is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in, radial can package designed for general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 1.2 mF nominal capacitance at a 250 V rating with polarized terminals and is specified for an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C.
Engineered for sustained ripple handling, this capacitor is specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85 °C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for equipment requiring reliable bulk capacitance and long‑term ripple endurance.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Tolerance — 1.2 mF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C, providing predictable bulk energy storage.
- Rated Voltage — 250 V rating suitable for medium‑voltage DC bus and power supply applications.
- Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in mounting for secure panel or PCB installation in a radial, can style package (polarized).
- Operating Temperature — Specified for −40 °C to +85 °C operation, matching the series category range for this voltage class.
- Long Endurance at Rated Ripple — Withstands 3000 hours of DC bias plus rated ripple current at 85 °C per series endurance specification.
- High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current values of 3.84 A at 120 Hz and 5.76 A at 50 kHz support high‑ripple power applications.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Compact Footprint — Body dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm for space‑efficient board layouts.
Typical Applications
- Power supply filtering and smoothing — Bulk capacitance and rated ripple endurance make this part suitable for reducing voltage ripple on DC rails.
- Industrial power electronics — Useful in control and power modules where polarized snap‑in capacitors are required for energy storage and ripple management.
- General‑purpose electronic equipment — Applicable wherever robust, long‑life electrolytic bulk capacitance is needed within the specified temperature and voltage limits.
Unique Advantages
