LLS2E152MELC

The LLS2E152MELC is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLS series, offering 1500 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with ±20% tolerance. It is designed for general-purpose applications that require high-voltage bulk capacitance with robust ripple-current capability and long endurance.

Key value comes from its combination of high capacitance and voltage, significant low- and high-frequency ripple-current handling, a durable 3000-hour endurance rating at 85°C, and RoHS compliance—packaged in a radial, snap-in can sized φ35 × 40 mm and supplied in tray packing for mass production.

Key Features

• Electrical specifications — 1500 µF capacitance rated at 250 V with ±20% tolerance; designed for polarized DC applications.
• Ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 4.33 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 6.495 A at 50 kHz, enabling robust handling of AC ripple across typical system frequencies.
• Low dissipation factor — tanδ (DF) 0.15 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting efficient energy storage with controlled loss characteristics.
• Endurance and reliability — Rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C; series specification confirms endurance under rated DC bias plus ripple current for 3000 hours at 85°C.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 1830 µA, provided per manufacturer test conditions.
• Mounting and package — Snap-in radial can with dimensions φ35 × 40 mm (L: 4 × D: 3.5 cm); supplied in tray packing suitable for production assembly.
• Operating temperature — Rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, matching the LLS series category temperature range for the specified voltages.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant as part of Nichicon's LLS series offering.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic systems — Bulk energy storage and smoothing where 1500 µF at 250 V is required in a snap-in, production-ready package.
• Power conversion modules — Where sustained ripple-current capability and endurance at 85°C are needed for DC bias plus ripple current operation.
• Industrial equipment — Applications that need a rugged, polarized aluminum electrolytic with defined leakage and loss characteristics across –40°C to +85°C.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage bulk capacitance: 1500 µF at 250 V provides substantial charge storage in a single component, reducing component count for high-voltage applications.
• Strong ripple-current handling: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (4.33 A at 120 Hz, 6.495 A at 50 kHz) support demanding AC ripple environments.
• Proven endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current, matching the LLS series endurance specification for reliable long-term performance.
• Compact, production-ready package: Snap-in radial can (φ35 × 40 mm) supplied in tray packing for efficient assembly and secure board attachment.
• Controlled loss and leakage: tanδ 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz and 1830 µA leakage current are specified for predictable electrical behavior in system designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant as part of the Nichicon LLS series.
