Designed for reliable operation across −40 °C to 85 °C, the LLS2E181MELY delivers robust ripple-handling and extended endurance—rated for 3000 hours at 85 °C—making it suitable for a variety of mass-production power-electronics designs.

Key Features

• Core type & package — Aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal, radial can package for secure board mounting.
• Capacitance & voltage — 180 µF nominal capacitance at a 250 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Dissipation factor — tanδ of 0.15 measured at 20 °C and 120 Hz for the 250 V rating, supporting stable AC performance.
• Ripple current capability — 1200 mA at low frequency (120 Hz) and 1800 mA at high frequency (50 kHz), specified for rated conditions.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 630 µA under rated conditions.
• Endurance & temperature range — 3000 hours life at 85 °C with rated ripple current applied; operating temperature range −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Size & packing — Compact φ20 × 25 mm can length, supplied in tray packing and available for mass production.
• Regulatory status — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Suitable where a 250 V, 180 µF snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for general circuit use.
• Power supply modules — Intended for power supply and related general-purpose uses that match the capacitor’s voltage, capacitance, and ripple specifications.
• Industrial and commercial equipment — Applicable to mass-production designs operating within −40 °C to 85 °C that require long endurance under rated ripple conditions.

Unique Advantages

• High rated voltage — 250 V rating supports designs requiring higher DC voltage handling.
• Strong ripple performance — Dual-spec ripple currents (1.2 A at 120 Hz, 1.8 A at 50 kHz) for demanding AC conditions within rated limits.
• Extended endurance at elevated temperature — Withstands 3000 hours at 85 °C with rated ripple current applied, enabling longer service life in heat-stressed environments.
• Controlled dissipation — tanδ of 0.15 at 20 °C/120 Hz for the 250 V rating supports predictable AC loss behavior.
• Compact snap-in footprint — φ20 × 25 mm can in a snap-in radial package for secure mounting and efficient PCB layout.
• Low leakage — Specified leakage current of 630 µA to help maintain circuit stability under DC bias.
• Production-ready and compliant — Tray-packed, mass-production status and RoHS compliance simplify procurement and regulatory planning.
