LLS2E182MELC

The LLS2E182MELC from Nichicon is a snap‑in, radial can aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LLS series, rated at 250 V with 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance. It is an 85°C standard device designed for general-purpose applications that require high-voltage bulk capacitance with long ripple‑endurance.

Key electrical and mechanical attributes include a ±20% capacitance tolerance, a measured tanδ of 0.15 (max at 250 V), a specified ripple‑current endurance (4.54 A at 120 Hz; 6.81 A at 50 kHz), a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 85°C, snap‑in mounting and tray packing for mass production.

Key Features

• High Voltage & Capacitance: 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 250 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for high‑voltage circuits.
• Endurance & Temperature Range: Rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 85°C; operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C aligns with the LLS series category for 16–250 V parts.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple current of 4.54 A at 120 Hz and 6.81 A at 50 kHz supports sustained AC ripple handling under DC bias.
• Loss Tangent (tanδ): Specified tanδ of 0.15 (maximum at 250 V, 120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current meets I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C, as defined in the datasheet.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, snap‑in can (φ35 × 50 mm nominal dimensions) for secure vertical mounting and ease of assembly; supplied in tray packing for production workflows.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant per the LLS series documentation.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance for smoothing and filtering in general‑purpose power circuits where 250 V and 1.8 mF are required.
• General‑purpose ripple endurance — Circuits that require sustained ripple‑current capability at 120 Hz and higher frequencies up to 50 kHz.
• General‑purpose industrial and commercial equipment — Snap‑in mounting and tray packing support high-volume assembly for standard industrial/commercial designs.

Unique Advantages

• Long ripple‑endurance life: 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current provides predictable long‑term performance for continuous applications.
• High DC rating with substantial capacitance: 250 V at 1.8 mF enables fewer components for high‑voltage bulk storage needs.
• Measured ripple specs across frequencies: Explicit ripple‑current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow designers to evaluate thermal and ripple performance without additional extrapolation.
• Manufacturing‑friendly packaging: Tray packing and snap‑in radial can simplify handling and assembly in mass production environments.
• Clear electrical limits: Datasheet leakage current formula and tanδ specification provide verifiable parameters for design validation.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directive requirements for restricted substances.
