Overview of LLS2E391MELZ – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap-In, 250V 390µF
The LLS2E391MELZ is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It combines a 250 V rated voltage with 390 µF capacitance in a radial, snap-in can optimized for rack and chassis-mounted power circuitry.
Engineered for reliable long-term operation, this part offers high ripple-current capability, a wide operating temperature range, and a 3000-hour endurance at 85°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and power-electronics environments where robust smoothing and bulk capacitance are required.
Key Features
- Rated Voltage & Capacitance — 250 V rated voltage with 390 µF nominal capacitance and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Low Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 (max) for the 250 V rating at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient energy storage with controlled dissipation.
- High Ripple Current Capability — Able to handle 1.88 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.82 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting high-stress ripple environments.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 930 µA for predictable standby and quiescent behavior.
- Long Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, meeting endurance criteria after restoration to 20°C as defined in the product series specifications.
- Operating Environment — Specified operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C for broad environmental compatibility.
- Package & Mounting — Radial, snap-in can (φ22 × 35 mm length) for secure chassis or PCB mounting; supplied in tray packing and in mass production.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements as stated for the LLS series.
Typical Applications
- Power Supply Filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in general-purpose power supplies, leveraging the 250 V rating, 390 µF capacitance, and rated ripple-current capability.
- Industrial Power Electronics — Energy buffering and decoupling in industrial equipment where −40°C to +85°C operation and long 3000-hour endurance at 85°C are required.
- DC Link / Bulk Storage — High-voltage bulk capacitance for chassis-mounted DC link or intermediate storage in general-purpose power circuits, using the radial snap-in package for secure mounting.
- General-Purpose Electronic Systems — Reliable bulk capacitance for assorted general-purpose applications where RoHS compliance and predictable leakage/tan δ are important design factors.
Unique Advantages
- High Voltage Capability: 250 V rating provides room for higher-voltage general-purpose power designs while maintaining 390 µF bulk capacitance.
- Robust Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies enable use in applications with substantial AC stress on the capacitor.
- Endurance-Proven Design: 3000 hours endurance at 85°C under rated conditions provides quantified long-term reliability for sustained operation.
- Compact Snap-In Form Factor: φ22 × 35 mm radial, snap-in can offers a space-efficient solution for chassis or board-mounted power modules with tray packing for production assembly.
- Controlled Electrical Characteristics: Defined tan δ (0.15 max) and leakage current provide predictable performance for thermal and power-loss budgeting.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in environmentally regulated production programs.
