LLS2E561MELA

The LLS2E561MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal (radial can) package engineered for general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with polarized construction and snap-in mounting for secure PCB retention.

Designed for sustained ripple-current operation at elevated temperatures, this RoHS-compliant component is specified for reliable performance over long durations and is suitable for designs that require bulk capacitance, voltage handling, and robust ripple endurance.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage - 560 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing substantial bulk energy storage for polarized circuits.
• Snap-In Radial Can Package - Snap-in terminal, radial can package type for secure mechanical fixation to PCBs and convenient assembly in rack or module layouts.
• Rated Ripple Endurance - Specified to withstand application of rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 85°C, supporting long-term operation under ripple stress.
• Operating Temperature Range - Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C, accommodating a broad ambient temperature range for many general-purpose installations.
• Ripple Current Capability - Rated ripple current of 2.35 A at 120 Hz and 3.525 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective filtering and decoupling under AC ripple conditions.
• Leakage and Stability - Designed in accordance with series endurance and shelf-life criteria (endurance: capacitance within ±20% after endurance test; leakage current within initial specified limits after conditioning).
• Regulatory Compliance - RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint - Physical dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm, providing a compact solution for applications requiring high capacitance in a small can.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics – Suited for general-purpose circuits requiring polarized bulk capacitance with secure snap-in mounting and sustained ripple endurance.
• Power Modules and Supply Filters – Used where 250 V rating and specified ripple-current capability at 85 °C are required to stabilize DC rails and filter AC ripple.
• Industrial Equipment – Applicable in industrial control and power assemblies that benefit from radial snap-in mounting and proven endurance over extended runtime.

Unique Advantages

• Long Ripple-Current Endurance: Withstands rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 85 °C, reducing the need for frequent replacements in sustained-stress environments.
• High Voltage Capability: 250 V rating supports higher-voltage circuits while maintaining substantial capacitance (560 µF).
• Robust Mechanical Mounting: Snap-in radial can package provides reliable PCB retention for modules and high-vibration applications.
• Broad Temperature Range: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range accommodates a wide set of ambient conditions for general-purpose deployments.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (2.35 A at 120 Hz, 3.525 A at 50 kHz) support filtering across common ripple spectrums.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets directive requirements for restricted substances, supporting environmentally conscious designs.
