LLS2G101MELY

The LLS2G101MELY is a snap‑in terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LLS series, specified for general‑purpose electronic applications. It is a polarized, radial can snap‑in package with a rated capacitance of 100 µF and a rated voltage of 400 V.

Designed for applications that require sustained ripple endurance and RoHS compliance, this capacitor withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple‑current application at 85°C and operates across a −25°C to +85°C temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage, tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting in a radial can form factor; compact body dimension listed as L: 3 × D: 2 cm for board integration.
• Ripple‑Current Endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C; measured ripple currents include 950 mA at 120 Hz and 1.359 A at 50 kHz.
• Operating Temperature — Rated for operation from −25°C to +85°C (applicable for 350–450 V range per series specification).
• Reliability Characteristics — Endurance defined by capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ within specified limits, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value after the endurance test.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), enabling use in designs requiring restricted‑substance adherence.
• Polarized Design — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC applications requiring polarized capacitance.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Electronics — Specified as a general purpose capacitor; suited to circuit designs that require a 100 µF, 400 V polarized snap‑in electrolytic capacitor.
• High‑Voltage, High‑Ripple Environments — Intended for applications where long‑term ripple endurance at elevated temperature (3000 hours at 85°C) is required.
• RoHS‑Compliant Product Designs — Fits designs that require compliance with RoHS directives for restricted substances.
