Overview of LLS2G121MELY – Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 400V, 120µF
The LLS2G121MELY is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 400 V with 120 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It is a polarized, radial can (snap‑in) device designed for general‑purpose applications that require high‑voltage capacitance with reliable ripple handling and long endurance.
Key electrical and mechanical attributes include a tanδ of 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), low leakage current, high rated ripple currents, a 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C, and RoHS compliance. The part is supplied in tray packing and is in mass production.
Key Features
- Rated Voltage & Capacitance: 400 V nominal rating with 120 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance, providing high‑voltage bulk capacitance in a compact form.
- Snap‑in Mounting: Radial, can‑style snap‑in terminals for secure PCB mounting and mechanical stability in through‑hole assemblies.
- Ripple Current Capability: 1070 mA low‑frequency ripple current (120 Hz) and 1530.1 mA high‑frequency ripple current (50 kHz) to support designs with continuous AC ripple stress.
- Loss Tangent: tanδ = 0.15 (max) at 20°C and 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation for the rated voltage class.
- Leakage Current: 650 µA specified leakage current for predictable DC performance after voltage application.
- Endurance & Temperature Range: Qualified for 3000 hours at 85°C with an operating range of −25°C to 85°C.
- Compact Footprint: Size φ20 × 35 mm (L: 3.5 × D: 2 cm) with a maximum seated height of 1.378 inches for space‑constrained designs.
- Regulatory Compliance & Production: RoHS compliant, tray packed, and available in mass production quantities.
Typical Applications
- General‑Purpose Power Designs: Suited for equipment requiring a 400 V, 120 µF polarized capacitor with snap‑in mounting for robust through‑hole assemblies.
- High‑Voltage DC Bus Support: Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling where rated ripple current and 400 V withstand are required.
- Industrial Equipment: Applicable in general‑purpose industrial modules that demand long endurance at 85°C and predictable leakage and loss characteristics.
Unique Advantages
- High‑Voltage Bulk Capacitance: 400 V rating with 120 µF provides substantial energy storage for designs that need elevated DC voltage handling.
- Proven Endurance: 3000 hours at 85°C ensures stable capacitance, tanδ, and leakage behavior over extended high‑temperature operation.
- Robust Ripple Performance: Specified ripple currents of 1070 mA (120 Hz) and 1530.1 mA (50 kHz) allow reliable operation under continuous AC ripple conditions.
- Predictable Electrical Losses: tanδ specified at 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz) helps designers estimate dissipation and thermal behavior accurately.
- Compact Snap‑in Package: φ20 × 35 mm can with snap‑in terminals simplifies board retention and mechanical mounting for through‑hole assemblies.
- Production Ready & Compliant: Tray packing, mass production status, and RoHS compliance support volume manufacturing and regulatory requirements.
