LLS2G221MELA

The LLS2G221MELA is a Nichicon LLS series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial, snap‑in can package. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage with polarized terminals and is specified for general‑purpose applications.

Designed for equipment requiring high‑voltage, can‑style capacitors, the LLS2G221MELA combines snap‑in mounting convenience with documented endurance—3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current—and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance at 400 V, tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap‑in Can Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in mounting for secure chassis or PCB assembly; package dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Specified to withstand 3000 hours at 85°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current applied (peak voltage not to exceed rated voltage).
• Ripple Current Ratings — Rated ripple current values include 1.64 A at 120 Hz and 2.345 A at 50 kHz, supporting applications with continuous AC components.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified operation from −25 °C to +85 °C for 350–450 V rated items; designed to perform within this range for the LLS series.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design for DC applications requiring high capacitance and voltage handling.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Equipment — For designs that require a 220 µF, 400 V polarized capacitor in a snap‑in can for general power or energy storage needs.
• Industrial Power Supplies — Suitable where sustained ripple endurance is required—documented 3000 hours at 85 °C under rated ripple current with specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz.
• Chassis or Rack Installations — Snap‑in radial can configuration and compact footprint (L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm) enable secure mounting in equipment enclosures and serviceable assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High‑Voltage Capability — 400 V rated voltage for applications that need elevated DC voltage handling.
• Proven Thermal Endurance — Endurance specified as 3000 hours at 85 °C under rated ripple conditions for predictable long‑term performance.
• Documented Ripple Performance — Ripple current specifications provided for both low and higher frequencies (1.64 A at 120 Hz; 2.345 A at 50 kHz) to support design verification.
• Secure, Serviceable Mounting — Snap‑in terminal can reduces installation time and provides robust mechanical retention for chassis‑mounted applications.
• Clear Specification Set — Key electrical and mechanical specifications (capacitance, tolerance, polarity, temperature range, dimensions) available for BOM and mechanical integration.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmental regulatory alignment.
