LLS2G221MELB

The LLS2G221MELB is a Nichicon LLS series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package. It provides a 220 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating, intended for general‑purpose applications that require a high‑voltage snap‑in capacitor solution.

Designed for durability in elevated temperature conditions, this part is rated for operation from −25 °C to +85 °C, offers a 3000‑hour endurance at 85 °C, and is RoHS‑compliant. It is available in tray packing and is in mass production.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Ripple Current Capability — 1.66 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.374 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support applications with significant AC ripple demands.
• Low Loss Characteristic — tan δ up to 0.20 measured at 20 °C and 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation for the specified rating.
• Leakage Current — specified leakage current of 880 µA.
• Temperature and Endurance — operating range −25 °C to +85 °C with a 3000‑hour life test at 85 °C under rated ripple conditions.
• Form Factor and Mounting — radial, snap‑in can (φ30×30L / 3.0×3.0 cm) for secure board mounting; tray packing for production handling.
• Compliance — RoHS‑compliant.
• Polarized Device — designed for polarized applications.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic equipment — for designs requiring a 400 V, 220 µF snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor.
• High‑voltage DC circuits — suited to applications that need a 400 V rated capacitor with significant ripple handling capability.
• Elevated‑temperature environments — appropriate where components must meet a 3000‑hour endurance at 85 °C.
• Panel and board assemblies — snap‑in radial can package intended for secure mechanical mounting and production assembly.

Unique Advantages

• 400 V rating — enables use in higher DC voltage applications without changing capacitor topology.
• Strong ripple performance — 1.66 A at 120 Hz and 2.374 A at 50 kHz provide capability for demanding ripple conditions.
• Extended life at temperature — 3000‑hour endurance at 85 °C under rated conditions supports longer service intervals.
• Compact snap‑in form — φ30×30L radial can with snap‑in terminals for reliable board retention and simplified assembly.
• Controlled dissipation — tan δ specified at 0.20 (20 °C, 120 Hz) for predictable loss behavior at the rated voltage.
• RoHS compliance — meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.
