LLS2G221MELZ

The LLS2G221MELZ from Nichicon is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor rated at 400 V and 220 µF with ±20% tolerance. It is a polarized, snap‑in can-style capacitor intended for general-purpose electronic applications where a high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is required.

Designed to withstand extended ripple-current exposure, this part offers specified ripple ratings at both low and high frequency and a 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C, providing predictable behavior under sustained operating conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 220 µF rated at 400 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap‑in Terminal Package: Radial, can-style snap-in mounting for secure board retention and vertical installation.
• Ripple Current Endurance: Rated ripple current of 1.580 A at 120 Hz and 2.2594 A at 50 kHz, with withstanding 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C per datasheet endurance conditions.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 880 µA (measured per product conditions).
• Operating Temperature Range: –25°C to +85°C, consistent with the 350–450 V category in the series datasheet.
• Size & Packing: φ22 × 45 mm (approx. L: 4.5 × D: 2.2 cm) form factor; supplied in tray packing for mass production.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant as stated in the product information and series datasheet.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose – High‑voltage filtering and smoothing: Suitable where a polarized 400 V, 220 µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for energy storage and ripple handling.
• General Purpose – DC bus and bulk capacitance: Usable in designs that require high-voltage bulk capacitance with documented ripple-current performance.
• General Purpose – Board-mounted power modules: Snap‑in mounting supports board retention in assemblies that deploy can-style radial capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• Documented ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies and a 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C provide traceable operating limits for design validation.
• Polarized high-voltage rating: 400 V rating with 220 µF capacitance supports applications needing higher DC voltage capability in a compact can.
• Snap‑in mechanical stability: Snap‑in terminals simplify vertical board mounting and help secure the component in production assemblies.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Specified leakage current figure (880 µA) enables more accurate power-loss and standby-current calculations.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements as noted in the product information and series datasheet for regulatory consistency.
• Mass-production readiness: Tray packing supports automated handling and assembly for volume production runs.
