LLS2V331MELA

The LLS2V331MELA is a Nichicon LLS series snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 330 µF capacitance at a 350 V rated voltage. It is a polar, snap‑in, radial can type designed for general purpose applications requiring high‑voltage bulk capacitance in a compact package.

Key electrical and reliability attributes include a tanδ (DF) of 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current capability, a rated operating temperature range of –25°C to +85°C, and an endurance specification of 3000 hours at 85°C. The part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance: 330 µF nominal with a tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing predictable bulk capacitance for design calculations.
• High Voltage Rating: 350 V rated voltage suitable for high‑voltage circuits that require substantial stored energy.
• Loss Tangent (tanδ): tanδ = 0.15 (max) at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling designers to account for dielectric losses in AC and ripple environments.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low‑frequency ripple current 1.97 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 2.817 A at 50 kHz, supporting applications with continuous ripple loading.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1010 µA (measured condition per product data), enabling assessment of standby losses and discharge behavior.
• Reliability / Endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 85°C under specified conditions, with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage current after endurance testing.
• Mechanical / Package: Snap‑in radial can (φ25 × 35 mm), polarized with snap‑in terminals for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing for handling and assembly.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant as stated in the product information.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Circuits — Provides 330 µF at 350 V for general purpose applications that require high‑voltage bulk capacitance.
• Snap‑In Mounting Environments — Designed for assemblies using snap‑in radial cans where secure PCB retention is required.
• High‑Voltage Capacitor Requirements — Suitable where a 350 V rated aluminum electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple and endurance specifications is needed.

Unique Advantages

• High Rated Voltage: 350 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage circuits without needing series stacking of lower‑voltage capacitors.
• Defined Endurance: 3000 hours at 85°C provides measurable long‑term performance for designs that require proven life characteristics.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current values (1.97 A at 120 Hz; 2.817 A at 50 kHz) allow designers to size components for continuous ripple loading.
• Predictable Losses and Leakage: tanδ of 0.15 and a specified leakage current enable accurate thermal and power‑loss budgeting in system designs.
• Snap‑In Form Factor: Radial snap‑in can (φ25 × 35 mm) gives secure mechanical mounting and straightforward PCB integration.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for applications with environmental compliance needs.
