Overview of LLS2W121MELB – 450 V, 120 µF Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LLS2W121MELB is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 450 V and 120 µF, designed for general‑purpose power applications. It combines a high voltage rating with a compact radial, can snap‑in package (φ30 × 25L / L: 2.5 cm × D: 3.0 cm) for reliable board mounting and high‑volume assembly (tray packing, mass production).
Engineered for operation from –25 °C to 85 °C, this polarized capacitor delivers specified ripple handling and endurance for applications that require sustained DC bias and ripple current at elevated temperatures.
Key Features
- High voltage rating: Rated voltage 450 V for applications that require elevated DC working voltage.
- Rated capacitance and tolerance: 120 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
- Snap‑in radial package: Radial, can snap‑in mounting provides sturdy board attachment suitable for mass production tray packing.
- Operating temperature and endurance: Rated for –25 °C to 85 °C and specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85 °C.
- Ripple current performance: Rated ripple current of 1.12 A at 120 Hz and 1.602 A at 50 kHz for effective ripple handling and smoothing.
- Leakage current specification: Leakage defined as I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20 °C (C = µF, V = V), enabling predictable leakage behavior.
- Polarized construction: Polarized aluminum electrolytic design for DC filtering and energy storage in power circuits.
- RoHS compliant: Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements.
Typical Applications
- Power supply filtering: Smoothing DC bus and reducing ripple where a 450 V-rated capacitor is required.
- DC link and energy buffering: Bulk energy storage and decoupling in high‑voltage DC circuits that benefit from high capacitance and ripple handling.
- General‑purpose power electronics: Use in commercial and industrial boards requiring a robust snap‑in mounting and long‑term endurance at 85 °C.
Unique Advantages
- High voltage capability: 450 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage power rail designs without series stacking.
- Predictable endurance: Specified 3000 hours at 85 °C under rated ripple current gives design confidence for long‑term operation.
- Defined ripple performance: Explicit ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies allow matching to power supply requirements.
- Compact snap‑in form factor: φ30 × 25L radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies PCB retention and supports automated assembly in tray packing.
- Clear leakage specification: Leakage current defined by industry‑standard formula (I ≤ 3√CV) for predictable power loss budgeting.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regulated product lines.
